Today our culinary adventures took us off the beaten path to an area where food trucks are not the norm. Residing next to a live edge furniture store is Bend's newest food truck, and we think it is now one of the best. The Wagyu Wagon features the amazing quality Wagyu beef from 2Sisters Ranch which focuses on caring and sustainable ranching to produce the best quality beef possible. We can honestly say, this care that has gone into the ranching was absolutely reflected on the taste of our Wagyu Burger. 

The first thing we noticed when approaching this truck was its simple, limited menu. This allowed us to really narrow down what we wanted quickly and also showed us the care and thought that went into each piece. For our first burger experience, we had to tr...

For a blast of flavor, a bite of paradise, and a tingle of spice, look no further. Our food journey has brought us to one of the newest food trucks in town and this did not disappoint. The new Shimshon Food Truck, featuring Israeli street food in the Mid Town Yacht Club, was such a wonderful taste experience that we highly recommend it if you are looking for something with a totally different flavor profile. 

When we arrived at the Yacht Club, we instantly spotted where we were to have lunch. The truck was so wonderfully decorated with brightly colored pomegranates and a fun two tone paint job. We appreciated the simple menu and explanations of what the sauces were on the menu board. Needless to say, we wanted to try a few different items and each was excellent. 

First we ordered the Shimshon Bowl with Chicken Shawarma, Zhug and Toume sauces, and Z...

Feeling the lockdown blues? Getting that wanderlust itch? Us too. Recently my co-worker and I have discussed and fantasized about spending a long weekend in Mexico eating tacos and drinking cerveza on a warm and sunny beach. Obviously that trip wont be happening, at least for us, for some time. After that conversation, we got a craving for authentic street tacos. For months now we've been reading rave reviews about the Sopa food truck located at River's Place Tap house--so naturally we had to see if this place would satisfy our craving. 

This family owned food truck offers innovative, modern Mexican cuisine with a few classics. The classics are what we came for but the innovation is what blew us away!

You know you're in the right spot when the person after you is ordering in Spanish. 

Lets start with the beef Quesatacos; I know what you...

Our never ending food journey in Central Oregon has brought us to a little food truck in one of Bend's newest food truck lots - Crosscut Warming Hut No. 5. This charming location is modeled after the warming huts in the Deschutes National Forest that many locals and tourists alike snow shoe, ski, snow mobile, and maybe even dog sled to during the winter months. We felt the atmosphere was warm and inviting and we cannot wait to sit inside by the large fireplace when COVID allows again. However, despite not being able to use the indoor space, they had many tables set up outside with appropriate distancing, various warming options, and three food trucks. On this food adventure, we tried Abe Capanna's Detroit Pan Pizza + Italian and they did not disappoint us.

With a variety of pizza opti...

I know many of us feel like 2020 has been full of challenges with the restaurant industry having more than most. We love to support businesses who are making the best of a tough situation and figuring out ways to still serve the community. Our latest taste of the town was the Brown Owl in the Box Factory above the Old Mill. 

Despite a strict order to not allow indoor dining, The Brown Owl has managed to create several intimate outdoor spaces that provide for proper social distancing and spacing around a wonderful center fire pit that keeps the whole space toasty despite temperatures being in the 30's. We were on the hunt for a quick bite and a drink and The Brown Owl absolutely delivered. 

For beverages, we went for the classic Hot Toddy which featured wonderful honey and lemon flavors that were on point for a cold winter day and we also tried their featured "Snow Fall"...
