Mobile Food Rodeo!

I really, really, love May. It is starting to be consistent with its sunny weather, making weekends much more enjoyable.

This was an exciting weekend in the Heinrich home because our dear friend Spencer (who happened to be our officiant at our wedding) was in town from NYC. We usually only get to see him about twice a year (although this year we are lucky and will get to see him 5x) so we always make sure we have something fun planned. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with some yummy Mexican dinner, and spent the day making margaritas and hanging out with a big group of our friends. I am also declaring my new margarita recipe worthy enough of the phrase "knock your socks off". I will post the recipe tomorrow to share with you all :)

Anyways, back to focusing. The day after Cinco de Mayo Kirk, Spencer, Steve, Katelyn, and I started our Mobile Food Rodeo adventure. We had bought VIF (Very Important Foodie) tickets, which were $25 which got us into the event with a limited crowd, ensuring we wouldn't get stuck in any ridiculous lines. While some say $25 might not be worth it, since it is a free event... they are wrong. There was an app doing a promotion called LevelUp where they gave you a $5 credit to over half the food trucks! I think overall I spent $5 maximum on all the deliciousness we had throughout the day!

Now my turn to be awkward with my VIF pass
When we could, we would try to split things so we could try a nice variety
Of course Katie and I being Cheeseburger Princesses had to share this "cheesy" burger from Buns. Which apparently has been voted top 5 in Seattle.
So happy. Oh and PS they had homemade ketchup which was AMAZING. Tasted super fresh with no corn syrup and all that other fake ish.
Steve trying something from the Jamaican food truck. I think it was called a beef patty? Kirk really enjoyed it, but the rest of us were not "over the moon" about it.
 You can't really see it here, since Spencer is demolishing it, but we had cookie ice cream sandwiches from Sweets on Wheels! I think Spencer got a double chocolate ice cream sandwich. The rest of us shared shortbread with blackberry and salted caramel ice cream.
The sunny weather was the perfect excuse to stop by the beer garden!
Overall, super delicious and we were so happy that we got VIF tickets. We left right as the event was open to the public, and the crowd was already getting insane!

Till manana...
