Today's post is bittersweet. Following food trucks on facebook, I always catch event flyers on the news feed and today's event really caught my eye. Pulled Pork-O-Rama featuring food trucks like Grouchy John's Coffee, Slidin' Thru, The Rusty Pickle, Ben's BBQ & Smokehouse and Haulin' Balls. Being my usual forgetful self, by the time I realized this event ended at 2pm it was already half past one~! I booked it to the other side of town in hopes they decided to stay a little later. When I finally parked, most of the trucks had already started packing up but wait a minute, what luck! Haulin' Balls is still serving??
Oh most of the menu is sold out...hmm...they still have pulled pork nachos? Well pulled pork, that's the whole reason I came here!
I've never actually had anything from Haulin' Balls, and even though pulled pork is a normal part of their menu, this little plate of goodness was "pulled," out for the event. The pulled pork is smoked for 12 hours served over tortilla chips then smothered in nacho cheese and bbq sauce. The pulled pork was tender with it's own profile of spices and just a hint of smoky flavor. The bbq sauce was very sweet and actually mixed well with the nacho cheese. Jalapenos on top with green onions and cilantro added that extra bite to the heap of pork and cheese. The flavors are familiar but the presentation and fusion is exactly what you'd like from a popular food truck, and for $5 this was a pretty good deal.
Although I basically missed the event, it's nice to know these events are going on and I will be keeping an eye out. Next time I'll try and be on time to nurse that craving!
