| - I love good local food, and I especially love food carts run by scrappy young entrepreneurs who have such a passion for good food that they drag a cart or truck around to events to share their wares. This past weekend, I came across a new favorite- The Burgh Bites Cart.
We came across these guys at Night Market V when I overheard someone say there was a food cart with tater tots. DING! At the top of my potato hierarchy (my list of favorite fried potato products) the creme de la creme- tater tots. We made a bee line in the direction of this magical tater tot cart, and I was not disappointed.
First off, you may have heard of this cart if you've ever been in Shady Side on a late night. Legend has it that a magical food cart appears on the streets of Shady Side when the sun sets, rising like Shangri-La or Brigadoon from the mist, to sell tater tots to weary bar travelers. Drinkers still tell stories of a tater tot cart that can only be found after a few adult beverages, and then is gone when the sun rises. I have now confirmed that this mysterious cart is indeed the Burgh Bites Cart.
We started with the Bucco Tots- a huge load of tater tots topped with their own pulled pork, smothered in BBQ sauce and topped with onions and homemade pickles. The pork was lightly seasoned and moist, the sauce had a nice bite, and the taters were gloriously fried to perfection. Can I get a hallelujah!
It was so good, that later that evening, I went back for more. This time, I had Loaded Tots- another boatload of taters, this time smothered in chili and topped with cheese sauce. OMG good, and the chili had a nice mix of big beans and ground beef that wasn't too spicy.
If I died that night (and there was a good chance of cardiac arrest after eating 2lbs of tater tots), I would have died happy, floating up on cherub wings to the afterlife, where angels sit on tater tot clouds, ketchup flows from a waterfall, and a lake of chili waits for me to take a dip... sorry, I spaced out for a second.
The other food flowing from this cart looked awesome as well, like the Falafeliscious sandwich (a falafel patty on a bun with pineapple sauce and banana peppers), smothered hot dogs, and lots more like their homemade pickles or mac n cheese. Wash it down with a refreshing Watermelon Fresca and you'll see why this i my current favorite food truck.
Keep an eye on the Burgh Bites Cart Facebook page for where they are next and see what else they are cooking up-- and get your tots on!
