| - Kudos to Hodge Podge for creating an American version of "Poutine" during their Denver stop of the Great Food Truck Race. It started with a layer of perfectly crispy tater tots (can you teach me how to make them so yummy?), followed by a HUGE mound of braised short rib, perfectly tender and juicy, topped with baby spinach(??), and, to make it "poutine-like" drizzled with a cheddar cheese gravy. I must say, it was DIVINE! A little hard to eat out of a small dish, but so yummy!!
Then, I watered it down with a raspberry-basil lemonade! A subtle flavor of basil that was perfect in the 80-degree weather. I would say, though, that the limade was too tart for my tastes - I had to reach for the sweetener just to get through the glass.
After tasting the other trucks creations (which were definitely contenders), I left saying the Hodge Podge truck had stolen my heart! I was a bit appalled by the $12 price tag, but you definitely gave me the best bang for the buck versus the other trucks! Good luck on the rest of your race! You have some fierce competitors, but I am a sucker for "comfort food."
