An Evening with Some South Florida Food Trucks
An Evening with Some South Florida Food Trucks My prison photo in front of the Big Ragu truck. @TheBigRaguTruck I wasnt initially planning on eating anything at the Big Ragu food truck. Nothing against them, I just eat Italian food like everyday and was feeling decidedly adventurous. As the picture shows, their truck design popped and definitely drew people inincluding my sister. However, she did not go for a chicken parm sandwich, but instead landed on some jalapeño poppers. Nowjalapeño poppers are not Italian, but hey, its a food truck who cares? I was kindly offered a sample from my sister and was pleasantly surprised to taste one. They are exactly what they sound like: jalapeño peppers with cheese inside, breaded and fried til golden brown. They were a nice warm up and got my taste buds thinking about what they were in the mood for. Main course Mojo Cuban Pork Philly from Mojo on the Go Me posing in front of the Mojo on the Go truck. Watch out for this kid, he crosses his arms. @MojoOnTheGoMia So as I was walking around all these really cool-looking trucks, I noticed that one in particular was cooking up food I was somewhat familiar with, yet they had their own distinct spin. The Mojo on the Go truck had a big menu on the front next to the ordering window and staring back at me was the Mojo Cuban Pork Philly. Now, I love Cuban food and I love Philly Cheesesteaks, so I figured the two would be a match made in heavenand they were. Imagine some of the best Cuban-style slow-cooked pork in a sub roll topped with cheese and potato sticks. It was a beautiful amalgamation that was admittedly hard to keep together (Ill admit I had to go get a fork), but no morsel was left behind. It was obvious these guys cook their pork from scratch because I found a quarter-sized piece of shoulder bone. At first it sucked cause I bit into it and I freaked out for a second, but then I was like, hey, these guys are doing it right, so what if they missed a little something during the sifting process . I know Id go back for more. Dessert- Gozen Berry Frozen Yogurt from Gozen Yogurt The side of the Gozen Yogurt truck. @GozenYogurt These guys are master salesmen. They situated their truck right before the exit to all the trucks so that people couldnt help but stop before leaving for home. After a couple free samples of your standard frozen yogurt fair, I saw a flavor Id never heard of: Gozen Berry. Feeling very curious for a second, I asked what that was and the guy told me it was a combination of a bunch of their berry flavors. I tried a sample and I had my flavor. I figured I gotta have their signature flavor, right? I got a cup full and topped it with (free) gummy bears. The Gozen flavor itself was creamier than a simple berry frozen yogurt and was definitely something I would recommend to someone who is tired of your everyday flavors. The food truck session was very enjoyable even though it rained off and on. These three trucks were lucky enough to attract my pallet, but I know Chad will be gracing you with his feast soon, so keep checking the Uloop pages for more information on the trucks that were there. Most of these food trucks use social media know to let their customers know when and where they will be next, so follow them and get ya food on!
