Bruges, obviously

Confronted with a block of food trucks, we followed protocol, walking from end to end, but it was inevitable that we would return to the first truck, at the corner of Clark and Madison, Bruges Brothers.

Oxtail poutine - Kathryn's choice.   Braised Oxtail Poutine, our red wine and thyme braised oxtail, cheddar curds, gravy and crisp leeks.  

Eric just can't get over the Croque Madame.  Off-bone ham, fondue, dijonnaise, sunnyside egg, buttered breadcrumbs

Bop Bar - a new truck on the odyssey

The rice bowl with pork was the winner on Thursday, June 2.   Fine weather allowed dining under trees on the patio north of the HCSC building - the food truck odyssey is into the summer season!

Bob Bar brought Korean food to Columbus Drive

Vegetable Bim Bop

Fat Pickle added to the list

This doesn't often happen - agreement on a dish.  Both trekkers chose the turkey pastrami sandwich at The Fat Pickle.  We shared the fries.  Tempting to get more, but we've learned that lesson.  The sister truck to The Fat Shallot, another favorite, was parked outside the office on Randolph Street.

Da Lobsta

An encore on a cold and windy Thursday.

Pork Chop Truck and The Slide Ride

Piko Street Kitchen (252 days later)

This odyssey has been going for a while and the gap between visits to Piko Street Kitchen was long.   On Friday, April 15 we sampled Pico Street Kitchen at Daley Plaza and it was 252 days since our first taste of Pico Street on Sept. 4, 2015.   (Historians dispute the date of the first food truck stop but the initial post was a picture of food from The Jibarito Stop on Wednesday, June 24, 2015.)

Friday?   Piko Rice Bowl (rice topped with chicken, ribeye, porkbelly and veggies).  Topped with a fried egg, naturally.

On Friday, Piko Street joined a grand circle of food trucks as part of city sponsored Food Truck Fest. There was live music and long lines.  There were opportunities to add new trucks to our record such as The Slide Ride parked next to Piko Street but the siren of the Rice Bowl was too powerful...

Jerk. Modern Jamaican Grill

The trekkers found Jerk at Cityfront Plaza on April 1.  In addition to speedy service on a chilly, drippy day, we had great spicy chicken.   "Grilled boneless skinless chicken marinated in our Rude Boy Jerk.  Marinade then cooked to perfection, chopped and served on Jamaican hard dough bread with your choice of Rude Girl, BBQ, and Cilantro Aioli pon di side."
