| - I have to say, when I first thought of food from a truck I imagined tasteless burritos or subpar sandwich fare. My first encounter with Slider Truck was outside Retro Bakery during the Johnny Cupcakes tour. While I waited in line for four hours, hot and famished, I ignored Slider Truck on shear principle. Really? Those people must be desperate to be eating food from a truck that just rolls on up and throws food out a window. Don't they see the 7-11 right here? At least with a 7-11 hot dog your expectations are so low it's hard for them not to be met... but I digress. Slider Truck, at first glance, I thought you were a poor excuse for wetting my taste buds. And now I'm here to publically admit how very, very wrong I was.
I can now proudly say I am not only a Slider Truck stalker, but an addict. Drug of choice? Pulled Porkie slider with a sweet potato after shock. I'm actually not a big fan of burgers in general, so I leave the rest of the sliders to my husband to explore (he's tried them all and he, too, is now an addict). But the Porkies? Holy shit. I can't remember a time I tasted pork so flavorful that just a light drizzle of BBQ sauce is all that's necessary to make them sing praises in my mouth. (They normally come with some caramelized jalapeno- but I like to keep it simple.) The buns are light, but toasted to perfection and each mouthful is truly scrumptious. And as if that weren't enough to make your stomach growl for an encore--there's the sweet potato fries. To date, the best sweet potato fries I have EVER tasted. Crisp, light, sweet with a dusting of cinnamon and sugar (although, I know Ric--the slider truck guy--is more than happy to dust with salt if you so prefer). You know you have a good thing when I'd rather find the Slider Truck for date night than hit up some restaurant...and the fries--great to stuff in your purse for the movie-shhh! And if it matters, my 8.5 month old also thoroughly enjoys both the Porkies and fries. He had his first taste last night and screamed for more long after I'd polished off the last bite.
The insanely delectable sliders can only be made better by the uber-friendly owner, Ric, who clearly pours his heart and soul into his business. Nice guy, great food, excellent business concept- what's there not to love?
Would I recommend you stalking the Slider Truck? Absolutely. Is it worth all the hype? Absolutely. Am I already craving more sliders? You betcha!
