Pulled Pork Paradise

After Tuesday's massive disappointment, I needed some redemption so I made another stop in my food truck journey. I didn't have lunch plans thursday, and I saw a line at a new truck... sold! I was a little nervous to try this one, it was an old Chevy pickup with a food prep station welded in to the back, but again- it had a line- so it must be good. I also heard the guy in the red shirt and safari hat (pic below) say that their bbq "is better than the stuff from Texas", so naturally I was intrigued!

I sprung for the pulled pork with all 3 sauces (I couldn't pick just one!) and topped it off with some habanero pepper sauce and cole slaw. 

Ok.... now how do I eat it?!

I dug into the pork and slaw mountain, found the bottom bun {which was surprisingly still in tact} and went to town. After I inhaled the sandwich {ooh'ing and aah'ing- I'm sure my co-workers were annoyed}, there was still enough left over in the paper tray to share with my office mates. I definitely got my money's worth for $8. The sandwich was a perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and salty- the pork was really tender and the NY style slaw added a good vinegar taste that helped tone down the spice from the 3 sauces and habanero.

Overall assessment- Top 5 favorite! I will definitely be back. Better than Texas? Meh. And just like the old adage goes- Never judge a book by it's cover or a wine by it's label (that's not old, I just made it up right now), I won't judge the truck by it's set up.

Oh- and my favorite part about the truck is the guy's story. After I got back to the office, I went on their website and read about how they got their start. I'm happy to support them any day! Read about it here.

I'm about to head down to the pool... Zeke and Richard went on a 30something mile bike ride in the Virginia hills. Since I wasn't allowed to go because I'm slow decided to sit this one out, I'm going to drink boxed wine out of a sippy cup and get a sunburn. Our pool is pretty lame, we can't play music or openly indulge in adult beverages, but of course I find ways around it ;) I'm going to close my eyes, put my headphones in, and pretend that I'm here-

Happy Saturday from imaginary Koh Samui
