The last time we mentioned a "truck party" here, it was a two-part taste test featuring the
gastroPod and
Latin Burger. That was more than half a year ago, and since then several more food trucks have started up operations in Miami. In fact, the
twitter list of South Florida food trucks I've compiled now numbers more than twenty, though not all of those are in regular circulation (and conversely, there are others who shun contemporary social media such as
Twitter in favor of - I don't know, paper cups and string?). As I
mentioned Friday, several of the food trucks were gathered in Haulover Marina Park on Saturday for the
South Florida Dragon Boat Festival, and I stopped by for some more samples. There was not much in the way of dragon boats actually racing when we were there at mid-day, but there was some good eating.
One of the newest trucks on the block is the Dim Ssäm à Gogo truck from
Sakaya Kitchen. Chef Richard Hales has been doing a fantastic job at Sakaya putting out creative, vibrantly flavored, Korean-influenced food (my raves over his "
Dim Ssam Brunch" and the
regular menu have already appeared here), and the Dim Ssäm à Gogo takes that show on the road (I think I've now officially used up every corny "street"-related reference). On board, Chef Richard Hales is offering a nice short-form sampling of items from the restaurant menu, both some "greatest hits" (Korean Fried Chicken, Honey Orange Ribs) and a grab-bag of other creations.
Family Frod split some KFC, a "K-Dog," and some "Covered & Chunk'd Tots."
