I was really excited about Iggy's Texatarian because the thought of vegan food that wasn't all "healthy" was really appealing and uncommon. The ladies who started the trailer really have a unique concept. As they write, they blend "traditional Texas culture with progressive dietary choices," and they do just that. However, it's just not as good as the real thing. It was a great night though and I think we all appreciated trying something new. Also, the little food trailer park it was in on E 6th gave us ideas for future meet-ups.

Well, we faced nature and ate delicious sushi all in one night. We had a special, out of town guest, Brittany! She came all the way from San Francisco just to partake in Foodie Foodcarts! Come back again soon Brittany!
Although our night (of eating) was cut short due to rain, I think we all got a chance to eat some of the food from Sushi-a-Go-Go and man, it was delicious! My personal favorite was the Summer Time Roll and the shumai shrimp dumplings. Also, although I didn't try them, I believe the octopus balls were a group favorite. Even though the rain cut my dinner short (reason to go back!), I was not at all bummed that the night transferred into a foodie house party :)
