Food Truck Bazaar ... oh my!

The girl running the Crepe Company food truck had a knitted hat on, so this post qualifies as random, and yet also knitting-related. And I bought a lot of yarn today, so there's another tie-in to this mostly-knitting/spinning-blog-which-sells-itself-as-"random".

Sooo many choices here at the Food Truck Bazaar in Orlando, Florida. The mall sucked, so we came out to the parking lot to watch the trucks roll in ... an hour early. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Look for details about what we bought after the pictures of the trucks.

As I said, these were all food trucks based in the Orlando area, and there may be sister trucks of the same name in other places. I won't provide links because they're all Googlable and the more you dig, the more you'll find.

Star-rating system:

*** Good

OH MY GOD, BLOGGER, HOW DID YOU EAT THAT MUCH!?!?!?!?   Well, I didn't. I had six friends along with me and we did a lot of sharing. We bought from a total of 15 trucks and it was all money well spent. Don't go to a Food Truck Bazaar on your own, dear readers.    :O)
