At Parties That Cook, we are huge fans of the SF street food and mobile food truck scene. Having recently tried Alameda Pies, our hankering for delicious and delivered meals had just begun. In honor of Crissy’s birthday, it seemed only appropriate to have a meal made up of local mobile food vendors for the office street food enthusiast. Thanks to Bibby’s love of Twitter and its legion of street food vendors, we had a tasty spread delivered from mobile food trucks (and bikes!).
Banh Mai (@banhmai)- Having grown up in Southern California and only minutes away from Little Saigon, I’ve had my share of traditional Vietnamese sandwiches (Banh Mi). I wasn’t sure if Banh Mai could rival the sandwiches I grew up eating, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. The fresh bread, juicy pork and pickled carrots and daikon were simple and delicious. The vegan option, made with mushroom pate and seasoned tofu was just as tasty. We also enjoyed these as leftovers, and they were just as good!
Who’s Your Daddy Real Bacon Handmade Potato Chips (@baconpotatochip)– Yes, you’ve read that correctly, bacon potato chips. “Meet the bacon potato chip guy at Dolores Park Café for the pickup,” Bibby instructed. It felt like some sort of illegal transaction. We were trying to keep the food deliveries and pickups under wraps in order to surprise Crissy. I handed Bill (bacon potato chip guy) an envelope of cash and received the ‘goods’. As I drove back to the office the box of bacony perfection was staring back at me! The chips did not have an overwhelming flavor of bacon, but just the perfect amount of salty, mouthwatering goodness.
Bike Basket Pies (@bikebasketpies)– The potato leek pie was my personal favorite! For dessert we enjoyed pumpkin and plum pies delivered by bike from Natalie. Both pies had spices that transported me to Thanksgiving dinner. And the crust! We were fawning over how delicious and flakey the crust was.
Batter Bakery (@batterbakery)– To end our meal we had Halloween-themed cookies. The hand-decorated cutouts with royal icing were too precious to eat. Of course with us that didn’t last long, as we devoured the scrumptious creations.
Have a favorite mobile food truck or street food vendor? Tell us about it! Until next time, bon appétit!
