Stumbled upon a mini festival happening at south Lake Union today. There were people walking in a parade-like group with signs saying March for the Forest. One guy was covered in plastic garbage bags that were tied together and made to look like fur, yelling at random walker-bys. Wish I took a picture.
What really drew me was the circle of food trucks in the gravel parking area. There were 5 in one spot and in Vancouver, that’s a rare sight. It’s happened, but rare (something I think Vancouver is actively working on by continuing to expand the food truck program!- fingers crossed).
What I had: Yeti from Bigfood.
Yeti $9 – braised (bigfoot) beef with curried fruit and slaw on grilled flatbread.
The softest ‘flatbread’ I’ve had. I’m not sure why they called it a flatbread. It was more like a pita – reminiscent of the pitas from Nu street cart, but, dare I say… better just as amazing. The beef was flavourful and melt-in-your-mouth tender. There was bits of chopped mango with lightly curried apricots and raisins on top that worked perfectly on top of the crisp, creamy slaw. I’m a sucker for pulled pork so I cannot wait to go back and try the “Sasquatch $9 – spicy pulled pork shoulder with green mango chutney and slaw on grilled flatbread.”
What AR had: the cheesy from BUNS.
the cheesy (all burgers come w/fries) – $11
1/3 lb all-natural, grass fed beef patty with beecher’s flagship cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles & buns sauce.
I only had a bite of the burger, but OH MAN was it good! Juicy meat & sauce drippage, melty cheese, and soft fluffy bun! Yes, I’m making up words to describe the tastiness that was dancing in my mouth. It did take almost 15 minutes for the burger and fries, but it was worth it for that one bite. I like the fact that they list all of their ingredients in their ingredients on their website 
(ex: the burger bun is made from unbleached enriched flour, milk, butter, eggs, sugar, salt, yeast, vanilla (no nuts) from Grand Central Bakery in Seattle.) Their fries were great too. One drawback to the burger was that it was on the small side; although, that could just be compared to the lower-quality monsters that don’t come close to this gem.
