<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I met Katie Lewis of <a href="http://www.slowdownsavor.com/2012/11/savory-pastry-yeah-i-made-them.html" target="_blank">Slow Down & Savor</a> on twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/slowdownsavor" target="_blank">@slowdownsavor</a>) and invited her to the last <a href="http://www.trailerfoodtuesdays.com/" target="_blank">Trailer Food Tuesdays</a> of the year.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="line-height: 1.4;">The more and more potluck dinners I have under my belt, the more and more daring I become in my kitchen adventures. This week, I dove into the sea of puff pastry. Not knowing anything about how to even use the stuff, I was a tad nervous, however, I was excited to be doing something else new, and daring. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So last night, I made some savory pastries for my weekly Wednesday night heart group potluck. I found the recipe I wanted to use as I was oogling over picture after picture of “Potluck Favorites” on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. When I landed on the Avocado, Cream Cheese and Salsa stuffed Puff Pastry, I knew I needed to look no further.<br />The pictures of these golden puffy packages, filled with avocado, cream cheese and salsa were stunning, and the recipe looked easy enough, but as I’ve found, a lot of things on Pinterest look easy enough, but just plain aren’t. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, I just couldn’t pass this one up. I felt like the challenge of working with puff pastry would be fun and exciting, and who doesn’t like making something totally gorgeous? I know that beautiful food makes me happy, and when I’m the one producing it, I just feel ecstatic that I’m gaining the confidence to create new things that only a few months ago, I’d be too afraid to make. I used to be scared that I’d mess up, or whatever I was making wouldn’t come out right and be awful, or something petty like that. </span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />So yesterday when I got home from the Food Bank, I set to work in the kitchen, first removing the puff pastry from the freezer, and then lining up all my ingredients. At first, I was going to just be using salsa, as the recipe called for, but when I was at<a href="http://www.slowdownsavor.com/2012/11/trailer-food-tuesdays-was-super-awesome.html" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> Trailer Food Tuesdays this week</a>, I was able to sample and take home something TRULY unique, Japa Jam. This tomato jam created by <a href="http://www.trailerfoods.com/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Trailer Food Diaries</a>, comes from <a href="http://www.thepeachedtortilla.com/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Peached Tortilla </a>food trailer, and WOW does it pack a punch! </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />After I sampled it, I KNEW I’d have to use some of this sweet, spicy, tart, cinnamony, garlicky, zesty, warm jam in my pastries. I couldn’t pass up this sudden burst of inspiration, so I got hold of a jar, promising to make something exciting and delicious with this stuff.<br />While I was waiting for the puff pastry to thaw (this took way longer than anticipated, and I started to get nervous, looking at the clock, the time ticking by… again, no one ever accused me of being patient.), I sliced open my pretty avocados, and scooped them into a bowl. I mashed them up as best I could, leaving a few chunks whole. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a few long minutes, the pastry was mostly thawed, so I floured my working space, and rolled the dough out as thin as I could without tearing it. I used a pizza cutter to cut squares from the flattened dough, and lined up an assembly line. First I put a layer of cream cheese, then a layer of mushed avocado, and then finally the Japa Jam. I made 14 pastries with Japa Jam, and 14 pastries with <a href="http://stores.tommysfoods.com/-strse-28/Roasted-Ancho-Chile/Detail.bok" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Tommys! Roasted Ancho Chilie Salsa. </a><br />Once I secured lids on all of the layered pastry squares, I gave them all a nice egg washing, and put them in the oven for 25 minutes.