brew-tasting and food-trucking

We had company in from out of town most of last week - what is becoming an annual visit from E's best friend. This year he brought his best lady with him and we had a fun week hanging out. (plus their three-day trip to Zion)

in Coronado on Saturday

We heard about a beer tasting with food truck down in Mission Bay and headed over for the evening to Ballast Point Brewing Company.

I tried a blackberry ale (yum) and an IPA with lime, ginger and szechuan pepper (interesting)

The food truck with Miho Gastro Truck. Alex and I each tried the grilled peach burger with gorgonzola, and E had the lamb meatloaf sandwich. Both were top-notch.

I wish SD's food trucks would come further up to North County, but on the occasions we get down to one we always love the food!

    How is it that you ALWAYS post the most amazing looking food? Seriously drooling. Need a beer! Those fries look amazing.

    I love your outfit, and that burger sounds so yummy! I wish we had food trucks around here too! In the city I'm sure they have them, but what about in the burbs!? :(
