Food truck jamboree

Last night in San Diego, we went to the parking lot of a wine warehouse/bar, 57 Degrees, to sample the wares of about 15 food trucks.

On Thursday, out for a stroll on our first night in town, we walked past the Farm Truck, coming in at the end of the day to the restaurant it operates out of, and one of the guys told us about the jamboree.

The Farm Truck guy told us about their sliders, and that’s the first thing I tried. Local beef, caramelized onions (they ran out of onions after me), grainy mustard, Brie & argula, on a pretty ordinary white bun, toasted (they called it Hawaiian bread). I went inside and bought a beer, then ordered pierogis to go with. I liked them the best, even though the outsides were a little thick. At 8:30 – almost closing time; things were to shut down at 9:00, and some of the vendors were selling out – I got an order of the Farm Truck’s coconut rice pudding. Good, but not as good as mine.
