Stop #1: The Dump Truck

The Dump Truck is impossible to miss.  Painted in a bright yellow and black that is reminiscent of a toy dump truck you might have played with as a kid, this place serves up a variety of dumplings that are paired with different sauces to compliment and bring out their flavors.

The truck is run by a young couple who at one time lived and worked in Bejing.  While there, they fell in love with a dumpling restaurant and apparently demonstrated enough loyalty and passion for the food that the owner taught them his secrets.

I ordered the Super Sampler, which allowed me to enjoy two of each of their savory dumpling selections -
Mr. Ma's Special, Down to Earth, Potato Curry and Bacon Cheesburger.  Respective accompanying sauces (which are kept in squeeze bottles out front so you can take what you need) are Sweet Chili Hot Sauce, Tahini Chili Sauce, Coconut Yogurt Sauce and a Secret Sauce (which is related to, but much better than ketchup.)

I wasn't sure about the bacon cheeseburger but it actually ended up being my favorite.  The only downside to dumplings is that a walk back to the office through a cold wintery day made them colder and stickier than they are meant to be served.  Nonetheless, a great way to start things!
