Say Fish Taco Truck

So it's week 3 as a Californian, and I have yet to get food out of a truck. So tonight I went to Fresco Market in the Monterey Hills, and there they were!
I forgot it was Monday, and they have food trucks there every Monday night from 5:30 until 9:30.
I was there to buy stuff to make a salad, but that plan side tracked quickly.
Out of the 3 trucks that were there I chose the truck with the fish tacos. Only because out of the options, that's what I wanted.
I read the menu and decided to go for what seemed to be their most popular dish. It's called a "Sayulita Fish Taco" It's fish, deep fried in an old school dark beer batter, original SFT sauce, shredded cabbage, salsa, and a homemade corn tortilla.
And I got the combo, so it came with fries :)
Not as healthy as the salad I was going to make, but it was only 6pm, so it's early enough to have a little fired fish.
Anyway, let me just tell you that I wish I had ordered 5 of these tacos!
First lets talk about the sauce. It was the first thing that I tasted. I have no idea what it was. I wanna say it was mayo based, but could very well have been crema based. whatever it was, it gave me just the right amount of circle in my mouth to start eating this taco. Next to hit my tongue was the salsa. That was great too. Only a little heat, so there could be a little hot sauce added to this taco, but the salsa was good. Hoping that was homemade too.
Then the fish.... it was NOT greasy or weird like I've had on so many other fish tacos. It was light and fresh tasting, and the batter was delicious.
The cabbage added a great, and traditional crunch, but what really sealed the deal was the homemade tortilla!! Oh my gosh.. it's been a long time since I had a tortilla so perfect. It was soft, and flavorful. It didn't break apart, and wasn't super chewy either. I don't even really know how to explain it, but after the other great flavors of this taco, it just seemed perfect.

That's really all I can say about these tacos. I'm so happy that I decided to stop by the truck. I will definitely be back for more.. A lot more...

Actually there is something else I can say about the taco. And the fries for that matter. Even something to say about the way it was plated and wrapped up to go. 
It really showed that these guys give a shit about what they are doing. There was love in the food, the platting, and the way they interacted with people.
Super well done guys! See you soon!

If any of you wanna check them out, here is a link with all their info including where they are going to be parked this week.

Orange glazed chicken with Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Autumn Brown Rice.

First of all please allow me to apologize for the picture quality. My camera was dead when I went to take a picture, and we were far to hungry to wait for the battery to charge, so I used my iPhone. It’s not terrible, but it is not great either. Now… to the food!!! I originally wanted to try this dish with duck breast but it seems that, even at Whole Foods I can't find any duck breasts. I did find a rather large whole duck, but I didn't get it because it would obviously be too much! So I went for chicken breast. Since I was looking to have that fatty flavor that duck naturally gives out I chose to get the chicken breast (3 breasts) with skin on. I couldn’t find skin on without bones, so I had to debone the breasts at home. It’s really easy to do. You just guide your knife along the rib cage and you’re all set. First preheat your oven to 375 and get started on your rice. I chose brown rice, but any rice you prefer will be fine for this dish. I followed the directions on the bag,

The All Powerful Sauerkraut!

Image
So It seems that I am the last person on the planet to know about the AMAZING health benefits of Sauerkraut.  To be 100% honest our dog got really sick this week and we were researching how to help him out without having to spend a fortune at the vet's office. We kept reading that the dogs health and overall well being started off with how his gut was, and what was going on in his digestive track. JUST LIKE PEOPLE. And the way to make sure that your gut is healthy is probiotics! One of the easiest, and least expensive ways to get billions of these things in you a day is with eating fermented foods like Sauerkraut.  Here is a link to a REALY interesting article  I found about the science of probiotics, mental health, gut health, becoming healthier.  In a much shorter intro to the benefits of Kraut, here is the gist of it from another article I read pertaining to people as well as animals: History of Sauerkraut Although many people think of sauerkraut a

Espro Coffee Press

Hey guys! I'm back. Sorry I have been gone for such a long time, but here I am, and I'm ready to start talking about food again! Food, and drinks, and a few new tools that I got recently that have changed my life!!! So to start off I want to introduce you to the Espro French Press. This has changed my mornings for good. Normally I am a Starbucks in the morning kind of guy. I do not enjoy making my own coffee, and it never tastes the same as it does when I go to the coffee shop. While we were living in LA we had a k-cup coffee maker and that was nice enough. I used it often, but still loved to take a ride to Starbucks. Now we are back home in NYC, and our kitchen was too small for a coffee maker. So every morning, right after waking up, it was time to head out and walk the 2 blocks to get our coffee. That was all fine and good, but something happened... that something was called WINTER!!! Ugh.... living in LA for a while we forgot what that trek in the cold was like. We nee
