Street Food

What is is about street food?  As the Mobile Chowdown proves, many people including myself and my friend Karen love it.  What used to be a roach coach is now uber gourmet.  But why?  What is the draw?  It can't be the cleanliness after all, if you think about it, probably not so clean - no running water, no where to wash up, etc.  Oh well, who cares?  Street food is good food.

Last Saturday was yet another Mobile Chowdown.  The skies were clear but the winds were blowing.  Still, people including myself braved the gusts and waited patiently in line for Marination. (@curb_cusine)  It was my first experience with this food truck and I waited with great anticipation, anticipating for 20 minutes.

Finally, I got my delicious box.  Kimchee fried rice, topped with ginger chicken and a sunny-side up egg.  YUM.  Well worth the wait.  Karen got the "tacos around the world" which included a Korean beef, the ginger chicken, a spicy pork and a sexy tofu taco.  They looked great but were gone before I got a chance to take a bite.  :)  OK, admittedly I was too busy stuffing my own face.  The draw on street food?  Its quick, its good and heck it comes from a truck - how awesome is that?
