Food Truck Throwdown
Recovering from a disappointing Red Sox season, Boston hungered for a win Saturday at the 2012 Food Truck Throwdown. Hey NY, at least we can kick your ass in food trucks by winning this year’s People’s Choice Award for Best Food Truck City.
While the quality of food may have been impressive, the long lines and crowds were a joke. The event was held in Dewey Square on Saturday, October 13th, from 11am-9pm. Boston-side vendors, Bon Me, Roxy’s, Kickass, The Cookie Monstah and others doled it out against New York food truck contenders. Special thanks to Jetblue for sponsoring this year’s event. The signs plastered to each truck made sure you didn’t miss their name. This year my vote goes to the Cookie Monstah for their Chocolate Chunk signature cookie and Monstah ice cream sandwiches!

521 Kitchen and Que is located in Atlanta off Roswell Road and is our pick for ordering your Holiday Meal this year, and dinner tonight!
Owned by local Atlanta couple, Drew and Roma Kirkland, this is by far one of the best BBQ’s we have been to. One thing that strikes us in particular about this restaurant is their commitment to locally sourced and fresh food. Also, they are vegetarian and gluten free friendly. Vegetarian? A BBQ restaurant is vegetarian friendly? Yes, believe it or not, as Roma told us, there are quite a lot of vegetarians that love to grab a bite at 521 Kitchen and Que.
As someone that works with my significant other, I loved the fact that the “521” in 521 Kitchen and Que is their anniversary date. Awe… Heart melts.
So, long story short; We sampled all the yummy goodies they have and for your holiday meals, do yourself a favor and let them cook it.
Must have picks:
Turkey – Moist and Delicious. All your guests will be impressed.
Kale Slaw – So delightful! It doesn’t have the bitterness you might expect from Kale. It is definitely worth getting
Baked Sweet Potato – Cooked perfectly, season with salt and pepper
Brisket – Melt in your mouth delicious!
Let’s just say that we loved everything we tried and we are certain you will too.
Go ahead and try them for lunch or dinner! While you are there, place your holiday order! Do it quickly!
Midtown-Atlanta’s scrumptious Melting Pot will have a delicious 4th of July menu available–and it’s 1/4 off! Skip the grill on your holiday, because there will be a meal for everyone to enjoy aside from burgers and hot dogs. Personally, I’d get all over that watermelon and feta salad. And the Buffalo chicken.
