Happy New Year and delicious paninis!!!! Austin Daily Press was the perfect last meal of 2010. Warm, melty, crunchy and delicious. The cart has a lot of hype because it was on the Great Food Truck Race on the the food network http://www.foodnetwork.com/the-great-food-truck-race/index.html. I can't believe I didn't know that show existed! Anyways, the service was great but unlike other carts we've been to, this is street food dining, not trailer park dining meaning that there's no seating area or bathrooms or BYOB. But it's worth it and I'll be back.

Although this truck doesn't look like much from the outside, the food that comes out of it is impressive. The menu was very limited, and nothing was vegetarian (sorry Clayton) but everything that was served was gourmet. Fried chicken (that did not lose it's crispiness ever!), sliders on steamed buns (amazing), and tongue (Aaron likes it!). However, the best part of the night was when we were served our sweet potatoes. It was placed in front of us and then a blowtorch was used to melt the marshmallows! Right there on the table! Amazingly great presentation.

Probably my favorite food cart so far, Izzoz Tacos is a place I will continue to go back to. First off, the owner was so incredibly hospitable. He came over and chatted with us, delivered our food, gave us magazines, and even told us other places to find great tacos around Austin. The location, a little trailer food park on S. 1st, was very comfortable with lots of picnic tables and lit by some Christmas lights. I think a group favorite was the fried avocado taco. OMG it was perfect. This food cart has been covered over and over again in different publications, and it's no wonder why, because it's amazing. Go There! http://www.izzoztacos.com/index.php
