Birthday Dinner in the Parking Lot

My birthday came on the same night of the week that the gourmet lunch trucks come to the 99 cent store parking lot in Highland Park.  So off Tim and I went to celebrate hoping the lobster truck would be there.  It wasn't but other trucks looked inviting and the crowd was out.  

We walked around checking out each truck.  The plan was to choose two different entrees and share in order to try a variety of the diverse foods offered.  The Korean truck, Belly Bombz was tempting for their wings and sliders.








We both chose Piaggio- a truck offering food with an Argentine accent.  The meats were grilled with an Argentine sauce and served with a quintessential gaucho condiment of chopped parsley, oregano, garlic, and lemon juice. The man taking orders wore a tee shirt proclaiming him to be the Piaggista.  

This was my choice- pork sliders cooked in the Argentine sauce and served with the gaucho condiment.Then of course there was the dessert truck with cupcakes, brownies, and cookies of tempting designs and colors and aromas.
