Food Trucks Now Stopping At My Work!!

Hello again! Well, the food truck gods must've been answering my prayers because now that the cafeteria at my work is going through an extensive renovation, they're bringing in five very popular food trucks in the Bay Area: Let's Be Frank, Sam's Chowdermobile, Roli Roti Gourmet Rotisserie, Curry Up Now, and Hapa SF.

Let's just say that my first week was very filling for me based on the following pics.

I don't really know much about Let's Be Frank. Though I do know that they serve organic hot dogs. The following pic was my Let's Be Frank Big Beef Dog from Underdog in the city, but I'm pretty sure what you'd get would be the same thing. It was really tasty hot dog!

If you looked up the definition of food porn in the dictionary, you most likely see an image of the Lobster Roll from Sam's Chowdermobile. It's crazy enough that they throw in a whole lobster (claws and tail) in the sandwich, but to add insult to your health, they buttered up the roll!!! That calls for instant foodgasms.

There's nothing more I really need to say about the Porchetta sandwich from Roli Roti. I'm just glad that they brought it with them to Genentech since it was exclusive only at the SF Ferry Building Farmer's Market. This is a great opportunity for you guys to try it without waiting in line for 20-30 minutes.

Curry Up Now seems to be the most popular truck. The line is super long every time I go out there. You gotta try the Chicken Masala Burrito. It's very flavorful, though I made the mistake to request to have it "Spicy" and didn't realize that it was put my mouth on fire. They even warned me about it too! If you're going to go the spicy route, I really recommend ordering their Mango Lassi to cool down after or during your spicy journey.

Hapa SF is a Filipino Food Truck that offers some interesting fusion twists on other food truck items. In particular, Sisig Tacos and the Chicken Adobo Banh Mi. I was really amazed how much chicken they threw in the Banh Mi. It really filled me up. And at first I was really reluctant to try the Sisig Tacos, but after trying them I realized what a brilliant idea it was! Fried marinated pork in a taco? Brilliant!!! Yeah it's basically like Al Pastor tacos, but it works and they too were loaded with a lot of meat.

So yeah, good stuff all around. Sadly, I have to find ways to restrain myself from visiting the food trucks everyday as it does get very expensive. Shoot me an email if you want so find this gold mine of food truck goodness!
