Now, after a while, I can honestly give to Pomms' 4 stars! The potatoes are organic and fresh, made under your eyes and also the sauces (mayo, ketchup and peanut butter) are good! The staff is friendly and there are some spots where you can sit included a few wooden swings. Just in front of Bijnkoorf, perfect for a pit stop during a walk or a shopping tour! I like it! :)

We did bring in our own food for him but they're luckily cool with that and for ourselves we bought some drinks, a duck burger, veggie stew, lamb burger, twister crisp, brownie and ice cream and some take home treats from arzu bakt and madam cocos. My personal favourites: arzu's salted caramel and pecan bar and madam's ginger and chilli cocos balls. Wasn't really feeling all that hungry any more by the time we got here, otherwise I would have tried the veggie quesedilla from the tortilla truck. Might go back over the weekend just to try it, and hey, the bike ride over already justifies the eating right?? As far as the veggie stew and twister crisp: at €4,50 and €2,00 they were definitely worth the money. Delicious, somewhat nutritious and definitely not way overpriced like some other things... And as for the meat stuff, hopefully le husband will write his review soon!

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)

My bf and I arrived in Amsterdam on June 1st and were lucky enough to catch the last day of the…read moreRollende Keukens 2014 food truck festival at the Westerpark! It was an easy bus ride from Amsterdam Centraal, and we weren't exactly sure where to go after getting off the bus, but then we just followed to crowd to... the most amazing food truck festival ever!! Well, I've never actually been to one, but this one was pretty good for my first experience. And I'm so glad we caught the last day of it, as it only happens in Amsterdam once a year. There were lots of people, ample sunshine, bands playing live music, and of course, plenty of trucks serving all kinds of food. We were almost paralyzed in awe with all the food selections and couldn't decide which stands to hit up first--everything looked so amazing! What struck me the most was that a lot of the food trucks appeared to be quite gourmet and were not just your average hot dog and burger stand. The food trucks (AKA "rolling kitchens") were also quite fancy and quirky. One of them looked like a giant pot! Completely different from food trucks you see on the streets of Los Angeles, where it's more function and food over creativity and presentation. At first, I was thinking we should try to go for Dutch food, as we were tourists in Amsterdam, but finally the foodies in us overruled, and we just went for what looked GOOD. We first hit up De Appelchiller for some fresh lemonade that came out of a garden hose. Their truck was cutely decorated in a country cottage theme, and they even had a carousel next to it for the kiddies to ride. They had an old-fashioned apple corer for the kids to peel their own apples by hand cranking, too. The Jamaican food looked delicious, but the line was way too long, and we didn't want to wait, so we didn't get any. But we did have: - Yummy BBQ spare ribs from Smokey Goodness. - The BEST burger we've ever tasted in our lives from The Beef Chief (the Classic Cheese beef burger on a lovely toasted brioche bun). - Some strange sausage and egg things on round toast from the French cuisine truck. Had no clue what they were called, so we just pointed to them on the counter to order. They were pretty tasty. - A pinkish Dutch rhurbarb spirit that was sweet and tasty. - A mediocre gigantic freshly made stroop waffel. This was the last thing we stood in line for, and I was so excited, because I LOVE stroop waffels... but this thing was a bit soft and mushy and not as chewy as I would have liked. Perhaps because it needed to set up a bit for the caramel to cool down? Dunno. I was a bit too impatient and chowed it down while it was still warm. And of course, we drank beer! Unfortunately, since we don't know Dutch, we didn't realize that there was a deposit per cup, and we left our first cups sitting on a table at the Smokey Goodness truck and then had to pay extra for fresh glasses when getting rhubarb spirits. I guess the rules and regulations were clearly written out on giant signs above each bar, but we didn't know what they said because there was nothing written in English. So hold onto your cups, folks! All-in-all, this was an amazing event with some awesome food. Highly recommended if you are a foodie and can catch this event in Amsterdam next year!

Attended on Friday after work and Saturday right when it opened at 1:00 pm. Enjoyed it both times,…read morebut the experience was different each time. Friday evening the event was quite full so you needed to plan strategically to make sure you weren't waiting in lines without something to eat or drink. I did see some folks with their own beers or wine. This may be a great strategy to follow as the beer tents are a bit spread out and very popular! Going Saturday right when it opened afforded a smaller crowd, but things were not really fired up yet. It was nice to be able to walk right up and order what you wanted and it was a bit easier to see all the different stands. So, you'll have to decide which way might be right for you. There are some carnival rides and several bands playing all different kinds of music throughout the venue. For those that know about State Fairs, it feels like a kind of State Fair atmosphere, without the rodeo, livestock judging or the deep fried butter... As far as the food goes, there is something for all tastes from vegetarian gyros to a full rack of ribs to sushi and everything in between. While nothing was out of this world, it was a good mix of different street food and it was all pretty tasty. This event seemed less formal than other food festivals I have been to in Amsterdam, but it was just as fun! The laid back atmosphere is great! I sampled pulled pork, curry, Korean tacos, Mexican burritos, duck, a hamburger, fries, mini-donuts and crepes. All was tasty and with the different bands playing, really made both times I attended a lot of fun. Another event I'm looking forward to attending next year!