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />There wasn’t exactly a strong aroma from these bad boys, but they sure were absolutely perfect. They looked SO beautiful. I mean, I was super surprised with how they turned out. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That’s when I started to catch a whiff of them. The avocado and the tomato jam mixed together to create this sweet yet savory smell that beckoned me to taste! Then, I started to pick up hints then of the roasty toasty ancho chilie salsa. Holy cow, this was going to be hard – driving with these all the way to the heart group meeting and resisting temptation to eat them. All.<br /><br />I resisted temptation and all 24 of these golden beauties arrived safely. They weren’t going to be around for long though! So I bet you’re all wondering how they tasted, huh? </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Super delicious, that’s how! The puff pastry was crispy, flakey and super light. The cream cheese was melted so nice and the avocado was warm and full of that wonderful buttery flavor. The pastries with the salsa tasted super traditional. The avocado, salsa and cream cheese just blended together to create a really familiar Mexican flavor composition. The flavor was really remarkable.<br />The pastries with the Japa Jam were just so out of this world. The flavor from the jam mixed with the avocado and cheese beautifully, but it was definitely a taste that I’d never experienced before. It was so warm, and spicy and yep, there’s the tomato sweetness, oh wait… that tastes like cinnamon, oh hey… there’s something citrusy…. </span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Everyone agreed that it was something really special and unique. The layers of flavor in that jam translated nicely into the dish. The jam wasn’t over powering, but you could without doubt pick out each and every flavor.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />While the salsa was familiar and comforting, the jam added a new meaning to exciting food.<br />I hope that you try these yummy savory pastries.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><i><br /></i></span><i>What You’ll Need:</i><br />2 Ripe avocados<br />2-4 sheets of puff pastry, thawed<br />Cream cheese, room temperature<br />Salsa of your choice, or if you feel inspired to add something else, like Japa Jam, add that to your list! (For more information on how to get some Trailer Food Diaries, scroll to the bottom)<br />1 egg, beaten</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><i>Tools That Will Help:</i><br />2 baking/cookie sheets<br />Parchment paper<br />Rolling Pin<br />Pizza cutter<br />A pastry paintbrush<br />Spoons & forks<br /><i>How to make them:</i><br />Preheat your oven to 400 °F</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Slice open your avocados, and scoop the meat out into a bowl. Mush it up as best you can.<br />Flour your counter top or working surface and roll out the pastry square as thinly as possible, and be careful not to tear it! With a pizza cutter or knife, slice the puffed pastry into approximately 2-inch by 2-inch squares. I made 48 squares out of 3 sheets of pastry.<br />Create an assembly line! First lay down some cream cheese, then some mushed avocado, then your salsa or jam. Do this on half of your squares. The other half of the squares will be lids for the first half.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />When you’re ready to add the lids, place them on top of the stacked ingredients and pinch all the edges together. I used a fork for this part, to ensure that every single teeny place was sealed tight. You don’t want any leakage!</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Next, place your pastry packages on a parchment lined baking sheet, and give them a layer of egg wash, to make them pretty and golden in the oven.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Place the cookie sheets in the oven, and check them at 15 minutes. I let mine cook for 25 minutes, but I’m sure anywhere between 20-30 minutes would be the ideal length of time.</span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><tbody>

