Today we had the pleasure of trying a newer food cart in Downtown Bend and I highly suspect we will be back to try more. The Dinky Dau was a pleasant surprise during our extremely busy Friday that was quick, under $10, and packed full of flavor. Featuring Banh Mi sandwiches, rice bowls, and other Asian inspired delights with various proteins including lemongrass pork or tempeh, ginger chicken, umami meatballs, tangy jackfruit, or a wok-fried omelet. 

Overall, we found our lemongrass pork banh mi sandwich to have wonderfully seasoned and cooked pork, the right amount of acidity from the pickled onions, cucumber and jalapeno, and a wonderful flavor profile overall with the cilantro and sauces. This cart is located behind Sport Vision in downtown Bend on the corner of Oregon and Irving and is the perfect option for the busy workday or person on the go.

Tried and true, this great brunch spot in town continues to deliver excellent customer service and great dishes with seasonal vegetables.

Every time we venture to The Victorian Café we comb through the menu -  should we get the breakfast burrito? Any of the benedicts? Maybe some pancakes? Not this time! The specials' menu, which is swapped out regularly, caught our fancy.

We decided on the Veggie Hall Hash because- why not? Loaded with seasonal veggies, added mushrooms, and topped with fried okra our taste buds were satisfied but it was the drizzle of chimichurri sauce that knocked our taste buds to next week! We'd highly recommend this dish to anyone headed to "The Vic" but make sure you get there soon...or this special may already be off the menu!

We also had to...

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...
