Food Truck Friday: Hey You Gonna Eat or What?

“We’re kinda backed up right now and you have quite a few people in front of you. Are you okay with that?” That statement alone is how you know you have stumbled across a badass food truck. A mid-afternoon on a Friday is just as busy as some of the more boutique brick-and-mortar restaurants found… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Hey You Gonna Eat or What?

Food Truck Friday: Ms. P’s Electric Cock

There is nothing quite like Ms. P’s Electric Cock (I HAD to). I mean, how can you not giggle when you say that name? But look a little deeper and you will find some of the best freaking fried chicken in Austin – and that is quite the feat. It starts with a small grumble… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Ms. P’s Electric Cock

Food Truck Friday: Melvin’s Deli Comfort

It has just been a food week here on Over Yonderlust and I’m glad that you’ve come along for the ride. When I get hungry, things get a little weird ‘round these parts as I’m screaming “LETS GET SOME FOOD MOFO!” while we’re hauling ass down the road and simultaneously trying to figure out what… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Melvin’s Deli Comfort

Food Truck Friday: Stonehouse Wood Fire Grill

People somehow think there is rhyme or reason when it comes to our weekly food truck pickin’s – but I’m here to rock your world and tell you that is not the case. When the hour comes that my stomach becomes vocal, I listen to it. This week, ZsaZsa wanted BURGERS. The rest of my… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Stonehouse Wood Fire Grill

Food Truck Friday: Sambets Cajun Roadside Cafe

Something funny has happened to us since we started this Food Truck Friday series. Shaun and I used to be content, just minding our own business, driving down the road. Now my eyes dart around the side roads and alleys, scouring for our next food truck experience. This is how we happened upon Sambets Cajun… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Sambets Cajun Roadside Cafe

Food Truck Friday: Oyama

One of the challenges of this Food Truck Friday series is that, while Shaun and I are from Austin, we currently live on outskirts of town (due to uber cheap rent). So every week we have to make the 15 mile trek back into town to get our hands on some good eats. This week,… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Oyama

Food Truck Friday: Svante’s Stuffed Burgers

I have the unfortunate burden of being a complete burger snob. I have successfully steered clear of burgers from McDonalds in the past 15 years and recently, I’ve been on the search for the perfect burger. Burgers, tacos, and pizza make the trifecta of food perfection. During our foodie adventure through Austin food trucks we… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Svante’s Stuffed Burgers

Food Truck Friday: Veracruz All Natural

I’ll be honest here. I’m a picky bitch when it comes to salsa. I live in Texas, the heart of TexMex and fab salsa that will knock your socks off and burn a hole right through you if you eat too much. I have high expectations – and rightly so. But I admit, it has… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Veracruz All Natural

Food Truck Friday: East Side King

This week we are doing something a little bit different and are deviating from our Food Truck Challenge. When friends are in town, we like to really bring it up a notch and decided on hitting up Chef Paul Qui’s East Side King at Liberty Bar. In true Austin fashion, this is Asian fusion at… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: East Side King

Food Truck Friday: Spartan Pizza

Shaun and I putted up to the 6th and Waller food truck park on our scooter, nervously eyeing the sky. “We’re done with rain for today!” proclaimed Shaun. I wasn’t so sure. With a quick glance, I noticed that we weren’t in too much trouble heading to Spartan Pizza. This food truck part in Austin… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Spartan Pizza

Food Truck Friday: Burro Cheese Kitchen

It was my turn to pick the food truck this week. What did this lactose intolerant girl pick? My holy grail; My forbidden fruit; Burro Cheese Kitchen – the one and only artisan grilled cheese sandwich spot found on our culinary list. With no Lactaid in sight, I shrugged my shoulders and dove right in.… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Burro Cheese Kitchen

Food Truck Friday: Way South Philly

I furrowed my brow as I tried to understand the name of our most recent food truck, Way South Philly. Ooooooooh…. Like, as in, Austin is South Philly! Har har! I looked at the menu in a slightly horrified manner as Cheese Whiz made itself known as the main topping for most cheesesteaks. At least… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Way South Philly

Food Truck Friday: Three Little Pigs

Texas may be known for beef, but that doesn’t mean pork has to take a back seat ’round these parts. That is why this week’s installment of Food Truck Friday has us (us, in this case, being Shaun and the roommates as Erica is still out of town) visiting the pork haven known as Three… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Three Little Pigs

Food Truck Friday: Llama’s Peruvian Creole

Adventure, danger, hilarity, consuming internal organs- this isn’t just any old Food Truck Friday post. So grab a bowl of popcorn and preemptively sit on the edge of your seat, because this post has it all (also, it has food). “I’m heading out. You’re on your own tonight.” Those were the last words Erica said… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Llama’s Peruvian Creole
