1. Feelin’ Crabby Crab Cake Sandwich For $11, this was a lot of crab cake.  It’s certainly not DMV-style crab cakes, more of a lobster roll made with crab, but very delicious, a great portion for the money (which is to say not cheap, but totally fair).  Drinks and chips are both $1.  Certainly a nice payday splurge and highly recommended.

  2. Fojol Brothers Benethiopian Beef Berbere and Cabbage & Carrots Getting Ethiopian food from a food truck is obviously a bit odd.  I didn’t know what to expect in quality or presentation.  I can now, however, review in two words: holy balls.

  3. PORC BBQ Veggies over Cous Cous The veggie plate was a bit bland—not bad, a heaping serving for $6, but nothing to write home about.  That being said, I had the bbq beans yet again and they were pretty incredible.   Their meat dishes remain recommended.

  4. Sauca Polpette Marinara This was good, but not as highly recommended as the Mumbai Butter Chicken or the Beef Shwarma.  I think its lack of originality may have lead to my lack of enthusiasm.

  5. Sauca Mumbai Butter Chicken This was really, really incredibly good.  Savory, delicious, everything.  It’s basically a curry chicken dish inside a pita wrap, complete with rice and nuts.  Perfect serving size.  Highly, highly recommended deliciousness.  However good you think this looks you’re wrong—it’s even better than it looks.

  7. CapMac n Cheese w/ Balls Out That’s CapMac’s maroroni and cheese, which is made with Cheez-it crumbles, with their chicken meat balls infused with parmesan cheese, shallots and thyme. This, ladies and gentlemen, is even better than it sounds.  It is a masterpiece of mobile gourmet eating and comes with as high a recommendation as I can issue.

  8. Dangerously Delicious Pies’ Steak Chili The crust is what makes this.  It’s a sweet chili with giant hunks of steak inside, and blended with the fantastic, sweet, flaky crust this thing is great.  I’m not certain if it was as good as the BBQ Pork Pie I’d had with my prior visit, but it comes highly recommended.  That’s two for two with Dangerously Delicious Pies!

  9. Went back to Goode’s today to try out the kebob I’d skipped yesterday and actually had the first, not bad, but irritating experience I’ve had at a truck. The food was great.  Let’s start with that.  I got the jerk sauce on the kebob, side of rice.  Banging.  Great.  Highly recommended. However, call ahead.  I’d never show up to Goode’s again without doing so.  I arrive to ~15 in line.  It was an hour before I got my food.  This is pretty unreasonable.  I’ve been in lines of 50+ at Fojol that have moved much quicker.  It’s unacceptable to be that inefficient and take that long—if I’m waiting for my food, I’m not on the clock and I’m not getting paid.  That kebob is all of a sudden much less worth it.  Unfortunately, it seems like yesterday’s rain and short wait was the exceptional experience. Fortunately enough, it was a lovely day.  If I’m going to be waiting outside an hour for food it might as well be seventy and sunny!

  10. In honor of Joe’s latest post, which briefly mentions the glory of the Fojol Brothers, I thought I’d write a little something about the meal I had last Friday. Apologies for the blurryness of the photo, my cellphone camera did not want to cooperate (that or I was being stubborn and holding it too close to the tasty food) In my opinion, Fojol Brothers has been the most consistently good food truck in DC. The vibe is whimsical, the folks are nice (They remember my name! and compliment me on my outfits! and I always see the owner driving around town on off hours!) and most importantly, the food is excellent.  Fojol’s meats are good. But they really shine with their vegetable options. You can get the standard chickpeas or spinach and rice. But, they aren’t afraid to experiment with interesting ingredients and a nice variety of flavors. Today that experimentation came via the 3 beans. Subtle spices, and a unique interplay of textures helped the Fojol’s turn beans from boring to meal making. Another stand out vegetable for the Fojol’s is the pumpkin. They do it in a variety of manners and it has yet to dissapoint!
