I'm blown away each day by what a huge variety of street food is available in Calgary. This time, I was unable to locate a location close to me online, so I made my way to a local eatery. What did I spy with my little eye on the way? If you haven't guessed the answer by now, I cry for you.
I had never heard nor seen Braizen before. A smaller than usual food truck was explained by the fact that the grub is pre-prepared. I am not one to judge in advance, so I decided to try out the food. Ummm wow. No wonder it's prepared in advance. Wanna try to get cumin rubbed lamb or short ribs to order from a food truck that doesn't have full kitchen equipment to cook it properly?
I decided to dive into the adobo short ribs with cranberry buttermilk slaw. The menu actually lists them as "Adobe short ribs" however, I believe that is a misprint as I was unable to open my Adobe files or create other pdfs with the food. Sounds fancy. Tastes better. The short ribs were very nice. Fresh considering they were cooked earlier and they had just enough heat. The slaw was a unique take on traditional coleslaw and was very good. It wasn't a huge portion, but big enough considering the quality of the meat and meal in general to be worth $9 once in a while when I want some quality street food.
