AD named…read morethem the best fries in Amsterdam in 2014, so I have some evidence to back me up in this assertion. Their fries are crispy and flavorful, and the owner is friendly. One time I got overcharged by like 20 cents for a sauce by some dude working in the van, but that's the only bad thing I can say about the place. Pull up a plastic chair and enjoy the pigeons and masses of people walking by while you're enjoying your fries. It's like a little vacation without leaving Amsterdam. :)

Quite literally just a window inside the sizable complex, outdoor seating quite popular during long summer days while the inside is filled by youthful residents sipping Beer or Wine, arrival just an hour after opening finds everyone in jovial spirits and staff quite pleasant. Originally gaining notoriety for the Kimchief, Parrott's fondness for fermented Cabbage immediately evident on the menu, "Fry Me a River" takes on the popular "Smashburger" without over-flattening things and the result is a juicy mix of MRIJ Beef and Bone Marrow whose intrinsic flavor holds up well to condiments including Cheese, Pickles and Sauce. Sporting a fluffy but generous Bun, the attention to detail evident across Beef Chief's menu, Fries or Wings prove popular and look well-made but should not take the place of "Crucial cauliflower" that sees the Crucifer lightly fried but perfectly tender in a sticky Korean lacquer with Sesame Seeds, a side of Kimchi and cheffed-up Mayo.

So many dreams I overslept…read more..... I thought this quote I happen to read on a blog (fatfatsheep) seemed so fittingly for this piece. You see, I really wanted the scoop on this hamburger truck I discovered about 2 months ago, before the big glossies and newspapers jumped on the bandwagon. Didn't quite succeed at that, but still, I would like to support the cause. That day, around noon, this burger joint suddenly sprouted in the in the most unlikely places, like a tiny black dot between the jungle of concrete and high rise at the Zuidas. After frying up burgers and causing jungle fever for about 2 1/2 hours the truck just as swiftly disappeared. The guys from Thrill grill move their truck, equipped with a proper charcoal broiler!, to a different location every day (check their website/fb page for the location). So what took me so long to write this review? Well, since I'd decided I didn't want to be a lab rat anymore and partake in the rat race, I've sorta been in between jobs and have adjusted my sleeping habits accordingly. Me and the people working at the Zuidas have in a sense become proverbial antiscians. So while the suits have been slaving away in the office since dawn, working up an appetite, noon is rather early time for me to have lunch or even breakfast for that matter. This was my 3rd effort at getting my hands on this elusive burger. The 1st attempt botched when I noticed the truck for the 1st time but didn't have any cash on me and the nearest ATM was out of order. The 2nd shot failed about 2 weeks ago, when I arrived at Gustav Mahlerplein at 1.30pm, only to see the truck had already closed up. Seriously!? Why close up so early? Does no one have lunch after 1pm anymore? Anyways, I particularly had a hard time waking up that morning due to the party my next-door neighbors had decided to organize the night before. As they were pumping up the volume, I lay there thinking: I don't think I've ever been to party where a Micheal Jackson song didn't make an appearance at one point or another. They really made me work for it, but today, I finally got to try the thriller burger. So how does the this burger stack up? Should it be on continuous repeat like the famous MJ song? I have to say, I was expecting quite a lot from the burger that has the Kranenborg name attached to it. And boy, it delivered. For only €6,95 you have a great burger that has everything a good burger needs. I think for that price, you really can't do much better.The meat was just right- I like the spices and flavorings to be just on the outside of my meat patty and not mixed through. The burger flavor really benefits from the charcoal grilling. All the trimming were there: red onion, tomato, gherkin, bacon, you name it. Really loved the tartness of the sauce specially developed by mister Kranenborg. Maybe the burger could use a stronger bacon flavor, but that would be my only criticism, if any.... By driving around A'dam with the Thriller truck, these guys are healing the world, making it a better place (sic Nik T)

I LOVE food festivals and it's January /winter /cold and not pretty outside, so I thought an indoor…read morefood truck festival wad the perfect way to spend a couple hours. It didn't turn me off that it was in Noord. In fact I was happy to have a reason to go. But it's not super close to the ferry so I suggest bringing your bike. A free festival is always appreciated and I think, for that, you paid more for what's inside. The muntjes (tokens aka "coins") are plastic coins... Much different than the other kind you see at other festivals. Since you can't have a half-token here, they are a bit cheaper at $1.25 (in 2016). But the real food (burgers, ribs, etc) are average 5-7 tokens. The vibe is interesting. Not as exciting but more relaxing. The amount of seating is nice which I feel is usually lacking. It's a smaller festival than Rollende Keukens and smaller than Food Festival Amsterdam. But it still has a nice variety of favorites and new ones we haven't discovered yet. Mr. Brasa had delicious ribs (5stars) with an Asian flavor. Pork Carnitas from Let's Salsa were simply amazing. And the Biological Poffertjes are a favorite of mine but always take forever! Oh and there was a Barber on site! 10 euros for my husband a haircut is the best deal of the festival! I didn't like the location, but it was a nice change for the weekend.

The fries are wedges, but then cut down the middle of the back so they fry up crisp and are actually seasoned including with salt (a rarety in Amsterdam). The star was the double fatboy burger though, two nice sized patties with great texture and flavor oozing hot grease and living up to the name. The real cheddar cheese was nicely melted and the bun was so toasted the edges were crisp. The thick cut bacon was plentiful and brought the salt. Lettuce, tomato and pickle complemented the whole packacge nicely and brought variety to the flavor and texture of the burger. This was a much better burger than I expected, but be warned its for the meat loving American and is sized and seasoned that way. Service was friendly and fast.