There was not a real kids festival in Austin where the music wasn't so loud and everyone was pounding a beer around you. We really felt the need for a family friendly event in Austin and it has shown with all of our success from Food Network, MTV, Joey Chestnut (Hot Dog Eating Champ) coming to eat in our ice cream eating contest and even international press.</span></span><br />

The Melting Cone has the best flavored waffle cones you have had, including Jalapeño and Cinnamon. We coat them or dip them with all kinds of great toppings including Pop Rocks, peppermint, almonds and nuts, and all kinds of other great goodies. I have partnered with Tim Joyner from Austin Scoops. Tim is an an incredible "Ice Cream Man" and can make some of the best ice cream you have ever had. his experience was a big part of me wanting to do this.</span></span><br />

Food Trailer Business
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: GillSans;">You’ll</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: GillSans;"> </span><span style="font-family: GillSans; font-weight: 300;">n</span><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">eed a unique product, a healthy dose of perseverance and plenty of time dedicated to
marketing.Whatever you think your starting budget is, go ahead and double that, and if you’re
not handy, get handy—that will save you in the long run when parts of your trailer kitchen
malfunction. Here is some advice for those interested in pursuing their own version of the American
dream via a food trailer:
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Menu </span></b></span><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">One of the first things you’ll want to determine is the type of food you are serving and your menu
selection. You’ll want to keep your menu simple for many reasons. Limited options with only a handful
of menu items to choose from will reduce patrons’ time in line and reduce the overall workload in the
kitchen. Remember that starting out, you are the one doing all the grocery shopping, food orders, cooking
and cleaning. Starting out with a minimal menu will allow you to get food out quicker and save you time
before and after your prep work.
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">Waste </span><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">Water and grease </span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">Operating out of a food truck, food trailer or old RV, you will be dealing
with removing waste water from washing hands and dishes, as well as any grease from cooking. Map a
plan for a sanitary, environmentally friendly and legal way to dispose of these items on a regular basis that
is close to your location.
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">Understand </span><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">your electrical needs </span></b></span><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">Make sure the spot you rent for your trailer food business
is equipped with enough electricity to power your business. You don’t want to leave any product in
your trailer overnight to avoid any electrical blowouts that would turn the refrigerator off and ruin your
product. Instead, store food products in your commissary.
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">Find </span><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">a commissary close to your trailer location </span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">Whether you do most of your prep work in
a commissary kitchen or not, the Austin law currently requires you to have a commissary kitchen as part
of your license to operate a food trailer. Having a commissary that is close to your trailer location will save
you time and money. The same logic can be applied to where you source your food product, if you are
not having your product delivered.
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">Form </span><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">great relationships With your suppliers </span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">They might not always be able to show up on time,
so make sure not to get too low in your product before you call in an order. Don’t make your emergency
their problem, and pay your bills on time; you might need a favor from them in a pinch, and you want to
be in good standing when you have to call them for backup support.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Marketing </span></b></span><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">Don’t leave this part out of your business plan, especially if you don’t have a business
plan. Do not expect to get everything ready and receive business just because you turned on the open
sign. Make sure your set up your Facebook page, Twitter and website or blog to include pertinent
</span><br />

</div>
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">information: business phone, e-mail, location and hours. Get to know local food bloggers and
writers and invite them out to any special tasting events you might be having.Write a decent
press release and let the media know about your opening and why you are unique. Introduce
yourself to neighboring businesses, and be an active member in your community and the trailer
community at large.
</span><br />
<span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Set </span></b></span><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">your hours and stick to them</span></b> </span><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">Patrons find it particularly frustrating when they try to
find you for lunch and you’re closed. It often is the last time they try to find you.That said, people
understand when things prohibit you from opening your business on time as planned. Just be
sure to let people know if you are closed on all your social media accounts and with a sign up
at the trailer when possible.
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">Get </span><span style="color: #eb7544; font-family: GillSans-Bold-SC700;">all your permits </span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'GillSans'; font-size: 10.000000pt; font-weight: 300;">Call the health and fire department for the most current information on
how to be registered and permitted correctly. Although the process may be lengthy, remember
they are there to help you get your business set up correctly. </span><br />

Held at the Long Center for Performing Arts every last Tuesday of the month, the third installment of Trailer Food Tuesdays is coming this September 25th! Ten local food trucks and trailers will serve their unique menus from 5p-10p. Family friendly, music, free admission. Plenty of parking, or find us just off the hike and bike trail close to Riverside and 1st.</div>

Trailer food fans, I have embarked on a new journey of the Trailer Food Diaries. My best friend and food truck entrepreneur, Maurine Winkley has joined me in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jellyqueens" target="_blank">Jelly Queens</a> kitchen to add jams and sauces to the Trailer Food Diaries collection this fall. We are featuring the trailer vendor's own unique recipes and have them available on the market. <br />

Our first flavors of the fall are:<br />

We are also very excited about the Loveballs Bus making an appearance. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">Owned and operated by Gabe and Sao Rothschild, the idea for the bus first arose when they moved to Austin from Japan and started eating at all the food trucks and trailers around town. But something was missing....Takoyaki! Gabe and Sao had been making Takoyaki at home in Japan and wanted to bring this treat to all Austinites! After getting married in the fall of 2010 they decided to make it happen and Love Balls was born and officially open in March of 2011. So what are Takoyaki? Classically speaking they're pan fried pancake balls filled with chunks of octopus, pickled ginger, and scallions then topped with a savory Japanese brown sauce, Kewpie mayo, aonori, and bonito flakes! </span><br />

<span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 11pt;">Let me entice you further with their description: “ChocoSutra heralds as a combination of ancient herbalism and a modern confectionary. Utilizing some of the most powerful herbs and the essential oils of herbs used for healing and health maintenance, in conjunction with raw organic cacao, we create elixirs and bite size morsels (chocolate bars, truffles, cookies, etc…) so packed with nutrition that the idea of indulging on chocolate again can have a positive connotation. The idea is to upgrade the common drink of hot chocolate or hot cocoa to a super tonic elixir so dense with nutritive qualities that it actually enhances the physical and mental state of the consumer while at the same time making it taste delicious enough to be called the best hot ‘chocolate’ ever.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 15px;">Chocolate is really high magnesium, which is a major deficiency in the modern western diet. It's great for your heart," shares Richard. Their power ingredients also include t</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 15px;">ocotrienols, which supply you with vitamin E (skin), and vitamin B complex (energy).

