Mabel on the Move

Decided to give this food truck a try because it's adorable. And I'm kind of shallow like that. It's a tiny Airstream trailer hooked to the back of a van. The vintage, shiny, adorable trailer is white on the inside with red polka dots. As soon as I saw the polka dots I knew I'd made the right lunch decision.

I tried the chili cheese dog ($4) and the hamburger ($5). Overall I was happy with the food. The chili cheese dog was a heaping mess of goodness, but the paper it's wrapped in doesn't really do the job of holding that wonderful, tasty mess together. (Maybe aluminum foil would be a better choice? Jus' sayin'.) The hamburger was alright, not amazing, but decent. Not very greasy (yay!) and served on a pretzel bun. Which MADE MY DAY. Plus they have lengthwise cut pickles. Score. My tummy is happy.

Bonus: They take Visa and Mastercard.

Had the buffalo mac and cheese at the First Friday Food Truck event and I gotta say I'm in love with Mabel.  I wish she came out more as I haven't seen her much since then and I'm jonesin for some mac and cheese.  Please Mabel, move on over by me!

Good prices and "Mabel" is super friendly.  The tomato caprese soup has fresh basil leaves and balls of fresh mozzarella.  It has the consistency of pulpy orange juice.  One of the best soups I've ever had.  To get it out of an AirStream trailer is pretty surreal.  

The buffalo mac and cheese has shredded chicken and blue cheese crumbles.  Sooooo tasty.  

The hot dogs are all beef and all organic.  This was the one thing I didn't care for.  To be fair though, I had given up carbs (what an idiot) and had it without a bun and with only a smidge of ketchup.  However, hubby finished it with the bun and stone ground mustard and proclaimed it fabulous.  

I've always been too full to try one of her desserts.  Next time!!!
