I just stumbled upon this place in Jackson Square last Friday as I was in Hamilton for work this…read moreweek. This honestly made my day. I love gourmet food trucks, and so rarely see them. As many of you probably know by now, mac and cheese is my all time favourite. I saw that they had it as a side dish for $2 so had to try it. I wasn't really feeling a sandwich (though the pulled pork looked really good), so I opted for the pulled pork nachos. They nachos were $8 and a pop was $1. When I ordered, the guy who took my order said "why don't we make it a combo" and only charged me $10. I love when places do that! Anyway, the nachos were perfectly cheesy, and were topped with sour cream and pico de gallo (one of my fave things in the world). It was fresh and home made. The absolute best was the pulled pork. It was so deliciously juicy and was coated with a tangy BBQ sauce - not too saucy though! I would get this again for sure. The mac and cheese was just as good. They use the spiral noodles which are always fun. It's not too too cheesy, but has some good herbs and spices that make up for it. It has a bit of a kick too. Just a slight bit of heat. I would have liked a bit more, but I'm not going to lie, with the mac and cheese and nachos I was stuffed and had to bring some more. And yes, it was just as good heated up later. I've been in Hamilton for work this past week too and have walked by Jackson Square everyday hoping the food truck would be there. Unfortunately I've been disappointed b/c it hasn't been there, but they do have a "where are we" map on their website.

I remember a lot of southern comfort foods and vegan/vegetarian items for my niece's friend, Joi. Which she wasn't. Jk. We had a bit of a wait due to time of day and it being a smaller restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and I recall our server being quite attentive. My niece had a brisket hoagie. A great sandwich once you get past the pickled onion. We really enjoyed their fried chicken/mac n cheese concoction and an outstanding loaded poutine. All in all the food was very good, proportionate and reasonably priced (esp after the exchange rate). The atmosphere was acceptable and the people were extremely likable.

Carne Cartel (a collaboration with Chainsmokers, the urban halal barbecue restaurant with locations…read morein the GTA and London) is a new stationary food truck currently in its Soft Opening, that has taken up residence in the same plaza as Growers Retail in Scarborough. They specialize in halal inspired sandwiches ($10.99) that are packed with flavour. Let me preface by saying that I'm not normally a sandwich person. But Carne Cartel has made me rethink my stance on sandwiches. Even just reading the descriptions of these sandos had my mouth watering. Some of the menu items include: The Cowboy - bbq brisket, creamy coleslaw, crispy onions, smokn'spicy mayo Hot Tit - flamed chicken breast, pepper sauce, garlic hero mayo, cucumber, sweet onions, scallions, BB pickles Hot & Crispy- dredged and fried chicken breast, sweet spicy sauce, garlic herb mayo, BB pickles K -pop - bulgogi brisket, carrot, cucumber, sweet onions, scallions, kimchee Eat my Eggplant - crispy battered eggplant, sweet onions, smokn'spicy mayo, garlic herb mayo, scallions, kimchee, BB pickles We tried the K-pop sando. The sandwich was generous in size and there was tons of flavour in the sauce and thinly sliced but crisped bulgogi brisket pieces. I really enjoyed the acidity from the kimchee and the freshness imparted by the cilantro and vegetables. Also featured during the soft opening were some Filipino inspired dishes from Chef Mark Esguerra's childhood of enjoying his grandmother's (aka Lola's) cooking. Inasal (or chargrill) is a method of cooking that imparts incredible flavours to whatever is being prepared. Using the inasal technique, Chef Mark takes humble dishes like chicken and Loco moco and elevates the experience. We tried the Ma-nok N Rice ($12.99): sweet soy & lemongrass marinated chicken, pickled red chilis, crispy garlic, scallions, jasmine rice. This is no ordinary chicken and rice dish. The grilled chicken leg was so juicy and flavourful. The amazing balance between the salty soy, spicy chili, & freshness of the scallion and lemongrass flavours in the marinade makes this chicken extra special. There are options to upgrade to a half or whole chicken for $14.99 or $24.99 respectively. There is no seating so takeout only. We ate in our car. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu offerings. Highly highly recommend checking them out!

This was one my favorite food experiences in a long time, and some of the outright tastiest #eastsideeats I've EVER had. Up first I sampled their inasal portion of the menu (inasal is loosely translated to char-grilled), simply called The Burger Steak. Reminiscent for me of Hawaiian Loco Moco, this really complex and deep dish gives two (yes TWO) large flattened patties made from AAA chuck, smothered in incredibly rich mushroom gravy and a fried egg. However the star of the show - is their dun' up rice. This rice is Filipino garlic rice, well, done up to 1000. Creamy garlic and chili aoli, crispy garlic, scallions and pickled red chilies. Like, it's not even fair how good this is. Second, the k-pop sandwich is a revelation of flavour - a AAA brisket, char grilled to crispy perfection complemented with cucumbers, carrots, cilantro, bulgogi sauce, garlic aioli and kimchi. I would put this up against ANY smash burger in the city and I bet this sandwich will win EVERY TIME. This place definitely knows how to coax flavour in every bit of their food but also how each flavour complements each other to make the whole dish better. I can't wait to go back! #eastsideeats #torontoeats #yyzfood #filipinobbq