"We use </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 15px;">mushrooms like reishi and chago because of their immune support," explains Richard.</span></div>

After getting pulled over in the swamp and getting lost, I had the good fortune of meeting up with Aaron Brown, head chef of <a href="http://tacodepaco.com/" target="_blank">Taco de Paco</a>. "Who's Paco?" I asked him. "That's me," he said, two thumbs pointing towards his chest. This Baton Rouge truck was originally used during Katrina to feed Fema workers and the homeless but it's purpose now is slinging really good tacos.<br />
<br />
Y'all know living in Texas I can spot a good taco when I see one: whenever I stop at a 'taco' truck, I raise a skeptical eyebrow. I would hazard to guess I've eaten several hundred pounds of tacos in my life and it takes more than sriracha to impress these taste buds. You see where I'm going with this. These were the real deal. I had the "Dat Foo": slow roasted pulled pork, chinese hoisin sauce, thai slaw, topped with spicy Sriracha chili sauce and washed it down with a "Juan": grilled angus steak, roasted corn and jalapeño black bean salsa, lemon creme fresh and fresh cilantro. Chef Aaron tells me he's made the likes of fried green tomato tacos, steak and lobster tacos, and gumbo tacos. There is more to this taco truck than meets the eye, and I look forward to sharing their recipes and histories in the Best of the US edition of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/trailerfooddiaries" target="_blank">Trailer Food Diaries</a> cookbook series.<br />

She came by way of Chicago, and he from Venezuela. What better opportunity to serve their friends and colleagues some late night food and who better to do it than a Latin chef with a French name, thought the pair. So they conspired to open "La Cocinita" in November of 2011. I'm looking forward to sharing their arepas recipe and more of their history in the Best of the US Trailer Food Diaries cookbook. But until then, let me leave your mouth watering with Cachapas...<br />
<br />
<b><i>Cachapas with Red Pepper & Tomatillo Sauce</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b><br />
<i>Ingredients for Cachapas</i><br />
1 egg<br />
1/4 c milk<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTP4YRgWTrpeDyUD052uIfR_vlrg_VbfTubm4SmCXy3PIs42nKKzBV2lWTmhkHFUzufvXPc3XtwX1Cw-ekIXkioUAAsZd_kQ_3WdBnedtpygS6n-7YP5f-MlHkSPp_R3RE7m-q4MhX0V1/s1600/cocinita3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTP4YRgWTrpeDyUD052uIfR_vlrg_VbfTubm4SmCXy3PIs42nKKzBV2lWTmhkHFUzufvXPc3XtwX1Cw-ekIXkioUAAsZd_kQ_3WdBnedtpygS6n-7YP5f-MlHkSPp_R3RE7m-q4MhX0V1/s200/cocinita3.JPG" width="200" /></a>2 tbsp flour<br />
1 tbsp salt<br />
pinch of sugar<br />
9 oz pkg queso fresco (or mozzarella)<br />
<br />
<i>Ingredients for Red Pepper & Tomatillo Sauce</i><br />
2 red peppers<br />
5 tomatillos<br />
1/2 c vegetable (or chicken) broth<br />
juice of 1/2 lemon<br />
1 tbsp honey<br />
splash of balsamic vinegar<br />
1 tbsp sugar<br />
pinch of salt and pepper<br />
<br />
<i>Directions Cachapas:</i><br />
1. Grill 3-4 ears of corn in the husks. Cut the kernels off the cobs (will be approximately 2 cups of corn). <br />
2. Blend 1 1/2 cups of corn with the rest of the ingredients in a blender or a food processor, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup of corn.<br />
3. Fold in the rest of the corn.<br />
4. Ladle a scant 1/4 cup of batter at a time (however many will fit at once) onto a buttered non-stick griddle.<br />
5. Cook at medium heat for 5 minutes without disrupting. Carefully flip each corn cake. Cook another 5 minutes. Flip half of the pancakes once more and add sliced queso fresco to the warm side of each of these pancakes.<br />
6. Let sit another 2 minutes to heat the cheese. Place the remaining pancakes on top of the cheese with the warmer side facing down to create "sandwiches."<br />
7. Top with Red Pepper & Tomatillo Sauce<br />
<br />
<i>Directions Red Pepper & Tomatillo Sauce:</i><br />
1. Peel, clean, and dice the tomatillos. Wash, deseed, and cut the red peppers into large chunks. <br />
2. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered.<br />
3. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Puree in a food processor or blender. Pour pureed sauce through a sieve or strainer.<br />
4. Chill sauce in refrigerator until cool, then serve with cachapas.<br />

