Such a treat! I've been lucky enough to try several times now and I've really enjoyed everything…read more The Popcorn Tofu with teriyaki is definitely my favorite, but the East Asian Plate with a little bit of everything is the perfect way to try it all. I love how fresh everything tastes, the delicious side vegetables (the marinated mushrooms, baby bok choy, and pickled daikon) are a perfect accompaniment and help the meal feel "lighter" in a way. The potstickers are delicious and savory. The Korean BBQ had an absolutely wonderful flavor. It was definitely on the chewy side so I preferred to cut it up in advance because I like a bite with a little bit of everything! If you like it spicy, be sure to try the hot sauce. Also, as a bonus, the people who run this truck could not be nicer or more friendly.

I've eaten a lot of ramen in my life and it's been a long time since any restaurant's ramen excited…read moreme. That all changed last week when I tried the vegan popcorn tofu ramen from the newest Denver food truck, Mu Denver. Extremely fresh, hot, and a large variety of goodies other than the noodles. The broth is very savory, and there was bok choy, onions, bean sprouts, ginger, and of course the popcorn tofu, which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Their schedule is limited right now (they're at Nooch on Tuesdays) and probably once the snow hits, they'll go into hibernation (as we all will). Next time I'll try the gyoza ramen. Or maybe I'll get the popcorn tofu again. Or ... Yumm.

The trick is the balance of flavors....which keeps you/your tongue guessing as to what they are. One day you & your palate stumble upon these ingredients which have all come together to form a MOJO. The Columbian word for "mystery" and for many.....salsa will be what they first think of. But please.....don't go there {salsa} --- as these 8 painstakingly intricate mojo flavors are nothing like you will find beside your chips at any local or regional traditional Mexican / Tex-Mex / Spanish restaurant. Our family cannot stop experimenting with how many ways we can or have used these insanely delicious mojo's.....for the past 2.5 months! From marinades, to egg-anything, to bruschetta, on ravioli's & pasta's, over vegetables, mixed with certain seasonal fruits, in crema sauces....my wife just stated how amazing it was that she has not tired of any flavors or our constant usage. Watch what happens when you leave a container with ciabatta bread or chips in the employee lounge/kitchen at your place of work. And then listen for the ecstatic chortles that ensue and how many "where can I find that stuff tomorrow!!!" emails begin circulating. Obviously, this is a new and expanding business for its owner, yet her volume continues to grow and she has begun to sell out towards the end of Farmers Markets. Smaller retailers / specialty shops are looking to carry her product line - have not heard whom yet. The website does not give you a sense of the products impact as the owner seems to be so busy in the kitchen that she has no time for upgrading her web-marketing image - just making more product. You can spend $6 on numerous food items. Fast or specialty. Yet your money will go waaaaaay further, grace & embellish numerous food items, allow for more 'last bites' to be savored, when you spend the same amount on these mojo's!!!

The events are typically held in somewhat out of the way locations that never seem to have enough, 1) seating, 2) shade, 3) port-a-potties (pick one or more). However, I keep going, because the food tends to be excellent, even if it may seem a bit overpriced for what you are getting. The beer is definitely overpriced. But, hey, it is there, it is cold, and you know you want it, so what are you going to do? It may seem a bit pricey to pay $5 for a single micro-brew, but at least you are not paying $10 for a macro-brew at a sporting event. The people at these events are having a good time, and the mood is rather infectious. I like to come early, stake out a spot, and get my favorite foods before the lines build too much. When all the trucks arrive early/on time, this works well. When there are late comers to the party, you may want to change your game plan.

I came, I like and I am A FAN of you eversince GOD KNOWS WHEN.... Have been "following" you thru Facebook... Attended one of your Events way back on Saturday June 30th 2012. That time, your event was scheduled @ Denver Design District, near to That YELLOW Structure, close proximity to ALAMEDA Light Rail Station with a couple of my foodie friends as part of our meetup schedule events. Came early coz I want to make sure I can "recce" aka SURVEY the MENU from the Food Trucks available for that event... Several Food Trucks awaits for everyone. Easier to pay with CASH. Better to come early like I do, since I dont really fancy long lines just to wait for my food. Several seating areas available, but I wish they could provide more. The Food from the Food Trucks can be pricey for some, hence its good to come with a couple of friends so you can share the cost of each food and share the "bites"... like have sample bites if you intend to go thru all the Food Trucks throughout the whole event. From this event, I met a couple of lovely Yelper friends too. Ideal Location to have a feast with foodies alike and hope to see you again, JLSF soon. @101/2012

Thankfully, some of the local restauranteurs order their customized sausage from Polidori with a higher fat content to help deliver some flavor (and texture). While their sausage matriarch, Anna Polidori, is likely none too happy with the recipe tampering, I'll bet you a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano she is beaming with pride over the marketing and business-sense of this Polidori generation. I admire them and truly I hope they are making a fortune. In my humble estimation there are far better local options for Italian sausage. Try em for yourself, you'll see.

They offer free tours, which involves watching a short clip about the history of Hammond and then watching the employees work through a looking glass. It was neat learning about this candy business; I've never heard about it. I love learning origin stories because it gives me an idea of the company's values. I think it's amazing that they HAND MAKE all their candies. They have cute paper hats that you can wear. In addition, there are some areas for good photo opportunities. After the tour, you are gifted with a candy cane! You are then led into their candy store. You obviously don't have to purchase anything, but to complete the experience, it doesn't hurt to walk away with some chocolate. (: I'm not from Colorado, so I'm not sure if the prices were cheaper or more expensive than the grocery store (I'm going to assume more expensive). Regardless, we did buy some things. I got a Hammond chocolate bar, some discounted chocolate from their clearance section, and their popular Mitchell Sweets. The Mitchell sweet is $2 for a small packet! My husband liked it, but I thought it was extremely sweet and I only took the tiniest bite. I feel like that little packet can go a long way because of the sweetness. They charge $0.10 for a bag. I didn't want to pay for a bag, so I just used my paper hat as a tray. lol Overall, I did enjoy the visit. I like that it was free and candy cane gift at the end was the sweet cherry on top of the tour.

It was such a fun 30-minute tour with children or adults. The tour starts with a short video explaining the history and giving fun facts about Hammond Candy. After the tour of the factory, we each received a free candy, which was taffy. It's cool that they sell the same taffy at Trader Joe's. We ended up buying some of the caramels and candies to take home to our family. Overall, a fun little experience if you're interested in the candy making process or just want something to do with your family!
