Like a Virgin:  Blog 2
Jackie Fernandez

It’s a defining moment, but I can’t just share it with anyone.   It must be special.  Unforgettable.  Exciting.

Two words:  Art Walk.  Bingo.  It’s an electrifying night of local art and food trucks.

But how do I decide?  So many attractive trucks.  So many delicious vegetarian options.  The dishes are beautifully wrapped.  They’re all look so luscious.  They’re all so tempting.  Which one will it be?

I had a great selection to choose from too:  A Mexican, a Japanese, a cheerful burger joint, a hot dog extraordinaire, and even a funky potato tornado.

Well, I laid eyes on a Mediterranean truck and lost it.

Why did I choose Kabob’N Roll?  Why was it so special?  Well, I’m a sucker for grape leaves, hummus and falafel.  I won’t solely blame myself though.  The truck, itself, is somewhat of a temptress.  It’s shiny and tall.  It’s covered in flames.  Need I say more?  In the vein of cut off shorts, owners use a small table to display delicious offerings.  I couldn’t resist.

I ordered these items and split them with Patricia.  The food was delicious.  Amidst the hustle and bustle of the downtown Art Walk, under the starry sky, I sat in my fold out chair and escaped into an orgasmic dining experience.  I can even go as far as saying it was better than cuisine I’ve had at some brick ‘n mortars.

Smooth, creamy hummus not too dry, clumpy and the flavor was just right.  I’ve had bad hummus and it irritates me.  The vegan grape leaves didn’t taste any differently from a non-vegan one.  The falafel was perfectly fried.  As I’m writing this my mouth is watering. I want to go back.  Now!

My night of food truck deliciousness didn’t stop there.  I was smitten and wanted more.  Thankfully, I didn’t suffer consequences of my gluttony and hopefully never will.

A Japanese-Mexican fusion was my second stop.  The Komodo offered a vegetarian taco called the Soi.  It’s filled with a soy tempeh salad and peanut dressing.  It was good, but not like my first.  For my palette, it was a little dry.  Maybe I should ask for more peanut dressing next time.  I mean I’m a recent non-virgin so I gotta slowly figure out how I like things, right?
