Okie dokie kids, I’m going to do one more quick write-up before taking off to spend the weekend in Portland.  I haven’t hopped on the smart phone bandwagon yet so I’m going to be largely incommunicado, except perhaps for random, stream of consciousness text posts to my Facebook page.  Before I go foraging for exotic foodstuffs […]

The only place on the truck where the name & logo are easily visibleTo be honest, my loved ones don’t understand my fixation with truck food.  Especially my girlfriend.  I guess that’s fair, since I don’t really understand their desire to eat at places like Taco Bell.  So, I usually hit up trucks alone or […]
