  • Maybe picking what could prove to be the hottest day of the year wasn't the best choice lunch breaks to trek across the city's cement core in search of pork satisfaction. But whatever, I wanted smoked meat and I was determined to get it. Once we got down to Front and Bay, today's locale for foodtruckery, Hogtown Smoke was competing with Per Se for my business. Hogtown had a large group lingering either waiting in line to order or to pick up their grub. I went with the numbers because I had in fact gone down there for Hogtown and despite my mounting hunger, I was willing to wait. I got the Sliders three ways: pulled pork, brisket and patron infused chicken (with slaw, beans and cornbread). I'm not entirely sure how long it took to get my order but standing out on the pavement with the roar of the generators, heavy construction across the street, with the sun beating down on my sweaty back, it seemed like a really long time... somewhere in the vicinity of 15-20 minutes which seemed unreasonable. Once I dug in (in the cool embrace of air conditioning) I was pleased though. The chicken was really flavourful, especially with the mango patron bbq sauce, the pork was good but seemed a little dry, I don't think I put enough sauce on it. The brisket, with the slaw on the sandwich was solid. However, none of the three blew me away. Were my expectations too high? I would have preferred something more "bready" in the bun department, the francese roll seemed like a mismatch in texture. The purple coleslaw was tangy and crunchy but wasn't a huge stand out but when is it ever? The little muffin of cornbread was nice, I took to dunking bits of it in bbq sauce. The beans were awesome! I'd go back with a soup bowl in hand to partake in those again. There was definitely no Barque, or Phil's BBQ quality going on here, but I think they may still be trying to figure out their formula. Mobile food has unique challenges, I'm sure, and since the trend is still developing here, I'll be patient, and be a supportive customer when these folks truck into my parts of town. I might be more inclined to go with the shorter line though, as I've been learning that a long line doesn't necessarily mean a quality experience. Sheep no more!
