Renown South Florida blogger, Burger Beast, brought the Burgie Awards back for a sixth year.  The Burger Awards, which awarded 15 prizes for the best in South Florida comfort food, as free and open to the public.  It was a great opportunity to catch a lot of the food trucks that I hadn’t gotten a chance to try in my travels.

Don Mofongo came to represent, serving up their mofongo.  Sadly, it wasn’t as good as I remembered it being.  It was a little bit dry and crumbly, and the pork was also a bit dry.

I have been chasing Ms. Cheezious for a looong time, but they never seemed to be within proximity of me when I am available.  Did my bacon and cheddar on Texas Toast merit all of the type?  You’ll have to see for yourself.  I’m too busy licking crumbs off of my shirt.

As a die-hard frozen custard fan, I normally turn my nose up at Gelato and sorbet.  But, when one of my travel companions tried a Blood Orange popsicle from Hip Pops and declared her intent to have her way with it, I just had to see for myself.  My chocolate-dipped cappuccino gelato pop was, in many ways, an eye-opening experience.

The return of Velvet Creme donuts was a topic of much heraldry.  And, who DOESN’T like a good donut!?  Sadly, the donuts themselves tasted very close to Krispy Kreme, which I don’t like at all.  I tasted nothing but shortening, and my companion said that they left a film in her mouth.  However, fans of Krispy Kreme will go nuts over these donuts, as evidenced by the ridiculously long that this truck had the entire night.

I didn’t want to leave without having at least one serving of tacos.  Because, tacos are a textbook example of street food!  These tacos weren’t particularly remarkable, and I ended my evening on an average note.

For the adventurous types, there were plenty of “off the beaten path” food offerings.  A certain someone got her hands on a Paco (pancake taco),  It was, according to her, like eating a fat crepe.  Well, alright then!  Poor Paco didn’t stand a chance….

This was a fun event, and the weather was great.  I hope to attend next year.  Thank you to all of the food trucks that attended and offered us some grub!
