FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD TRUCKS!

At last Saturday's Manayunk StrEAT Festival, there were more food trucks lined up along Main Street than I could count...or taste-test for that matter.  Yes, my usual favs were there, Jimmie's Cupcakes, Joe's Spuds, Mac Mart Cart and Vernelicious, but someone (sorry I can't remember whom) suggested I try Nomad's...the amazing pizza truck with a brick-oven built right inside (that's just cool right?).  Well, thank you fellow-foodie because I believe it was love at first bite...the heaven's opened, the angels sang and for the time it took to eat 2 slices of pizza pie, life was beautiful! 

Perhaps it was the anticipation because just as my Promo Intern got back to our table and sat the pizza down...old friends of mine arrived and we were chatting it up for at least 15-minutes. While we spoke, I looked over their shoulder at least once a minute admiring the artisty of that pizza, longing to take a bite, listening to my stomach growl, hoping they didn't notice how distracted I was the entire time.

Then finally, I got my first bite of what is without exception the BEST brick-oven pizza I have ever tasted!  NOMAD's...if you see this truck out on the street, any street, do yourself a favor and pull over to place an order, even if it means cutting someone off - it's THAT good!  And special thanks to Manayunk Development Corporation for putting together such a great foodie (food-truck) event.  Make sure you head to the Yunk through this Sunday and enjoy lunch or dinner at any one of the fine establishments on Main Street for Restaurant Week...life is short folks...have the pizza!

Just Another Reason to Celebrate CAKE!

Recently judged for City of Hope's "Let Em Eat Cake" event and while this cake didn't take the grand prize I gave it high praise in the cool and silly category.  Great Event for a Greater Cause!
