Ok, I now feel like I've tried enough of what's on offer here that I can write a fair review. I'm all about street food and this seem to be a good idea. The times I've visited they've had about 6 different food trucks or stands, plus a market stand selling fruit and veg. There are usually places to get coffee and cake, ice cream or crepes in among the more substantial food options.
What have I tried?
Firebird pizzas: Sure, nothing new. I've had these pizzas in Firebird itself and their food truck is a common sight at events. Thing is, the pizzas are really good and they can be ready in 3 minutes. I chose the truffled mushroom and brie pizza and everything about it was perfect.
Fresh Revolution: They do this seafood gumbo that's just amazing. I got so many mussels I thought I must have cheated somehow. Too good. Everyone else was into the Irish pakora and I'm sure it's great but the gumbo is important.
The Buffalo Truck: These guys do buttermilk fried chicken rolls, chicken wings and fries. I got the buffalo chicken roll with parmesan fries and it was all really good, especially for the price but I wait about 35 minutes for it. They hadn't really found their rhythm when I arrived though, and I suspect they'll get quicker. However, if you see a queue, know that it takes a while to clear.
Rost: Sliders and salads with pizazz. I tried the chicken slider which was nice, but smaller and pricier than the chicken rolls available from Buffalo. Also the guys running it were kind of rude. Maybe they were cold.
So I still need to try Might Mexican, Firedog Hotdogs, Babu Kitchen, Chompsky, Cav&Co, Flat Out, Linton and Co, Equis, and on and on and on. Neither my waistline nor my bank balance will thank me but I doubt if I'll regret it. read more
