Located on Sackville Drive at what seems like their permanent location in the parking lot of a dog…read moredaycare, The Ultimate Fry is a small fry truck that's been slinging their deep fryer and flat top fare for 17 years. Their location seems like an odd one, being past the main commercial section of Sackville Drive, but it is just a couple blocks from a junior high school, and they've surely benefited from the provincial government moving to make school cafeteria menus healthier. Ultimate's own menu is what you would expect - hamburgers, sausages and hotdogs, onion rings, the namesake French fries, and poutine (albeit with shredded mozza instead of curds). I was here to try out their much lauded fries, but wanted something more substantial with it so I got a single cheeseburger as well. As they use 4oz patties, I figured that this would be a more than adequate meal. I asked for my fries first since my burger was going to be about 10 minutes, and in a couple minutes had my tray of fries and took up residence on one of their three bright yellow picnic tables. The fries were of a medium thickness, golden brown and skin on - classic hand-cut fries. They were fairly crispy, but it's next to impossible to get fries this thick as crispy as their thinner brethren. They weren't as ultimate as advertised, but were still quite good. Several minutes later I had my burger. It was served simply on a piece of aluminum foil and open faced so I could dress it myself. The toppings were typical for a place that sells tubed meats - chopped onions, banana pepper rings, sauerkraut and pickles. I loaded up with some onions, relish and pickles - the ultimate breath enhancers of toppings. They're not big patties once cooked, and the bun was just your typical small-ish commercial bun. The meat had a good beef flavour and didn't seem like it was from frozen, but it would have benefited from a better crust and some more seasoning. While their name sets a pretty high bar, I feel "The Decent Fry" doesn't play as well, so I'll give them that.

They use huge potatoes so every fry is long,and they are cut thick, so the fries are substantial and tasty...not like some places where the fries are too small and broken up, and tasteless with lot of hard bits you leave behind. These fries are made to order...they take fresh potatoes and cut them right in front of you and put them directly in the fryer, so no cut up potatoes sitting around like some places. This freshness makes a difference...makes the texture and flavor perfect.

The main highlights of living in the Sullivan's Pond/Lake Banook area are readily apparent - the water, parks, trails, and nice houses - but sometimes you have to dig under the surface to know, oh, there's a food truck lot randomly on Prince Albert. One of those trucks is the pun-fully named Canton-Ease, and I had them in my sights while knees-deep in cardboard boxes and looking for a quick and, dare I say, easy dinner. Being a food truck, Canton-Ease's menu is much more compact than its brick and mortar forefathers, although that's not a bad thing. Another mark in the 'pros' column was the appearance of some legit Chinese dishes amongst the usual suspects. Ordering online is smooth , either through their own website's platform for pick-up or UberEats if you want delivery. I wasn't quite so tired from unpacking that I wanted to unnecessarily line Uber's pockets, so I did the pick-up myself. We started things off with the pan-fried dumplings. Takeout containers aren't the best friend of a food like this, but they still had some crispness by the time we got to them, and they had that great classic, dumpling flavour of pork and chives. I was very happy to see mapo tofu on the menu, and all the more so when I tried it. Even the Chinese places that have this on their menus often pull their punches a bit, but Canton-Ease's had a deep, rich flavour profile with spicy pops of chili, a little bit of funk from the mushrooms, and a hint of Sichuan peppercorn tingle. Together with the silky chunks of tofu and savoury bits of pork, this was an excellent map tofu! We had to get some noodles, and opted for the Singapore vermicelli, subbing in additional BBQ pork for the shrimp. While the noodles were broader than expected - more like a pho noodle - the curry flavour and crisp contrast of the veg made for a tasty dish nonetheless. Being the responsible adults that we are, we didn't completely forsake the Canada Food Guide, and ordered the stir-fried mix veg to get some much-needed green onto our plates. Tender-crisp chunks of broccoli, baby bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, bean sprouts and snow peas helped brighten up our plates and lighten our gluttonous guilt. Once we were more settled into the house, I made my way back to Canton-Ease for a lazy meal while my wife was out of town for work. The order was smaller this time, of course, but I did over-order ever-so-slightly so that my wife would have some leftovers to greet her when she got home the following night. Take notes, boys. I went for the boiled dumplings this time, figuring that they'd fare better as takeout than fried stuff does, and for my main I chose the Shanghai noodles. In a moment of weakness that I'll chalk up to culinary curiosity and not at all greediness, I tacked on a lone egg roll. The dumplings were expertly wrapped, with the supple wrapper perfectly hugging the juicy pork and cabbage filling. Dipped in some chili crisp, these were *chef's kiss* Not to be outdone, the egg roll was definitely made in-house, and leaned toward the "meat paste" style that used to be quite common in Halifax, but it still maintained some granular texture to the meat, and a rich, warm blend of seasoning further enhanced an egg roll that frankly puts its many cabbage-heavy competitors to shame. I love noodles of nearly any form, but the extra-thick ones in Shanghai noodles are always extra fun to slurp down. Once again, Canton-Ease's quality ingredients helped them stand out amongst the crowd, with the shiitake mushrooms bringing more to the table than their button cousins, and the rich, just-salty-enough-but-not-too-salty sauce gently coated every bite. While I didn't move to the Sullivan's Pond/Lake Banook area because it has a food truck lot, it *is* a nice little perk, and we'll definitely be ordering from Canton-Ease as long as they're our neighbours.