Every day he's wafflin' - that's what Collin's shirt says. I met <a href="http://vivalawaffle.com/about" target="_blank">Viva la Waffle</a> on the side of the road after hours in Lafayette, Lousiana. He and business partner Fred opened the Viva la Waffle truck in July of 2011. They were only open five days when an electrical fire burned the cabin and shut them down for three months. But as the saying goes, you can't keep a good man down. The guys re-opened with a bang and have been serving their famous waffle sandwiches ever since. <br />
<br />
Take a buttermilk brined fried chicken breast, slop a spicy honey drizzle over it and throw in some blue cheese buttermilk slaw in between two waffles and you'll have "The Roscoe," which is purported to be the best selling ticket item on the truck. So waffle sandwiches, right? The waffle recipe uses more yeast than most, causing to be a little crispier, and, well, breadier than the waffle you grew up with. Chef Collin has stirred the proverbial pot a bit with his braised beef cheeks, cotija, chile lime sour cream, shredded lettuce and tomato in a waffle sandwich but he has flavors for every palette. Check out the nod to Elvis with the "Viva Las Vegas": peanut butter, berry compote, sliced bananas and candied bacon in a waffle sandwich.<br />
<br />
They gave me a great story about an ancient waffle cart in New Orleans that sold four waffles for five cents, but you're going to have to buy the cookbook to get the rest of the story...

North Austin has previously not been a part of the traditionally South and East Austin food trailer parks. But as of this Saturday,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/AustinNATY" target="_blank"> the NATY (North Austin Trailer Yard)</a> changes all of that. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/AustinNATY" target="_blank">The NATY </a>Grand Opening Party<br />
<b><i>Saturday May 12th: 1p-9p</i></b><br />
1012 W. Anderson Ln. (78757)<br />
<br />
The NATY offers diverse foods in a trailer park setting. You can try a little of everything and check out the full story on <a href="http://austin.culturemap.com/newsdetail/05-04-12-17-45-north-austin-finally-has-a-trailer-food-park-the-naty/" target="_blank">Culture Map</a>:<br />

We love helping people enjoy that part of the day," </b>says owner Jerry Strickland as he's telling me about their beans and leaves. "Our roaster goes to el Salvador and has a relationship with growers and communities," he continues. BikeCaffe is savvy about real world complications that their partnering communities endure on a daily basis. "That cup of coffee has an impact on the part of the world where it came from; it's easy to not think about that. <b>Being involved in fair trade coffee, we need to make sure what we are doing is benefitting the community."</b> That's why Jerry and wife Lara are putting together a bike donation program to help the farmers who are carrying the beans long distances.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
The bike itself was made in Boulder, Colorado and the name is a nod to their Italian heritage. They have a full commercial espresso machine built in Italy and they use an old Italian method for pulling the espresso that is likened to a Guinness pour. Having been to Italy, the couple loves the culture and history there and the coffee they say, is one of the best parts. Local pastries from Quacks bakery gives vegans and non-vegans alike yummy breakfast snack options to accompany their latte. My personal favorite was the honey vanilla chai. BikeCaffe Austin is open Monday-Friday from 7:30a-1p on the corner of 9th and Congress. Jerry reminds you, <b>"Coffee is a great common denominator."</b> So grab a friend and stop by for an al fresco cup of feel-good joe and tell them Trailer Food Diaries sent ya!<br />

