Winter Feast

Whoever thought that the already popular Fremont Sunday Street Market could get any better??? How about throwing in a little beer tasting and 15+ food trucks!?! Yeah, that’ll do it!
I’ve been following the «Mobile Food Truck Rodeo» since 2011 and have been more than happy with their recent developments! No longer charging for admission, additional food trucks and a better choice of venue (s).
Food trucks started rolling in about 10:00am which was about the same time my anticipation started to rise! My friend and I visit the market on a regular but hearing that there were going to add 15+ food trucks to the mix made us that much more excited! The line up consisted of a few regulars, such as Snout & Co, Street Donuts, Veraci Pizza and Tandoozy with addition to Crisp Creperie, Xplosive, Jemil’s Big Easy, Grilled Cheese Experience, Wiseguy Food Truck, I Love My GFF, Jerk Station, Buns, Curry Now, Raney Bros. BBQ, Bistro Box, Street Treats, Falafel Salam, Chicarepa and Los Agaves.
The food trucks provided a delicious aroma which flowed throughout the market and almost made you forget that it was raining! The indoor market, including a few food trucks provided a little shelter but Tandoozy was sweet enough to provide two covered tables for our convenience! Having tried a little something from most of the food trucks, we found ourselves returning to the wonderful Tandoozy for their «Everything Naan»! My friend lloves it with «everything» which includes rice, chicken and chutney but I’d be satisfied with just a simple serving of their Naan drenched in their olive oil, garlic and cilantro sauce! YUM!
A few trucks provided «specials» just for the event and we just had to try «The Bomb» from the Grilled Cheese Experience. «The Bomb» was a buttery grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with oxtail and mac n cheese. A little rich and heavy for our pallets but knew we were going to walk it off with a stroll through the market!

Traditionally, gatherings of food trucks are not held in December. That’s why I was excited to hear about The Winter Feast & Beer Festival.
I am often at Fremont Sunday Market anywhere from one to three times a month. Having food trucks there is just an additional incentive for me. The weather today was much better than I expected. I was there for 3 hours or so and it didn’t rain very hard. It was a little cold and the heaters that were added a few weeks ago were absolutely perfect for today. You could order your food from trucks, then wait under the heaters to keep warm. It was pretty sweet.
The Red Door Ale House had tasters of beers. It was nice that we were able to take our food truck food inside to sit down, keep warm, watch the ballgame, and chill out.
Unfortunately, the jacket I had my eye on was not there today but I did talk to the vendor and hope I can buy it next week.
For those of you who know me, you know I’m into food trucks. Today, I visited Street Donuts for their first return to Seattle since September. They had a seasonal peppermint and chocolate flavor but my heart belongs to cinnamon and caramel. Fantastic as usual!
The Bistro Box was in the house with Arancini (fried risotto balls). They were fried crisp and full of creamy mushroom risotto. At $ 6.00 for 2 balls — I was totally full!
Jemil’s Big Easy brought peach cobbler to the party and I was all in!
I wasn’t sure how an outdoor event in December would go but I think the event had a little something for everyone — food trucks, shopping, and beer. What more could you ask for?
