The kids and I have been reading Food Truck Fest by Amanda Penfold and it has quickly become a night time favorite. The kids can recite almost all the words to this rhyming book by heart. So when we were invited to the Cape Cod For Truck Festival, it was a no brainer. The weather looked like it was going to be a bit iffy, but we ate until we were stuffed and got out before the rain came. Who was there?

Shishkaberry’s (VIP Truck!), The Whoo(pie) Wagon, GottaQ, Trolley Dogs, Say cheese!, Binge BBQ, Cape Cod Cannoli’s, Moyzilla, Sheherazad,Da Bomb Truck, Teri-Yummy, Local Scoop, Mediteranian Home Cooking, Wahlburgers, Big T’s, Melt, Travelin Bones, Kebabish, The Salt Block, HullaGood, Chocolate Freaking Bacon, Wolf Pizza, and Macarollin’ 

They also had a craft beer area that hosted beers from Jacks Abby, Springdale, Lord Hobo, Down The Road, Stormalong Cider, Mighty Squirrel, White Birch, Zero Gravity, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, Citizen Cider, Brown’s Brewing, Weyerbacher Brewing, Toppling Goliath, Great Divide Brewing, Epic Brewing, 21st Amendment Brewing, and Uinta Brewing.

What were our favorites? The corn from The Salt Block (bottom right) was amazing, Wahlburgers (middle left) was a big hit with the kids along with pops from The Local Scoop (middle right). My favorite was the brisket sandwich from Binge BBQ (top right).

Whenever I am in New York I loved to go to the Brooklyn Flea. Not only do they have fun finds but they always have great food. This time we tried some new places.

Lonestar empire was our first stop – their slow cooked Texas style brisket looked too good to pass up. It was everything we hoped it would be, a little smokey, super tender…all kinds of deliciousness.

Next stop was Sunday Gravy where they had so many good things to choose from, it was hard to pick a favorite.

It was between the chicken parm, the eggplant parm and the meatball – we went with the meatball and it was super tasty, smothered with red sauce and parmesan cheese on a bun that felt a little like an after thought, but very good over all.

I’m horrible, because the place that we got this from has escaped me, but this sweet corn grilled brown rice ball was delicious! I love finding new places at the flea!

What’s your favorite spot at the flea?

Wow, this summer flew by! And per usual, some posts just get away from you! In July, we went to the Revere National Sand Sculpting Festival. We hopped onto the blue line and headed to the beach. The sculptures were amazing! For more information about the festival, you can check out the website here.

In addition to the great sculptures, the next big draw are the food trucks! We were able to check out some new ones that we don’t normally see.

Teri-Yummy offers teriyaki bowls served with rice and vegetables. You can choose from a variety of meats including: chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu or a combination plate.

After lunch we treated ourselves to a frozen hoagie. The truck opened in 2011 and serves hand scooped ice cream (Chilly Cow) into freshly baked cookies. We had the mint chip with chocolate chip cookies – YUM!! Really great treat on a super hot and sunny day (ok, it’s great even on not sunny days).

As we were heading out, the sopapillas were up and running (they had a rough start). So how could we leave without trying one right? Papi’s Stuffed Sopapillas are hand made to order. Never heard of a sapodilla? It’s a type of fried pastry or quick bread. The deep fried dough puffs up with a hollow pocket in the center, making it perfect for fillings! They offer both sweet and savory sopapillas. We had the bulgogi kimchi fusion – made with spicy Korean rib eye steak, sweet chili cream cheese, and kimchi cabbage and scallion slaw. A little on the messy side, but really quite delicious. I love re-imagined ways to serve my favorite dish, bulgogi!
