I keep cursing my husband as he often does work up by the brick and mortar location of Holy Smoke…read moreand will get to eat there for lunch. Imagine my happiness as I strolled outside to see the Holy Smoke BBQ truck. FINALLY here was my chance and the line wasn't enormous yet. Amazing meaty smells wafted at me as I waited to give my order, I told the guy operating the till that his truck smelled wonderful. I think I scared him slightly. I got the pulled pork meal, all the meals come with your choice of side: potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, but I opted for the corn bread. They were super quick with doling out the orders, once you receive it you can shimmy three steps to the left and put on all the BBQ sauces. I swear there are at least 15 options of sauces ranging from spicy to sweet and even some smoky sauces were available. I lathered up my pulled pork bun and found somewhere to sit and eat. I was not disappointed in all the hype I have heard of Holy Smoke from my husband. Glad to see the food truck incarnation holds up to the restaurant. Moist delicious pork, great coleslaw topping on the bun (maybe don't order coleslaw as your side), the sauces I had donned were flavorful and that corn bread. I could write a sonnet about that corn bread. As I ate it, I was ashamed I had baked corn bread the week before as it was an insult to this immaculate creation of corn and flour. Please come again to FMC, Holy Smoke!

These guys were set up outside the Flames game the other night. While I was waiting for my dad to…read moreshow up with my ticket I decided to give these guys a shot as a change from the usual pocket dog I get during a game. From the selection I chose the "Hot Mess". Something with a little heat was just what I was looking for. The sandwich was very delicious. It could have been a little more spicy, but the flavours were great either way. What I didn't like here was the wait. Upon ordering I was told it would be about 7 minutes. While I like the fact that they're making everything fresh, when I'm at a food truck expect my meal to be served up quickly.

My bf and I escaped from our offices at lunch today to walk to Central Memorial Park, partly…read morebecause it was the first sunny day in weeks, and partly because twitter told me there would be a congregation of food trucks setting up around 11:30. I love cheese, so naturally, I was eager to check out this new food truck. We're not big fans of waiting in lines, so we arrived right at 11:30 and were served immediately. I ordered the mac'n'cheese sandwich with pulled pork and bf ordered the hot mess. The total came to $18 (no drinks or sides). Both sandwiches were amazing. The mac'n'cheese was creamy, the pulled pork was smoky, and the bread was a bit sweet. And of course there was some yummy cheese inside to hold it all together. The hot mess was just spicy enough. I would guess that extreme spice combined with cheese might not be that great. There was yummy seasoned ground beef, banana peppers, and a fried egg inside too. Fried to perfection - not so runny that you lose some yolk, but runny enough to drip onto the rest of the sandwich. If the sandwiches were $5 instead of $9, I would be 20 lbs heavier and looking for an apartment next to Cheezy Bizness HQ. It's probably a good thing the cost puts them in the "treat yo' self" category rather than an every day lunch category.

Soul Kitchen BBQ gave me my first taste of Collard Greens and I'm hooked. When ever they show up,…read morethat's the one thing, for sure, that I'm going order. I have nothing to compare this against since I haven't found Collards anywhere else in my gastronomic travels in Calgary. The brisket and pork are tasty. They don't compare with what I've had in East Texas, but then nothing I've had in Calgary comes close to that. Service is quick and prices are reasonable. My only quibble? This is a food truck, please post your prices INCLUDING the GST like most of the other trucks in Calgary.

I'm not sure about how "authentic" the jerk chicken is, it tasted more like a sweet & sour sauce to us, but regardless it was awesome. The plantains were great, and the rice was good too!

This is the best food truck I have been to so far in Calgary. You get jerk chicken, which is a…read morechopped up chicken quarter, cooked jerk style, then covered in hot sauce. The chicken was cooked well with lots of spice and flavour. You also get your choice of two sides, I had fried plantains and rice and peas. Both sides were very good. The rice and peas are cooked in coconut milk, so they are rich with a mild flavour that is a good juxtaposition for the spicy chicken. The portion size is also very generous, unlike some other food trucks.

Lil' Truck on the Prairie is everything. I cannot adequately express how enamoured I am with them…read morebut I'll try. We hired Lil' Truck to cater our wedding and they're food was the one thing that kept us from eloping during our wedding planning experience. They hand crafted a menu to suit us specifically and it was the number one thing we bragged about to friends before the event and after. They were able to meet every single dietary restriction but not only that, they did it well. The vegan/vegetarian options were arguably the best on the menu which is rare and hard to accomplish especially when it comes to a big event (and it wasn't pasta!). When I say that I also want to highlight how good their meat mains were too. All the carnivores where just as satisfied as the vegans, which is no small feat. They thought of absolutely everything when planning our wedding and made us feel more like friends than clients. I also appreciated their focus on local and sustainable food sources but while also taking into consideration our (meagre) budget. They made all our food dreams come true. They served our 175 guests cocktail hour, dinner, dessert, AND midnight snack for less per person than an average prime rib dinner. While making each aspect of the event accessable and enjoyable to absolutely all dietary choices, minimizing waste, and focusing on local and sustainable food sources. What more could you possibly ask for?

Rice, pickled vegetable , imitation crab meat, smoke salmon wrapped in a white soft tortilla. So why I gave it two stars. I did find it a bit nasty gross. Too much sauce. Mine was drenched in sauce. The rice was not evenly spread. Most of it was at one end of the burrito. And the same goes for the smoke salmon and imitation crab meat. Portion wise was good. This is not a poke burrito. Also everyone knows California roll comes with avocado. Oh well. Too much sauce made it very nasty. Don't think I will order this again.

From the second I saw the black BentoBurrito truck sporting asian style burritos in the parking lot of Market on Macleod, my inner hipster did its happy dance. (Which ironically, isn't a very hipster thing to do.) BentoBurrito takes all the food items you'd find in a Bento Box and wraps it up with a burrito shell into one big mass of love. I could be wrong about this, but I think Bento Boxes are typically a Japanese thing, but BentoBurrito uses ingredient from all over Asia and americanized sushi, serving up items like the Chiki-Rito (Coconut chicken in a peanut sate) and the Cali-rito (kind of like a California Roll but in burrito form.) I've seen other sushi/burrito places (like Sushiritto in San Francisco http://www.yelp.ca/biz/sushirrito-san-francisco?osq=sushirito) but BentoBurrito does it a a little better. Instead of using the Nori as the burrito skin, they just just use a regular flour tortilla and put Nori flakes on the inside to give you the flavour. Much easier to hold, eat, and a little closer to a burritto than mowing on a gigantic sushi roll that hasn't been chopped. They'll fill you up with healthy and tasty ingredients for under $10. Hopefully you'll get a chance to check them out before next summer.
