Stick It - Food Truck

When my friend Julia of Travel with Flavor wanted to do a food truck crawl, I wasn't going to say no.  She is much more plugged into the Houston Food scene than I am, and I can only imagine an awesome ride.  

So this week, I'll be sharing with you what we had.  What you see the entire week, we ate in one night. Yes, we ate tons of stuff, but since it was spanned over a period of time, it wasn't so stuffed.

First stop was Stick It food truck, this night, they paired up with Karbach Brewing (local craft brewery).  That is an awesome idea, which you will find that all of these food truck are doing.  They usually partnered up with a bar and serve good food with good drinks.

As their truck name suggests, everything they have is on a stick.  Things to note about food truck is that while it gives them the flexibility to express their creativity in cooking.  That also means that what you see on their menu one week may not be there the next time you visit.  So, you may have some awesome stick item, it may have been a one time appearance over certain period of time, like the Halley's comet.

Here we have Korean Pork Belly over a bed of jasmine rice and on the side (far right) is crunchy pork pop.

The pork belly was beautiful, nice cut, nicely grilled.  Juicy enough that captured the flavor from the fat.  Mix well with the rice, which I can tell besides scallions there are stuff in the mix just can't tell what exactly.  It wasn't exactly easy to stand and eat while holding a glass of beer at the brewing place. The crunchy pork, what made it crunchy was that it's been lightly fried.  That sounded good, except I think because of that it dried out the pork.  So, while it is well seasoned and flavorful, the meat texture was a little tighter and more jerky-like than the pork belly.

Obviously, they have more to offer on their menu, there are beef and chicken selections and bacon fried rice.  If you ever lack your quota of bacon for the day, you should definitely try it.  Even though most food trucks do have a 'set' partner bar or parking lot, they are also like the travelling troubadour, you have to catch them where you can.  Stalk them on twitter and facebook, and this goes for all food trucks.
