| - YAYYYYYYY!! Finally the Alley burger food truck meets me halfway! I have them on Facebook so when I saw they were going to be at Shaw Barlow at dinner time, I was ecstatic because I work very close by! They were aiming to be there at 5 so I lounged around for a half hour after work just so I could FINALLY give this popular food truck a try. Spence works close by as well so he swang by to pick me up and we headed to the back entrance of Shaw on Barlow. As we were slowly driving looking for the food truck, we finally spotted it all lonesome. I was surprised nobody was there but guess they were just waiting for me?? ;) haha but really, I made sure we were there right on the dot to avoid the crowds if there were any.
Moving along, Iike mentioned above, I was ecstatic... I was seriously all giddy and jumpy while walking over to the window! When there, I was greeted and she told me about the burgers. I decided to get the alley burger and famous duck fat poutine and Spence went with the whole truck burger with lettuce and ketchup (~$20). She took my name and we waited. The wait was about 5 - 10 minutes before we got our food. It was a little windy out so we went into the car to eat. I first opened the neatly pack poutine...it definitely a generous amount... The fries were nice and crispy, there was a handful of cheese curds and of course tasty duck fat gravy to top it off. I thoroughly enjoyed the poutine but one thing is, I wish the gravy was hotter..as in hot enough to melt the cheese curds! Spence didn't care for it....that's ok! Allll mine!! Om nom!
To the burgers, Spence liked the whole truck burger but didn't love it. He thought there was too much bread and too little meat (he got the small) but overall he was glad he tried it. As for the alley burger, it was good! Kinda reminded me of a breakfast burger?? I'm pretty sure it was the pork patty, it was seasoned well with a very nice taste. The cheese curds and piri piri garlic aioli was a nice touch, very flavorful.
All in all, I am very happy that I finally got to try the alley burger food truck. It's good!!... but not something I would rave about.
