Stop #5: Korean Burritos


Korean Twist offers up a Korean/Mexican fusion bonanza. Tacos, burritos, etc. but all served with meat prepared in a Korean style, with much of the garnish associated with Korean cuisine.  To be honest,  I didn't know that Korean Mexican fusion was a thing....but apparently it is.  With good reason.

Korean Twist is the first truck where, not sure what to order, I decided to ask the extremely friendly and personable young woman taking my order which menu item she prefered.  She quickly answered that she liked the spicy pork.  Intending to keep my carbs low, I ordered a Spicy Pork burrito bowl.

It was awesome.  A ton of food (with rice of course - so much for low carbs!) with lots of flavor.  I haven't often eaten Korean food, so this was a fun adventure in something new.  If I were to go again, the one thing I would change would be to ask them to leave off the mayonaise sauce - mayonaise being one of the very very VERY few foods I don't particularly like.  (It was between the spicy pork and the lettuce underneath.)

I think I will be making the "What's your favorite?" a thing from now on.

Stop #4: Thai Chicken and Rice



Nong's Khao Man Gai always has a small crowd gathered out front, waiting for their food.  The young man who takes the orders is a show unto himself, shouting out to people and being strikingly friendly and engaging when you order.

Nong's Khao Man Gai serves only one thing really - Chicken and Rice, with some cilantro and cucumber, with a side of chicken soup.  And their special sauce - oh ther special sauce.  So garlicky you don't want to be making out with someon who didn't order alongside you, but so so so delcious.





The chicken is fantastic - sustainably raised Mary's chickens, boiled and cut up for you.  And if memory serves, you can have white or brown rice.  You also get to select dark or light meat (or a combo) and they wrap it up for you in a neat little package:

Lunch is simple, but hearty and delcious.  There is a reason there are always people waiting....
