Big Gay Ice Cream Truck – New York, NY (@biggayicecream)
Tuesday, May 15, 2012 @ 02:05 PM
Congratulations to Big Gay Ice Cream Truck as FoodTruckTalk.com’s Food Truck Of-The-Week!
I was recently visiting Hong Kong and was walking around the outside exhibits of the art museum, when I noticed a familiar site in the distance…. a Mr. Softee ice cream truck! I knew American brands had made their way to Asia but I was suprised to see that Mr. Softee was one of them!
This Hong Kong version of one of my favorite ice creams did not live up to my expectations.
However, one ice cream truck that exceeds my high level of ice cream quality is the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck.
Mr. Softee in Hong Kong
One of the great things about the “special” food trucks is that they often take a very basic concept and find a way to take it to the next level. This is truly the case with the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck as they have put their own twist on soft serve ice cream (get it, “their own twist!!!”).
The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck was founded by Doug Quint (a professional bassoonist) and his partner Bryan Petroff. They have created some incredibly clever ice cream desserts that include a wide variety of toppings, many of which will suprise you.
Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner let’s start with the Gobbler. This ice cream sundae specialty starts with vanilla ice cream sitting on a bed of crushed graham crackers and topped with pumpkin butter, whipped cream and craisins. Hey, for Halloween pass this treat out to the kids in the neighborhood!
THe Big Gay Ice Cream Truck guys have fun with their treats and the names of the treats. Care for a Salty Pimp? It’s a vanilla ice cream cone with dolce de leche, sea salt and then dipped in chocolate. How about the Bea Arthur, vanilla ice cream with dolce de leche and crushed Nilla wafers. I don’t know why this is called Bea Arthur, but I’m sure she would have approved.
The Belgian Slipwich (ice cream sandwich) is vanilla ice cream on a bed of Nutella squeezed between two chocolate cartwheel cookies. Yum!
Ice cream toppings include some unusual items including olive oil with sea salt, Trix cereal, cayenne pepper, wasabi pea dust, Nutella, ginger syrup, elderflower syrup, key lime curd, siracha (a Thai hot sauce) and many more! Check with Doug when you visit the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck and see if he has carmelized bacon on the truck, if he does he will create a very special and unique treat for you!
Great ice cream and a lot of fun that is sure to put a smile on your face and maybe bring back memories of your memories of Mr. Softee, only the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is like Mr. Softee on steroids!

Barcelona On The Go – Orange County, CA (@BrcelonaOntheGo)
Tuesday, April 24, 2012 @ 09:04 PM
Congratulations to Barcelona On The Go as FoodTruckTalk.com’s Food Truck Of-The-Week!
At times it seems like all the great food trucks in Orange County, California are overshadowed by the sheer number of great trucks in Los Angeles. Orange County has it’s own health regulations and requires separate permits from Los Angeles County, as a result the assortment of trucks roaming Orange County is very different from the LA scene.
Barcelona On The Go specializes in Spanish bistro cuisine, including tapas. We recently ran across the Barcelona On the Go food truck in Irvine, CA and ordered up the lead item on the menu board: Churrasco con Chimichurri! For those of you that don’t speak Spanish that means “Premium-Angus Top Sirloin with Chimichurri Sauce”, and it is served over fresh and crisp french fries. We were blown away by this dish, with all of us agreeing that if we were served this item in a fine-dining restaurant we would not be suprised. The Angus beef was cooked to perfection, and was juicy tender. The fries were outstanding. But what really impressed us was the freshness and full flavor of the Chimichurri sauce. Outstanding! We recommend bottling the sauce and selling it, it was that good.
The rest of the Barcelona On The Go menu all use fresh ingredients and are prepared to perfection. Other patrons stopped by in search of Barcelona’s Paella Valencia na (seafood & chicken paella). While this dish is not available every day those that have had it raved about it, and considered it one of the best food truck items that they have every had.
Spanish sandwiches are popular and include the Bocadillo de Pollo con Salsa Romesco (chicken breast with romesco sauce), Bocadillo de Serrano (Serrano ham sandwich) and the Catalan sausage sandwich.
Also available is a great Lentil Soup (with smoked ham), egg/potato frittatas, chicken turnovers and Manchego cheese croquettes.
There is no question you will not only enjoy the food at Barcelona On The Go but also appreciate the freshness of the ingredients and the care used in the preperation of true Spanish cuisine.
For those of you in the Los Angeles area (and beyond) it is worth the drive south for a visit to Barcelona On The Go!

