| - Last week, my wife were in Austin for an event over the weekend. We walked around downtown and ran into a couple of food trucks. We had a po'boy that was out of this world. Thought what a great idea...food trucks. Low overhead for the owner, great food, cool dining experience with a local chef with the passion to serve great and unique food!
Now, a week later, back in Phoenix... I am getting out of a meeting with my stomach grumbling and trying to figure what to eat. So I hop in my car and now talking to my wife and asking where I can grab something that I have not tried in the downtown area... She says "...do not know...". Then I see the food trucks! I say to myself "you have to stop, these are local entrepreneurs that deserve at least a shot!".
Boy... Was I blown away! I had a hard choice to make between the various food trucks... I chose Short Leash. I was going to order the the Chicago-style dog. Because, if you knew my wife's family, anything else would be blasphemy!
I asked the recommendation of the owner between the Chicago-style and something else on the menu. He recommended the Aiko that had mango chutney and jalepenos. I took his advice! He then called my name when the dog was ready... Sat down... Unwrapped it... And was blown away with the presentation, the flat bread, the whole combination! They even had the "Mexican" coca cola made with cane sugar.
Needless to say, I was blown away! Now, I have to take my wife there, probably kicking and screaming because she is a traditionist when it comes to hot dogs. But I know she will love it!
BTW, they have a FB page with locations and times where they are at, enjoy!
