Alright alright alrightttttt
Today me and my mom drove out to Arcadia for the Route 66 Balloon Festival… and of course to see some food trucks.
First stop: Hotroddogs. One I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. Got the MacDog — hot dog covered in mac and cheese and Hot Cheeto dust. If you think my back is big from that, I also got the chili dog and the Birriadog. Tried each of them with my mom and my niece, but the Birriadog? Oh boy. That one was mine. Birria beef, cheese, cilantro, onion… gawddd. We all agreed we want to try everything on the menu.
And I wasn’t done. I’m 6’4 and built like a linebacker. I stay hungry.
Slid over to Cali4Ya LLC. Got to know them, talked about the app a bit, and ordered the al pastor quesadilla and the carne asada fries. Pause. Look at the pictures. Holy sh*t, the pictures still don’t do it justice. This quesadilla was huge. Loaded with cheese and al pastor. Perfectly crisp on the outside, cheese melting like traffic cones in July. I fell in love with this quesadilla. I did not share it with my family. At least I left her most of the asada fries — which were freaking good too. Their meat is so good. Pause. No Diddy. That was some true flavor.
You think I stopped there? Hahahaha.
Slid over to Five & Two Mobile Kitchen. Got the Ranch Hand — loaded potato with steak, caramelized onions, horseradish mayo, and a lot of melted cheese. Listen… it wasn’t horrible. I’m just not a loaded potato person. I keep trying them and it’s just not a me thing. Customer service was excellent though. I let my mom and niece enjoy that one. I know the sandwich version would’ve been so good. Idk why I keep trying to make myself like dang potatoes.
Slid to the left and stopped at Mad Mamie's Yum Truck. Grabbed a Nerds Bomb Pop and three waters. (I only shared the waters. Hehehehe.) Throwback to chasing ice cream trucks as a kid… and I wonder why I like food so much. Been chasing it since I was little.
Which leads to the next stop. Yes. A mf can eatttttttt.
Butter & Brine Food Truck. One of my favorites. Glad I saw them there this year too.
Listen to me right now. If I am ever having a last meal, it is this exact order again, to the T, fresh off that smoker and those pristine fryers.
The giant beautiful Texas Tw***ie. I’m talking a giant jalapeño bursting with smoked brisket and cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, slow smoked, finished with that mouth-watering BBQ glaze. Ouuuu I’m slapping my knee thinking about that dang thing right now. Good god.
Also got the wings. Perfect crisp. Juicy. Bathed in brine. Pop Sauce. Buttery Cajun. Sweet. And the fries… oh god I love those fries. I love their food. 10/10 again.
After that we left Arcadia and drove 30 minutes into OKC for
Brasco’s Chicken & Waffles.
I thought I was gonna try something light. Hahahaha. It smelt pretty fire. Got the 6-piece garlic parmesan wings, a waffle, and the boudin egg rolls.
You ever eat something so good you could slap ya mama? (Sorry mama.) That was it.
Those wings were so crisp — like a cornstarch crisp — with that syrup on it. Mmmm. And that waffle. That waffle was the slap-my-mama part. So good that when my mom tried it I got sent back up to get just a waffle for her (she was already full from everything else).
And those boudin egg rolls? Shiiii. They have Cajun Friday down. They were sold out of the boudin stuff before we even left the parking lot.
That’s the day tho and maybe 30lbs of weight. Arcadia to OKC. Hot dogs to Tw***ies to waffles. Mom, niece, and a 6’4 linebacker built boy who will not be stopped.
