What do you get when you bring together two of Aggieland’s finest and most famous mobile vendors at one of the finest Breweries next door to the only Distillery with live music and out door games for kids? A really, really fun event. The very First Aggieland Food Fight today was a massive success with some twists. I will announce the winner at the end of this review.(Don’t cheat and scroll down!) Episode #1’s ingredient was Ginger. I HATE ginger(or thought I did). Big Daddy Z’s truck sold out and we got the last servings of their fare. Amazing tacos and the use of ginger was one off and fun. I personally love this truck as it allows me to travel in flavors. I have eaten at it many times while on Northgate, I know that Blake started the kitchen at Blackwater Draw and this truck is a TREASURE in Aggieland. Mind blowing flavors of unique Island style fusion. And then there was Lew’s BBQ. Wife says they win with food as the ginger glazed smoked chicken was best food on site. So whom really won? I’m calling it to Perrine Winery. The food trucks tied. Perrine Winery won the event with a white Zombie that perfectly tied in with ginger. Can’t wait for the 2nd one of what appears to be a very successful event. Bad weather was predicted, it didn’t happen and the news weather guy still has his job. There could have been 6 trucks and likely will be more next time but having only two was perfect. Speaking from experience I ate at all 14 food trucks in Hartford CT and it took 2.5 days. Having attended the Texas Food Truck Showdown in Waco a few weekends ago, 35 trucks don’t allow you to taste all and whom can eat that much to even know how to vote on the real best of? Aggieland Food Fight was a massive success and a fun event. So much fun and such good food. And extremely fresh local beer. And local wine. And local spirits. What a hoot!
