SactoMoFo Tweet Up

SactoMoFo (Sacramento Mobile Food Festival) is rolling into town tomorrow from noon to 6 p.m. at Fremont Park at 16th and Q streets. This past Tuesday night @Ms_Munchie hosted a Sacramento tweet-up at the Monte Carlo Club that featured two local gourmet food trucks:

Drewski’s Hot Rod Kitchen – specializing in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, melts, tacos and a variety of  fun/creative side dishes.

Mini Burger – serving gourmet burgers and fries

Dan and I have plans to meet up with a bunch of friends on Saturday for the actual festival, but I wanted to take advantage of ordering from the two trucks without huge lines. It was totally worth it. I invited my non twitter friend Kristen to join in the fun!

Kristen went to an event a few weekends ago that featured the Mini Burger Truck, so she had already sampled some of the menu items and pretty much knew what she liked and what she still wanted to try.

Ummm… greasy box before even starting. Kristen ordered from the Mini Burger Truck and I ordered from Drewski’s and we split everything. I loved the idea of putting the mini burger gummy in the box.

Our Mini Burger Truck Order
3 pack of mix and match burgers for $8.00 – They use Five Dot Ranch – Natural Angus Beef for their burgers.
Ninja Burger– Asian Slaw, Pea Shoots, Lotus Chip, Sriracha Aioli and ZOMG…so freakin’ tasty!
The OG – American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Grilled Onion, House Sauce. I just wanted to try simple, it was great!
Lil Shorty – My half was all gristle – I couldn’t eat it – but was too full to care – the others were fabulous!

You have the option between two sides Hand Cut Fries ($2.00) or Sweet Potato Tots w/Ancho Honey Sauce ($2.50) – We opted for the tots. They were crunchy pillows of goodness, loved the texture, loved the taste.

Our Drewski’s Order:

The Special ($7.50) – Fresh thinly sliced granny Smith apple, smokehouse almonds, wild flower honey, and melted brie cheese grilled brioche bread – PURE FREAKIN’ HEAVEN – I’m in love with this sandwich…

Drippy, Greasy, Cheesy, Messy… and oh so good!

Deep Fried 4 Cheese Mac-n-Cheese Balls ($4.00) – with black truffle compound butter – tempura battered and deep fried. These were comfort food at it’s best. I ate one and that was plenty – I was stuffed, but NEEDED to try them and I’m glad I did.

News 10’s Suzanne Phan showed up to do a story on the event and the mobile food movement. I finally got the chance to meet Kimberly from Poor Girl Eats Well – we share a mutual friend and I’ve been hearing about her for years. I’ve also been following her blog for a long time and love it. It was really cool to meet her. The camera man grabbed her to film her biting into her Drewski’s sandwich. She was helping Ms. Munchie with the tweet-up event.

Tomorrow’s SactoMoFo festival is probably going to be a complete zoo. I’m really looking forward to trying some of the menu items from the out of town trucks. Thankfully, Foodbuzz featured Spencer on the Go at the Foodbuzz festival last November, so I can skip that one.

I really hope SactoMoFo helps gain public support to change the existing ordinance – food trucks have to move every 30 minutes – that makes it pretty difficult to cook and serve the kind of food these trucks are creating. It’s obvious that the interest is there –  just follow both trucks on facebook and twitter and you will see.

Hope to see you locals at SactoMofo and I hope to grease up the blog with more sinful food porn after Saturday.
