lower cape for this sampling feast. We've toyed with the idea of starting a food truck business. My mom was keen on gourmet hot dogs while I pushed for popsicals (exotic and homemade). Alas, our days of making millions off of a fleet of aluminum trucks is but an entrepreneurial dream. Until then, maybe I'll saunter down to exit 3 and sample the gourmet offerings of these great food trucks. Plus, with live music, face painting and balloons - this is a great way to break up the sometimes seemingly endless car ride to the Cape.
I would love to try out the offerings of Bon Me - offering Vietnamese inspired fare. How good does their sandwhich sound? A toasted baguette filled with pickled carrot and daikon, cucumbers, cilantro, red onion, housemade mayo, housemade pate with your choice of spice rubbed chicken, bbq pork or tofu and shiitake mushrooms. I'd wash that down with a tall glass of Thai basil limeade thank you very much!