The current menu has choices for carnivores and vegans alike, but almost everything 'meat' can be converted to a vegan option. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The names of each menu item offer a nod to owner Jon Lach's love for music. Winging through more than 1,000 biscuit dishes each Saturday, the Gloria Gaynor is his best-seller. It contains three homemade biscuits, split open and steaming, topped with your choice of gravy, three scrambled eggs, two cheeses, bacon, sausage, jalapeños and chives. It's absolutely worth the $9, and although I should have split mine with a friend I was able to eat the whole thing. If you're looking for something a little lighter on the pocket book, the Bee Gee is only $1 and is your basic real good biscuit with butter and jam of the day.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Other fun names on Jon's menu have included (or will be soon): Johnny Hash, Philly Nelson, Melton John, Tina Turnip, Fleetwood Mac & Cheese, Barry Hamilow, Pig Floyd. There is a mixed tape swap available when you order as well: bring a mixed tape CD, they give you someone else's and the cycle continues.<br />
<br />
Jon uses local farms (Richardson) and breweries (Independent) to develop his biscuit concepts. While I was there, Jon even taught me a trick on how to make vegan buttermilk, which is the secret to making his biscuits so wonderful. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

During Austin's annual music/film/interactive festival known as South by Southwest (or "SXSW" as the locals call it), I linked up with Eric Silverstein of the Peached Tortilla to find out just how hard the food truck entrepreneurs are working. For four days, I woke up at 4am to work twelve hour shifts serving breakfast aboard the NBC Today Show Food Trucks that were set up outside of the Convention Center (which is the hub of SXSW). <br />
<br />
NBC hired Eric to wrap and execute a few trucks from the Snappy Snacks fleet to activate giving away almost 10,000 meals. My role as team leader involved loading and preparing the truck for service, driving the truck to the worksite, managing the team of culinary students who were working and serving in the truck, driving the truck back and cleaning it to be ready for the night shift.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On the menu board, we had six options which the Today Show team developed to be split into two trucks. Both trucks were open for a breakfast and a late night shift. On my truck, we served Today Tots (tater tots topped with peach BBQ sauce and cheese sauce), Fresh Fruit cups (topped with toasted coconut and a warm muffin), and Papaquiles which were a recipe won by Austinites Julie Munroe and Ryan Schierling. The papaquiles were the best-sellers: a hash brown and egg taco topped with a swizzle of sour cream and red and green onions for a tasty and colorful garnish. The second truck sold Breakfast Bombs (an egg and cheese biscuit sandwich with bacon jam), French Toast Sticks (with blueberry puree and powdered sugar), and Cheese Grits, which were approved by George Clinton of Funkadelic who stopped by the truck for an interview.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Some quick stats on the meals served:</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><ul><li>9775 meals served (including when it was raining)</li>
<li>2528 biscuits </li>
<li>45 lbs of bacon jam </li>
<li>1275 slices of jalapeños</li>
</ul><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div>Although I know what kind of work ethic it takes to run these food trucks, it was much harder to do than to write about. For every hour of being open, I'd hazard to guess there are at least 2 hours of work behind the scenes in prep, cleaning, and planning. One word of advice I can offer: if you're thinking about opening a food truck, work on one first. The real world experience will at least help you determine whether this line of work is for you or not. I'm grateful for the opportunity to participate with such great students, a cool food truck entrepreneur, and of course the NBC Today Show during SXSW 2012 to deepen my understanding of the food truck world. <br />

<i>Check back frequently for updates to this post with SXSW food truck info</i><br />
Austin isn't just the live music capitol of the world, it's the trailer food capitol of the world too. Our food truck scene has much to offer by way of creative gourmet cuisine and rich histories that speak of the American Dream. There are several pods of food trailers spread throughout the city, and several of them have moved temporarily for SXSW entertaining. The closest naturally forming pods from the Convention Center are going to be on East 6th, just a pedi-cab ride away:<br />

The '313' business was Detroit's first area code, in case you were still wondering.<br />

What some are calling the last bastion of iconic food trailers, the "East Side" offers more than twenty classic food trailers, housing everything from original classics to up and coming street food chefs. As part of the <a href="http://austinfoodbloggers.org/city-guide/">2012 Austin City Guide</a> compiled by the Austin Food Blogger Alliance, this article aims to feature some of the best of the best of the East Austin food trailers.<br />

