I'm back, and in the process of revamping my blog! And, I have to admit, I have a love affair. It's the food trucks here in Calgary--I can't get enough of them! It's not just about the food, or the thrill of the hunt. It's about the people that run them. I have met some amazing people, who incidentally, make some damn amazing food.
We've got Jody from JoJo's BBQ--she is the Queen of BBQ, no lies. Who doesn't love crispy corn fritters, made from scratch, hot from the fryer? Or her BBQ-tine? An amazing combination of slow smoked and BBQ'd meat piled high on top of fries, with cheese and gravy. Especially good with a shot of her homemade BBQ sauce and her homemade pickled onions.
For the meat lover in all of us, we have Alley Burger. What started out as a late-night, find them in the alley behind Charcut if you're lucky kinda deal, has turned out to be a phenomenal business. The staff are amazing, especially Mike who runs the truck. The "Alley Burger" is to die for...not for the vegan hearted, that's for sure. And their poutine is just pure wholesome comfort food. Love it.
As far as comfort goes, nothing beats grilled cheese and tomato soup. But Nicole from Cheezy Bizness takes it to a whole new creative level, with not only cheese fillings, but pulled pork with pineapple, or "The Mess", which lives up to its name. Must be the fried egg inside... Her tomato soup should be consumed by the pot full, seriously. There is nothing like it, and it just takes you right in! Love it! Great people, great comfort food.
The food trucks keep popping up all through Calgary. There's an app for that, providing you with a detailed list of the trucks, as well as a map to foodie heaven! We've got authentic Mexican food from Compadres, Shawarma from YYC Shawarma, and so many more! Just google search "Calgary Food Trucks", and they will all pop up!
Will be back tomorrow with exciting news that involves the food trucks, so stay tuned! Cheers!
