HOLA Arepa Food Truck = Yum!

Not too long ago, some co-workers and I hit up the Tap Room after work at the Fulton Brewery.  For most Twin's home games they have a rotation of food trucks in their parking lot.  So you have the option to grab a bite and bring it in to the Tap Room and enjoy it with a great pint or get a Growler to go.
HOLA AREPA Food Truck

The night we went, it was the HOLA AREPA truck specializing in Latin Street Food, mainly Arepas which are ground corn bread pockets that are filled with savory Latin ingredients. 
Chorizo & Peppers Arepa

I went for the Chorizo & Peppers Arepa, it was over flowing with  Peppers, onions, Argentinian style Chorizo, cheese, pickled cabbage and much more.  They had several choices of salsa to pair with the Arepa as well.  It was super tasty!  Check out Hola Arepa out on Twitter, make sure to check them out next time you are hunting Minneapolis or St. Paul food trucks!

Best I Ever Ate - Burgers

This is my first post in a blog I have had in my head for quite some time. For my hobby and my work, I get to travel quite a bit and I am a guy that enjoys good solid food. So I will be logging my experiences of dining out good and bad as much as possible.

So my first blog will be from a trip to Los Angeles back in December and the best Burger I have ever ate! On a work trip, a co-worker and I had some time to kill before catching our flight. So we made a quick detour through Hollywood. After walking around looking for a good lunch spot, we ran across the Grill'em All food truck that I remembered seeing on the Food Network on Great American Food Truck Race.

The burger I had was not on their standard menu, but a daily special, not sure how often they run this burger, but it was truly awesome. Named the WarPig, bun had a good texture and a nice toasting, burger was a perfect juicy medium, the Pork Belly was like bacon on Steroids, Sprouts added good crunch and the Kimchi & Sriracha sauce added the perfect kick!

I got a side of fries, they were very solid, but the Chipotle ketchup was nothing special. My co-worker loved his burger as well, called the Witte (pr. Wit-e)
cream cheese, deep fried bacon, beer/ Sriracha onion, malt vinegar aioli. He also scored on the H-100's, hand made cheddar filled tater tots on steroids.

In the end Godzilla had nothing on this burger and would get again if I had the chance, I actually have day dreams about this burger! This one obviously gets a 5 Burrito Rating!!