The TK Truck – Los Angeles, CA (@tktruck)
Monday, April 23, 2012 @ 02:04 PM
The TK Truck is carving out it’s niche with a combination of flavors from Armenia, Lebanon with a little bit of latin thrown in.
The foundation of the TK Truck menui is the “Tikkeh Kabob” — steak, chicken, or tofu (vegan) marinated in secret spices, topped with hummus, sumac, onions, parsley, bell peppers and a Mediterranean salsa and then bundled in a fresh tortilla! The Tikkeh Kabobs can be ordered as a burrito or taco. The burrito’s are great as the TK Truck uses a hot press so you end up with a great combination of soft, warm and crispy sensations!
Quickly becoming the most ordered item is the Mother’s Love Quesadilla — made with homemade cheese, dried mint, and homemade pepper, served with cucumbers on the side. Certainly a new and unique flavor combination that is sure to please.
Nareg Artinian and Harout Nazerian are creating food true to their family heritage with fresh, tasty and unique flavors. All of their meats are cooked on an open flame grill (in contrast to the flat griddle most food trucks use) with ingredients that are never frozen or fried!
A fresh taste from a fresh food truck in Los Angeles.

The Greasy Wiener – Los Angeles, CA – Come on, get your fun in a bun! (@thegreasywiener)
Friday, April 20, 2012 @ 01:04 PM
Congratulations to The Greasy Wiener as FoodTruckTalk.com’s Food Truck Of-The-Week!
Is there any better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a GreasyWiener?
The Greasy Wiener serves up New Jersey style hot dogs with West Coast flavors from a multimedia food truck that will entertain you with music, videos and short films. You and your friends may also find yourselves to be part of the broadcast!
Adam “Iggy” Dragotta and Eric Maczko hail from New Jersey and have created a really fun menu and food truck experience. Their New Jersey style deep fried hot dogs have the tell tale “snap” when you bite into them and have a great flavor.
Before we go any further I will let you know that I remember my elementary school education. When spelling the “i” comes before the “e”, at least in most cases! So when typing Greasy Wiener I’m pretty sure I am spelling it correctly. However, the lead menu item at The Greasy Wiener, is the “Greasy Weiner”, or at least that is how it is spelled on their menu. Regardless, it tastes good! It’s a deep fried hot dog topped with mustard, grilled onions, a pickle spear (much easier and neater to eat then relish) with a premium topping choice or bacon wrap, kraut, cheese sauce or chili.
“The Bomb” is a bacon wrapped dog, mustard, chili/cheese, grilled onions with the requisite pickle spear. This is clearly a crowd favorite. Plus it’s fun to say, “give me the bomb”. Maybe not so smart at the airport, but at the Greasy Wiener it is acceptable.
Also available are vegetarian and chicken apple sausages to meet your cravings.
Other truck favorites include a variety of “iggy’s” or “iggs” which are angus beef sliders served on Kings Hawaiian Rolls. The Bacon Bleu Igg’s are two Angus beef sliders topped with grilled onions, bleu cheese, bacon and the Greasy Wienter “special sauce.” Need I say more??
Don’t miss The Greasy Wiener food truck’s curly fries. Available “plain” or with chili, cheese sauce, garlic, Italian parsley, wing sauce, bacon, and/or cheese crumbles. The Buffalo Bleus Curly Fries feature wing sauce along with a bleu cheese crumble, tasty indeed!
All in all, The Greasy Wiener has a lot of great menu choices served up from a multimedia enabled truck. It’s almost like taking your lover to a fine dining restaurant that features strolling musicians. Ok, not really, but the Greasy Wiener will be just as enjoyable.

Wednesday, April 18, 2012 @ 10:04 AM
It’s a date night! 
If you and your sweetheart want to share a romantic dining experience there is no question that lobster should be involved. What could be more intimate than a visit to Washington DC’s Red Hook Lobster Pound’s decked out lobster mobile? We have to be honest, the wine list is not extensive, nor does it exist, but your sweetie will certainly be pleased with either Maine Root soda or homemade lemonade as the beverage of choice!
The Red Hook Lobster Pound menu is pretty simple. Lobester Roll served either Maine-style (mayo based) or Connecticut-style (butter drizzled). For some variety you can also opt for the Shrimp Rolls, also serverd in either style. The simplicity of the menu will allow you and your loved one to spend more time staring into each other’s eye’s lovingly.
For those of you with larger appetites your lobster or shrimp roll can up upgraded into a multi-course meal with the addition of Cape Cod chips and a Maine Root soda.
Red Hook Lobster Pound stands true to authentic Lobster Rolls by using big chunks of lobster knuckle meat with just a coating of mayo, a bit of chopped celery, lemon juice, salt and pepper. It is served on a buttery hot dog type roll with scallions and paprika as a garnish. It’s combination of flavors and freshness is sure to make you a regular!
Be prepared to stand in line for a bit (passing the maitre’d some cash to get to the head of the line doesn’t seem to work) as the Red Hook Lobster Pound is a popular place. They had almost 2000 Twitter followers before they even hit the street for the first time, and currently are up around 12,000!
