Well it has happened there's finally a food truck out there that I will check for their location. SOTSOT offers authentic Louisiana cuisine red beans and rice, jerk chicken to die for, and Po-boys. I visit the Crescent City at least once a year and on a more personal note I took a visit one month before I was born. This type of food is in my top three and SOTSOT to me is number one in the Circle City.
Sure there are places like Yats on College and Mass Ave, Papa Roux on 10th and Post, and the Ragin' cajun kitchen in Broad ripple. I have tried them all and the one that tops the chart is obvious Some of this Some of that.
Yats is a good go to I'm not knocking it  I have a plate of Yats once every two months or so. Papa Roux is something else I have had their sausage po-boy and it was great however the Po-boys at Some of this Some of that still rank the best. Oh and the Ragin' Cajun Kitchen by far the bottom rung of the cajun cuisine of Indianapolis. their bo-boys have too much bread and not enough flavor and their jambalaya was nothing to write about...(No wonder it closed)
If you are in the mood for some Louisiana cooking find out where SOTSOT is parked at and check them out Jerk Chicken is the recomendation with red beans and rice.
Probably the best Cajun food I have had in Indianapolis. That says something about the Cajun food in Indianapolis, but it also says SOT SOT is pretty damn good.
I lived in Texas for three years and have been to New Orleans 3-4 times and am pretty familiar with good, authentic Cajun food. The $7 jambalaya reminds me of what I used to get in Texas and Louisiana. And the price is right.
Check it out if it's in your neighborhood.
Jerk chicken! Â Cooked perfectly and quite delicious. Â Comes with a very generous helping of red beans & rice (TIP: add the hot sauce from the counter before walking away), plus a nice chunk of cornbread (wonderfully sweet to balance out the jerk spice).
I'd absolutely order that chicken again. Â Best of all, I think the woman working the window was just about the happiest person I've ever encountered in a food truck ... stop by SOTSOT if you need very good cajun food with a smile.
Imagine my delight as I exited The Vogue, hungry and tired, and there before my eyes was SOTSOT. Â This was a food truck I had yet to try so my excitement was that much more intensified. Â While not exactly the best truck option for a vegetarian, they do have excellent Red Beans and Rice as well as CORNBREAD. Â My first cornbread bite seemed a bit dry...and then I took a second bite and realized that the cornbread was THE SHIT. Slightly sweet and obviously made with love. I ordered a second portion before the first was even devoured. Â My boyfriend had the catfish po'boy which was shoved down the pipes in a matter of seconds. Â Good work, SOTSOT! Â You have a loyal customer in me, even if my options are limited!
Review Source:I just got back from a huge lunch at SOTSOT (acronyms!) I am stuffed, but super happy. We ordered almost everything on the menu, literally. Crawfish po'boy, jambalaya, red beans and rice, sweet potato pie, and top it all off with a couple of lemonades. The side of red beans and rice was huge and served with corn bread. I could have just ate this as a meal, but I would have missed out on all the other deliciousness. It was perfectly prepared. I think next time I am going to out a dash of hot sauce on it, I like my red beans and rice a little on the spicy side. Corn bread was soft, dense, moist, and perhaps bits of jalapenos. The crawfish po'boy was HUGE! Lettuce, tomato, a ton of freshly fried crawfish, a secret spicy sauce, all nestled in a toasted baguette. I could have eaten the bread alone, the secret sauce, or the crawfish alone. Together it was....... AWESOME! The bread was chewy and maybe a hint of garlic butter and it held up to the mountains of crawfish and sauce. Be prepared to be messy while eating this sandwich, I don't suggest eating this on a first date. After 3 bites of this gargantuan I looked like a baby on their first b-day - a happy, huge mess. Now on to my personal favorite, the jambalaya. Perfectly seasoned, not too spicy and anything but bland. Chunks of sausage, chicken, peppers, onions, and the perfectly cooked rice. There is no way I would add anything to this. This is the best jambalaya in town, hands down. I would even put this up against some of the jambalaya I've had in New Orleans. It makes me smile just thinking about it.....mmmmmm. Top it all off, it's only $7!! Don't forget the sweet potato pie. Crust is nothing to write home about, but the filling is where it's at. It's not listed on the menu, but you need to order it! Â Cinnamon and nutmeg merge perfectly with the sweet potatoes giving rise to one scrumptious piece of pie. Reminds me of my grandma's b/c there were little pieces of sweet potato, not a perfect pureed filling. One more thing, the duo inside the truck. Dad and son, I love it! Â Always with a smile and genuinely happy to be there. I have a better time enjoying great food when I encounter someone who is happy to be doing what they are doing. I am already planning my next visit!
Review Source:Food Tried:
- Homemade Jambalaya ($7)
I had the pleasure to know about Some of This, Some of That, before I think even they knew how awesome they were going to be. Every year in Indianapolis, they host Black Expo in July, and have a huge party on the American Legion Mall right downtown. I just happened to be out and walking with some friends after (funnily enough, cajun/creole food) dinner, and we passed a Nawlins food truck. I stopped by, but didn't buy anything, because I was stuffed full of étouffée. The next morning, I tried vainly to find said food truck on Twitter (haven for all food trucks) with no luck. It wasn't until Gen Con a few weeks ago that suddenly a new name appeared: Some of This, Some of That! Finally! I got to try the new food truck, on their second night on the streets--the first being the night I saw them at Black Expo.
Some of This, Some of That. MOUTH-WATERING. GENUINE. SPICY! I had the jambalaya, which is garnering rave reviews, and for good reason: this is the real deal, but even better. Sausage, chicken, rice, a creamy white sauce, all packed into a take-away box for enjoyment hot or cold. I mean, this was seriously the best cajun I've eaten, and I've been to New Orleans. I can't wait to try the Po'Boy, because that's another staple food that it would be naturally hard to make amazing via food truck. I have faith though. Some of This, Some of That is operating in a niche, and doing a damn good job of it.
In terms of pricing, Some of This, Some of That is completely comparable with other food trucks in Indianapolis. And, their servings are very generous. I ate my jambalaya in two sittings, not counting the amount that I shared with friends over the course of the portion. All around, highly delicious and worth the dinero.
A few tips!
1. Be prepared! I was sad to wait an hour for my food because you ran out--just a warning, and I'm sure you're getting the gist now having been on the streets for a few weeks, but we Hoosiers seem to LOVE our food trucks!
2. Recyclable containers, por favor?
3. A shnazzy website! And a menu that's rip-roaring for internet users everywhere, and also changes a bit here and there. Keep the staples, rotate the rarities.