True to the popular trailer's slogan "So good, make your eye roll back," the Brussels sprouts are what does it for me personally... but you don't have to take my word for it. At the second annual Gypsy Picnic trailer food festival they won both the fan favorite as an overall festival favorite award, and the critics choice award for best item on a bun with their roasted pork belly buns. Making appearances on popular chef series such as Bourdain's<a href="http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/anthony-bourdain"> No Reservations</a>, as well as Eat Street, this trailer is surely one you won't want to miss.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/BitsAndDruthers">Bits and Druthers</a> came in second in the survey, best known for their fish and chips, but if you ask Eat Street this trailer takes the cake with another special dish. <a href="http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/eat-street/index.html">Eat Street</a> Producers were in Austin last Fall filming for season four of their popular street food show which airs on the Cooking Channel via Food Network Canada. They waxed poetic regarding the Wednesday special Bits and Druthers puts on, naming their Beef Wellington one of their favorite meals in the country. This trailer is located at 1001 East 6th. Other yummy trailers in this pod include <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Mati.Greek.trailer">Mati Greek trailer</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pig-Vicious-Bacon/103092989756238">Pig Vicious</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PuebloViejoATX">Pueblo Viejo</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fireflypies">Firefly Pies</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/loveballsbus">Love Balls</a>, and please forgive me if someone has moved since I last biked by. <br />

If you find yourself down this way, stop at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/eastsidefoodpark">East Side Food Park </a>at 2209 E. Cesar Chavez for some unexpected gems. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/El-Pollo-Rey/219518871451902">El Pollo Rey</a> is doing chicken justice with their char-grillin' goodness. I unwrapped the 'half chicken' to find a luscious charcoal-kissed onion and some yummy green sauce along with the package. There's also <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yoko-Ono-Miyaki-yokono/285437208182692">Yoko Ono Miyaki</a>, serving up Japanese pancakes. I had the vegetable based one, but there are delectable versions that include brisket or pork belly and served with bonito flakes. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pachamamas-Peruvian-Creole-Cuisine/295777170466963">Pachamama's Peruvian Creole Cuisine</a> has a large menu full of wonderful South American traditional favorites, but his ceviche is the dish to die for. Last but not least,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Coffee-Spot/233193916721330"> the Coffee Spot </a>offers you guessed it - coffee, smoothies, and generally speaking good drinks.<br />

They deliver in the '02 zip code if you can't make it out for the full trailer experience. <br />

Man was my heart (and belly) full when I left the Dock and Roll trailer earlier this week. I met with native Austinite's Lee Krassner, Adam Lewis and Daniel Dennis who opened the Dock and Roll trailer after most of the summer heat had passed last fall (August 2011) with the only lobster roll food truck concept in town. With Lee as the culinary expert, Daniel in personal training and Adam in real estate, these home town boys are the perfect storm for greatness in the trailer food industry. <br />

Although Adam does lobster and conch dives in the Bahamas every year, their sandwiches feature a mixture of wild caught lobster from the North East and lobster from Austin Seafood tossed and seasoned with their signature mayo and topped with chopped chives. It had huge chunks of meat (no shreddy business) and with the addition of an Old Bay lemon butter melted in the fresh baked bread from (local) Swetish Hill, I'm just not sure it's possible to make a better tasting lobster roll. Adam and Lee were adamant I tell them the 'truth' of how it tasted. They are passionate about having a product you will love, so public commentary is welcome. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Not into lobster? That's cool. Go for the Infidel Castro or the Blue Bahn-ett if you like pork, or try the SouthWestlake for a chicken-inspired sandwich. Their jalapeño mac n cheese poppers are quite a side attraction and of course, they offer a bacon love sandwich for you bacon lovers.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">THEY HAVE THEIR OWN GARDEN! How Austin-appropriate, right? Their Gypsy Habanero Sauce, made from homegrown Gypsy and Habanero peppers took third place in last year's Hot Sauce Festival.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">On a personal note, I was amazed to learn that Adam's heritage was also Russian Jewish. His ancestors undoubtedly did business with mine, as they both came in through Galveston in the late 1800's and were both involved in the banana trade. I'm a little longer in the tooth than Adam, so we didn't know each other growing up, but we went to the same schools. My great-grandfather was much of the inspiration behind Trailer Food Diaries because he took a leap of faith to start a new way of life and it all began with a mobile food cart. I see the same spark with all the trailer food vendors out there taking a leap of faith to pursue happiness. The Dock and Roll guys are a great example of good people living their version of the Dream. Go give them your business and tell them Tiffany sent ya.</div><br />
