DADDY'S BONETOWN BURGERS FOOD TRUCK - BOSTON, MA

Image
Who doesn�t love a good old fashioned annual craft fair? It�s one of the only chances you get in life to stock up on homemade pot holders, amateur watercolor paintings, and jewelry made of rocks wrapped in sterling silver- all at the same time! Time to clear out your bank account! Then there�s always the fun game of trying to avoid eye contact with all the handmade clothing vendors peddling what looks like stitched together scraps of discount fabric from Joanne�s. So after you�ve walked the four or five aisles of homemade soap and windchimes, you may start to wonder why you didn�t just spend your Saturday morning at home watching cartoons instead of early Christmas shopping for your weird aunt. But then you smell something delicious and suddenly going to the local craft fair was the best decision you made all week. not exactly what i was expecting My lack of regret came courtesy of Daddy's Bonetown Burgers food truck.There was a block of trucks lined up, so I decided to make my pic...

FROZEN HOAGIES SWEET SHOP

FROZEN HOAGIES  SWEET SHOP in Somerville, MA This is a place i've been dying to get to since I heard about it. I mean, they make their own ice-cream cookie sandwiches! Amongst my memories of high school, the ones that haven't been necessarily repressed, are Chip-whiches. Two soft chocolate chip cookies clamped down on either side of a vanilla ice cream patty. This was my treat of choice quite often. I've had decent ones at restaurants in the years since, but a place where that's their SPECIALITY? We'll see. So the deal is: you choose your cookies, and you choose your 2 scoops of ice cream, and they slap it all together for you. They had about 5 or 6 cookies on hand to choose from (not as impressive as the over-all list on the website). No matter, I want to keep it relatively traditional for the first go. I decided on a chocolate chip cookie and a brownie cookie. Next best thing to a chip-wich is a brownie sunday, no way could this turn out bad. For ice cream I went ...

Vulgar Display of Poutine Food Truck!

I�m not going to lie. I attended the event described in the above flier because of the two top billed acts. I knew two things: it was to support the former Off With Their Heads Drummer�s new food truck venture, and that I�d be getting drunk listening to music I love. I didn�t even know what the hell a �Pop-up� was. I was excited to see the play on the Pantera album �Vulgar Display of Power.� AND I got deliciously more than I bargained for. After a few whiskeys, I began to wonder when the food truck (�round back, I assumed) would be open for business. The bartender explained that all I had to do is put in an order, and my poutine would be brought to me. Glorious. After looking over the menu, it wasn�t an easy choice. I�m a poutine snob. I�ve had the good, the bad, and the mediocre. I�ve had poutine IN Canada. I almost went for traditional �The Regular� poutine. And though I�m sure it would have been phenomenal, I�m happy I didn�t. Once I saw the word PASTRAMI, there was no stopping me. ...
