While still stomping around Tucson, my work colleagues and I had a weekly lunch routine. Fend For…read moreYourself Monday, Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Chipotle Thursday, and Random Restaurant Friday...
Why do I tell you this...?
Because I finally have replacement for Wings Wednesday, and it's Food Truck Wednesday's!
Jacksonville is doing it right, and I'm glad someone had the idea. Hopefully this takes off...! I'd hate to have something so great, and so local, ruined because no one knows about it.
There were only two Food Trucks holding it down at the location: BlackHound Bar-B-Q and The Waffle Wagon.
I jumped at the chance to have their Chicken and Waffles, and I must say I am impressed. The best I've had in a good while... and I have a few places under my belt (Lo-Lo's in Phoenix, May's Counter in Tucson, and The Red Door in Little Rock.) The chicken was lightly breaded, the waffles fluffy, sweet with a syrup that I can't place, and a little spice from what I believe to be Sriacha. It was so delicious, because the flavors melded together perfectly. The Chicken and Waffles was their signature dish, it came with a $10 price tag, and it was so incredibly worth it. There were other options, and they change daily. Let's just say I'll be back for the "Pig In A Blanket."
(I just recently heard about the Waffle Wagon a week ago. I've been waiting to find them within close proximity for lunch, and I am glad I found them at this small venue.)
As for BlackHound, I was flying solo, and not feeling like a fat kid. So next time around I'll give them a whirl, and then update the ol' review.
Jacksonville has the right idea, and hopefully the local populace gets on board. I'd hate to see something so awesome fail because people just don't know.