It can get pretty busy at lunchtimes so it may not be a great choice if you're on a 30 minute break, but I lucked out the other day and only had one person ahead of me. Considering they make everything fresh to order service was pretty quick. It was also very helpful and friendly. I ordered the 3 tacos for 8ish$ plus tax. You get a choice of chicken, beef or pork. I just chose all three. There is quite a selection for toppings and I had cheese, pico de gallo, green onions and cilantro on everthing. I tried the corn salsa on the chicken and medium on the other two. The staff is great at recommending pairings and I wisely took their advice on the sour cream sauces and had a different sauce to match each taco. All in all it was a great experience and fantastic lunch for about 10$. My chief complaint was having to wolf it down on a break, I would have liked the time to enjoy it. I will definitely be going back. I haven't tried them yet, but I hear the pickled red onions are a must have.

On my mission to try all of the local food trucks, I'd come across word of one at Dalhousie called…read moreMy Three Cousins. Further research told me that it was run by Dal's food services group (thumbs down) but was cheap (thumbs up).  Tracking them down was much more of an effort than it should have been, as My Three Cousins doesn't seem to be too concerned with things like social media, exposure for their business, or turning a profit. Messages regarding their hours on both Facebook and Twitter simply went unanswered. I can't recall how I finally discovered their hours or when they opened for the season, but it certainly wasn't thanks to the horrible management of M3C. If basic social media is beyond their ken, no wonder they're not on the Street Food app or going to the food truck rallies. I made my way over on one sunny summer day, taking in my old haunts of the Dalhousie campus. M3C is parked right next to the economics department and Studley gym, at the very top of University Ave. There were a few other people sitting and having a bite and lined up for food - mostly what appeared to be grad students slogging through summer work, and getting a cheap bite to eat. Their compact menu has a Lebanese/Greek theme to it, with the likes of souvlaki, falafel and Greek fries, which come topped with feta, and tzatziki on the side. They're certainly quite budget-friendly, as nothing costs over $6. I went with the chicken souvlaki, Greek fries, and a bottle of water. The damage after taxes was less than $14. I squatted down on one of the picnic tables to await my order, which was unexpectedly brought out to me instead of a being yelled out. Kudos to them, and it made me more bothered that M3C doesn't have a tipping function on their debit machine.   Despite getting the Greek fries as a side order, they seemed massive, with a sizeable container loaded with fries and covered in feta cheese. The chicken souvlaki wrap wasn't big, but hey, $6. The chicken had a nice flavour, was moist, and had a bit of char to it. I thought it was weird that there was rice in it, but I'm assuming that's because it's a cheap filler. Or maybe I don't know anything about souvlaki wraps, which is equally likely. My pile of fries were great - a deep, golden brown, these fries were short and ultra crisp, and the plentiful feta made for a tasty, salty topping. I didn't use much of the tzatziki, as it was a bit too dill-y for my likings, and the fries were good as they were.  The meal took me a bit to go through, but I wasn't in any rush, and enjoyed the sun and nostalgia of my alma mater. My Three Cousins is criminally managed, with abysmal market presence and exposure, which is sad because these guys could be making money for Dal and its students, instead of just doing the bare minimum to try and break even. If you're in the south end and looking for a quick bite between the hours of 11am and 2pm, give them a go.
