| - Gourmet street fare or otherwise known as meals from a truck is nothing new to me. Since living as a New Yorker, it is pretty common sight to see food vendors on the street with their mini food carts or otherwise, food trucks. It's sort of fast food-on-the-go. To me, that's quickie meal. See, eat, and done! Serves the purpose of hunger filling! Golly, it has found its way even in other major American cities and now in Vegas!
Okay, so Sliding Thru as this food truck is aptly named, has gained popularity. This one is crewed by five friends in their twentysomethings. I tried their fare in October 2010. There was a line of customers as I approached the truck. I ordered sliders affordably priced and I was able to see up-close inside their truck how these jolly, fun, easy-going food crew whips up these delicious favorites of mine: sliders. In the truck, it's a mini kitchen with the usual things of the sink, freezer, stainless steel compartments, storage spaces underneath the sink, overhead storage, paper supplies, first aid kit, plastic counter for preparing the food, ice bath compartment, steam table, flat grill with a grease trap drain and faucet for cleaning the grill, deep-fat fryer, fire extinguisher, a grill hood with fan, serving station, station for hot beverage containers, the window where food is served to customers, rubber mats on the floor, a counter with lids to store candies and chips, then the door in the area of the truck driver's section. Well, that's much I saw because it smelled food goodness inside the truck! Yes, a restaurant on wheels!
In no time at all, I got my sliders sssllliiiid thrruuu the truck's side window! See photos of "Pulled Porkie" (a Southern style barbecue pork in that sweet and sour spiced jalapeno barbecue sauce with lotsa grilled caramelized onions), the "Eggplant Caprese" (with great chunks of tomato, eggplant) and a "Mystery Slider" (which is a daily special. The special I got was a burger-bacon-cheese yummminess), they were absolutely the bombilicious!!! Moist, warm, juicy and tasty. Add to that, it is freshly made! Packed in styrofoam box, it had M & M's and a Milky Way chocolate treats for dessert, plus a small pack of wet naps for the messy part of the food adventure. Oh, the crunchy sweet potato fries are my favorite as well as the "Pep Pep" and "Captain's Order". Mind you, it didn't take much minutes to devour them (I wasn't even hungry) but is a testament to how good it is that my heart fell in love all the way to my stomach. I even got to take their picture as they happily, giddily, comically posed for me. These men start work very early in the day, then prepares food for freshness, cooking, serving, and maintaining cleanliness after a day's work, with long hours but they like it! Steven, Juan, Louie, Nick and Ric (Ricardo Guerrero, owner), it's grrrreaaaat, boys!!
