Mama Kim's Korean BBQ

This little food truck has been getting raves from all sorts of web sites and has been tough for me to track down. But today I was successful in getting out of the office for lunch and finding myself eating an awesome lunch at a great price.

The photo above is of Beef Bulgogi, served with rice and Kimchi. Lots of beef simmered and juicy packed with a fragrant rice and a side of the spicy cabbage I've become addicted to. The price is right too. Six dollars for the Bulgogi. I had to get a selection of their dumplings as well which are hand made and crispy light and delicious.

I will have to control my lunchtime spending if they stay parked in their downtown location - a few blocks from where I work. Twitter and Facebook tells you where they are and what specials of the day they're serving.

Hewtin's Sausages

Yes, summer is defined (for me) by the return of the scant selection of Street Food ® that Providence, RI is known for- Del's Frozen Lemonade, Palagi's Ice Cream and an occasional variant of these two. I don't like either which is why I am really happy for Matt Gennuoso's Hewtin's truck. Every decent day from around June till it gets too cold in September he's been sending out a truck to Lippitt Park across Hope Street from his East Side restaurant, Chez Pascal. This week I discovered he's started a sausage business, too- a truck that's been making what he says are "test runs" to local bars (like the Scurvy Dog) in the evenings. Not one to get out much after dusk, I got to try one of his sausages today for lunch (this one Asian themed with cucumber slaw, pickled pineapple and peppadew peppers)- yum.
