Thanks to everyone who came to this week's FFC meetup and welcome to two new members Lexy and Madison! This week was a little different than the last two weeks because for the first time we weren't floored by the food. This is good because we want some sort of balance or scale to rate things on, right? Pick up Stixx offered good, solid kebabs, just nothing mind blowing. Lots and lots of options to choose from if you like variety. Four different kebab options with probably 15 sauce options, think of all the possibilities! However, the other items on the menu, the sliders and pierogies, were very delicious. I highly recomment the pierogi with prociutto (only $1.50!). At the end of the night we all left stuffed and not too broke so I say you get your bang for your buck (yup I love that saying). I don't give this cart a thumbs down, but I don't give it two thumbs up either and all in all, the "more" outweighed the "kebabs."

The second meetup for foodie food carts was another success. The food that we ate at odd duck was definitely different and adventurous but I think we all can say it was delicious. Before that night would I have though a soft boiled egg on grits would be good? NO! I wouldn't have been able to get past the soft boiled egg..... but it had us all going back for seconds and thirds. Also, quail! I am always intimidated by animals that I haven't eaten before but a lady in line said her baby ate it so I had to do it, and it tasted delish.
We also had a mini Gourdoughs preview which was exciting. We tried a few of the meat/donut options such as mother clucker (fried chicken on a donut) and also one that had bacon and pepper jelly on it (surprisingly good!). I can't wait until we hit it up full force later on!

Lucky's Puccias

Wood Fired Italian Sandwiches

Parking: No
Bathrooms: Yes
Alcohol: Yes
Cash Only: No
Seating: YES

Our inaugural Friday Foodie Foodcart (F3) meetup was a complete success. Thank you Ashley, Clayton, Ray, Maggie, Sarah, Christina and Curtis for coming! We dined at Lucky's Puccias (pronounced poo-chas) on 5th Street next to The Tiniest Bar in Texas and together came up with a rating system that we will use to critique and discuss the food that we will eat. Also, the name of the group is a work in progress, but I think I like the "F" theme. I was thinking Foodie Food Cart because we are being "foodies", but also the Friday is helpful in that it designates when we meet up. However, it is a mouthful....
