Recent food and drink noms and not-so-noms.
Humunga Kawabunga from Waitiki, $14.99. Half pound grilled burger topped with 4 bacon strips, 2 cheddar slices, 2 fried eggs, onion rings & chipotle bbq sauce, all between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. My nephew's friend, Frank, ate the entire thing including the fries.
Shrimp Po' Boy from Cityfish, $12. The cajuny sauce makes it.
Tuna Kobachi from 310 Lakeside, $14. Diced ahi tuna seasoned with seven spice and sesame. Served on a bed of cucumbers accompanied by wasabi, soy and ginger.
Smoked Salmon from 310 Lakeside, $15. Fresh filet of salmon smoked in-house served with a chive anchovy remoulade and Lavosh crackers. First bite and my boyfriend almost puked which was ok because I finished the entire thing.
Funny pizza dude on Kirkman Rd.
Corned Beef Hash and 2 eggs over easy with a side of Hollandaise (my twist) from Dexters, $10. Nom, nom, and more nom.
Local corn on the cob with fresh mayo and spicy parm and local pork skewers from Big Wheel
Provisions Food Truck, $10. Corn was insanely good.
Abita Strawberry from Cityfish. $4.50? New fave.
Royal Red Shrimp with some sweet Thai chili sauce and deviled eggs from Big Wheel Provisions Food Truck. $11. The sauce on shrimp was amazing, the shrimp not so much. I actually hoped I didn't end up sick. The deviled eggs are my favorite, ever.
Fried Oreos from Red Eye BBQ Truck, $5. I thought the Oreo would be crunchy on the inside but instead it absorbs the moisture from the batter. It ends up soft like cake and the filling melts like icing.
Crispy pork belly sliders and pastrami fries with thousand island dipping sauce from Big Wheel Provisions Food Truck, $9. Sliders were great. The sauce for the fries didn't taste to thousand island like, but was still delicious.
Grilled Eggplant Sandwich with roasted tomato, spinach, goat cheese and balsamic on Ciabatta from Downtown Pourhouse, $9. This reminded me that I don't like eggplant very much but every thing else about it was fantabulous.
Sesame Seared Tuna Sashimi with wonton basket, wakame, wasabi cream and soy vinaigrette from Cafe Tu Tu Tango, $10.
Baby Guiness. XO CafePatron and Baileys from Cityfish, $6.
Smoked Fish Dip from Rusty's Seafood and Oyster Bar, $5.99. Rusty's secret recipe my ass. No smoke flavor and tastes like canned tuna and Miracle Whip.
Seared Pork Belly Bahn Mi from Big Wheel Provisions Food Truck, $8. 9 on the nom meter.
The 420 Burger from The Crooked Spoon Truck, $8. Angus burger with candied bacon, pineapple relish, honey whole grain mustard aioli, and a crispy fried onion ring. Um...I think you could put candied bacon on dirt and it would taste good.
The Fairbanks Cuban from Shipyard Emporium, $9. Thin sliced house roasted pork loin, swiss, housemade pickles, mayo and dijon, hot pressed on a baguette. I'm partial to anything with housemade pickles.
