Review: FTF
So this past Friday I attended my 1st Food Truck Friday event. Although it rained earlier in the day, the weather turned out to be a great incentive to head out to the event. I only got a chance to patron 2 of the 17 participating trucks but I definitely found a favorite.
Cha Cha Chow is a food truck serving up Latin inspired fare. I decided to try the Walking Taco which consisted of two substantial pieces of uniquely breaded chicken tenders, red cabbage lime slaw, and Cha Cha Sauce which was all stuffed inside a nicely toasted flour tortilla. The "walking" aspect of the taco came in when they rolled the taco into a cone shape and then placed it inside hardened corn husks for easy transportation! I have never tasted anything like this before. The tenders were crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. The cabbage added just the right amount of freshness while the amazing sauce held its own amongst the other ingredients. The Walking taco is so filling that it could easily be a meal by itself. I think the folks over at Cha Cha Chow have hit it out of the park, or should I say food truck, with this one. This was easily the best food truck experience I've had to date!

Food Truck Friday
Today marks the 3rd monthly Food Truck Friday. FTF is held once a month during the summer and early Fall months. It is an event hosted by Sauce Magazine where numerous food trucks convene in Tower Grove Park offering up various delectable eats. This will be my first time attending FTF and of course I'm excited! I've had limited opportunities to engage in the phenomena that are food trucks, so attending this event is will be a mission accomplished. There will be 17 of some of St. Louis' best food trucks participating. So if you see me 2 fisting a slice from Pi and a cupcake from Sarah's don't be alarmed, come say hi!
