Greetings, Eaters and Readers!

I roped Martha into joining me on a Witchy Wednesday night at Trucks and Taps Patio one hot July evening. With no preconceived notion as to which food truck either of us would choose, we both zeroed in on Burning Bridges for no other reason than it sounded the most appetizing on that particular evening.

But first, look at these pretty blue drinks!

Witch’s potion ($7) — vodka, lemonade, blue curaçao

If you’ve not been to Trucks and Taps, they have a bar in addition to their resident and rotating food trucks. On this particular evening, they were offering an on-theme drink called Witch’s Potion. A simple mix of vodka, lemonade and blue curaçao – this summery beverage was sweet and citrus-y. We slurped them up in no time. 

Crab Rangoon Burger ($14) — 1/4 lb burger patty, rangoon filling, sweet chili sauce, sesame ginger slaw, wonton strips

I’m not sure why the flavors that make up crab rangoons are so versatile. Crab rangoon pizza. Crab rangoon fries. Both excellent. And now, a crab rangoon burger. I was instantly on board to try it out. 

Burning Bridges really did this combo well. You could taste each individual flavor – the rangoon filling, the wonton crisps, the burger and the slaw. They each complimented one another perfectly and I ate it in a matter of minutes. 

Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13) — Gluten free chicken dunked in Korean chicken sauce, sesame ginger slaw

Hot off the tails of our visit to Tsao Cha, both Martha and I were pretty sure we would enjoy anything that described itself as Korean fried chicken. Or at least, we felt we should try it to add to our growing list of Korean food experiences.

The sandwich takes a moment to make since it’s cooked fresh for each order. When I picked up the basket and brought it back to where we were sitting, we were both shocked at just how big the chicken sandwich was. Covered with a pile of ginger slaw, it dwarfed the bun and the rest of the items in the basket. It was hard to know just how to get started on the behemoth of a sandwich, but once Martha found her first bite, she could hardly stop. Perfectly hot – both in temperature and spice – she thinks it was one of the best food truck sandwiches she’s ever had. Neither of us knew just who would eat what when we ordered – both sandwiches sounded delightful to both of us. But it worked out that I enjoyed the burger and Martha enjoyed the chicken sandwich.

Final Bites

I love that Burning Bridges offers gluten free options on all of their chicken sandwiches – both bun and breading. We didn’t try GF buns, but you certainly couldn’t tell the difference in the GF breading on Martha’s chicken. So if you live that gluten-free life, you’ll definitely want to find their truck.

It’s hard to go wrong with a food truck, right? They focus on a few items and do them really well. We’re glad Burning Bridges was there on our visit to T&T Patio – and we hope to find them there again.

Cheers!
