Food Truck Infatuation

Yes, I AM A FOOD SNOB! I readily admit it. But food comes in many forms and my infatuation recently has been the food trucks from which we partake at the micro brews we frequent. This past week we had an awesome meal from a truck (I don't remember the name) and it was so good I had to come home and replicate it this weekend. It wasn't that it was anything super special, but the paring of the ingredients was just perfect. Fried green tomatoes (yes, it's a Southern thing), homemade black beans, Asian slaw, Sriracha mayo and Pico de Gallo. Topped off with a bit of goat cheese and it was the perfect amount of spicy, sweet, sour, crunchy...just YUM! Part of the fun of eating this way is the disposable dishes.....I HAD to have those for the occasion to make it feel authentic!

No big recipes here other than the Asian Slaw. Any recipe will work, but I chose this one from Alton Brown and it was beautiful and tasty.

Make black beans, Pico De Gallo, Sriracha mayo and Fried Green Tomatoes. Nothing special here.  Put it all in the "paper boat" and top with some fresh goat cheese. Bon appetit and remember, you aren't lowering your standards....you are just appreciating a new cuisine. The old food truck just ain't what it use to be. Oh yeah, and don't forget the beer!!!!!!
