Food Carts = Fat Kid Reunion

Finally, a true Fat Kid outing- Off the Grid!  Off the Grid is a local association of mobile food carts that host weekly events throughout the San Francisco.  They host these events in "food deserts"- places with a lot of people, but few restaurants.  They host an event every Friday night out at Fort Mason.  This is the largest event with over 30 street food vendors and live music.

A group of Fat Kids decided to have a mini-reunion Friday night at Fort Mason.  It was a beautiful day in San Francisco and we hoped to take advantage of the sunshine.  After battling to find a parking spot, we realized that we weren't alone in this logic.  Although it was ridiculously crowded, the Fat Kids weren't deterred- we toughed it out and braved the lines.

First up, the JapaCurry truck.

So, I was starving at this point and forgot to take a picture.  Aftermath picture coming though.  They only had one food option, so the line was relatively short.  They were serving Katsu Curry and you had the choice of Pork or Chicken.  Super tasty sauce.  

Next up, the Curry Up Now truck. Here's the menu:

So their signature item is a Tikka Masala Burrito.  Genius.

Needless to say, I was pretty excited.  The dark horse, however, was the deconstructed samosa.

The pictures don't do it justice- seriously, so good.  It was almost like a chili, but better.  Hard to describe, but just amazing.  Would definitely order again and absolutely worth the wait.

We decided to divide and conquer, so a few of the other Fat Kids visited other trucks.

Korean tacos.  I'm not sure what the truck name was, but this got good reviews.  One of the tacos was really, really spicy, so word of caution to those who don't like hot sauce.

For dessert, we hit up the Creme Brulee cart.

Flavors of the night were nutella & strawberries, chocolate, caramel, and vanilla bean.

Needless to say, it got rave reviews. 

A shot of the nutella flavor.  Pretty tasty.  By the way, the Creme Brulee man charges $5 a pop.  The line was 30 people deep for the entire two hours we were there.  They must have been brining in cash hand over fist.  Starting to rethink this whole law school thing. 

Overall, a good food night.  Next time, we are going to try to make it right when it opens to avoid the lines.  Hope that it makes the whole experience a lot more enjoyable.  Nonetheless, a fun outing.
