Wise Barbeque

This was my ONLY option at the Riviera Country Club during the Northern Trust Open, and while the menu seemed a bit limited for my diet, I made it work!
My stomach was initially talking for me when it was finally my turn to order my lunch… It asked for 2 chicken breast… However, when told that would be one pound of meat, my brain chimed in and said, I’ll just take a ½ pound. No need to be INSANELY FULL when I have a whole day of walking around a golf course ahead of me… Plus, 1 pound of chicken would have cost me $ 28, WHICH IS INSANE! Now if said chicken was the fountain of youth and I were promised to live forever, then maybe I would have done it, but no, no such promises were made!
I gave the food truck my name and about 7 minutes later, my name was called and I was given succulent slices of chicken breast (no BBQ sauce) along with some broccoli slaw (they didn’t have any dressing) and 2 measly slices of pickles. From the looks of it, this meal did NOT SEEM WORTH the $ 14 price tag, however I have to admit… This chicken was JUICY & TASTY… AF!
I sat down in order to enjoy the bird, and boy did I ever. I definitely recall saying to myself: «I should have gotten the full pound.» Alas, before I could say Bubba Watson, my chicken was all down the hatch!
I’ve never eaten at a food truck before this experience and I have to say… This was some of the best chicken I’ve eaten before in my life… And that includes all standing restaurants (well minus Spitz but of course).
If I ever see this truck around again, I would definitely consider eating at it again, however… I still can’t get over the $ 14 price tag, so maybe not.

Just happened upon Food truck day located at the Babies R Us parking lot in Cerritos.
This was only one of at least 10 other food trucks.
I did have a hankering for Texas style BBQ.
A ²⁄₃ pound of brisket with two sides (baked beans, Mac and Cheese, included two sauce styles and three large pieces of white bread, jalapeño and slices of dill pickle) was what became my shared dinner.) — cost $ 20 + tip.
Brisket: tender, very appetizing char, sliced into manageable pieces — no knives needed! I thought both sauces were a little on the sweet side, and not as spicy as I was hoping.
Beans: sweet, with a hint of hot spice.
Mac & cheese: tender, rich, although not that gooey. Oftentimes, the macaroni tends to be over done just sitting in the sauce, but this had a little bite left to it, although not really al dente.
