SACTOMOFO 3 — Everyone made it out, Even if they were Towed there!

BACON, BACON, BACON

So there was a wealth of foodie talent, in abundance at this event, New (Bacon, Bacon, Bacon) and Old (Chairman Bao, MiniBurger) — but it was the cold (location), the consistency (Chairman Bao), and the effort (Seoul on Wheels) that stood out!

There was a great many trucks that looked great to try, like the one above but the lines were so intense just in the beginning and it was quite cold, that it didn't bode well for my resolve. Leaving me hoping that I'll get a chance to hunt them down sometime soon!

This really was the little truck that could! It broke down and was towed ALL the way from Noe Valley! Not only were people wondering if they were going to make it, but when they did show up they broke through the two-hour wait Chairman Bao line! Calamity ensued! People be calm, it's just a food truck! but you should have hear the comments:"What the hell, you were behind me not in front!"

— I didn't really care about any of that as I was at the front of the line at this point, post my own 2-hour wait! But from jumping on the Bao truck for a bite, to hooking up their generator to get going it was a determined effort from these owners and cooks
— FOOD TRUCKS GET IT DONE!

After the truck was posted up the line literally formed out of nowhere, and the organizers showed up and said "it's going to be about an hour before they will even be ready to serve!" Nobody moved. Unfortunately I wasn't even able to stay in the cold, wind tunnel that the underpass of the freeway had become because of a timing commitment, so my line-cook friend stayed and was underwhelmed with the temperature, consistency and overall flavor? Maybe it was just too much to live up to with the wait?

That was the line, no joke! and I got there at 10:45 AM! before the gates even officially opened! this trucks always brings the crowds, but I've got to say they also never disappoint — there food is consistent (this is big) and fantastic! I'm a HUGE fan of pork belly, and the crispy tofu and miso greens were sooo good, they might have been even better?
