skinny FAT girl was experiencing a bit of the spring fever today. I brought out the spring jacket, wore my cropped jeans, and then chased the ice cream truck down the street. After about 5 steps, I remembered I don't run anymore, those Track & Field days are long over. So, instead I text my buddy to find out if she was in the mood for some fatty fun. And in true hungry friend fashion, she was totally down.
An absolutely fabulous little burger joint. Upon arriving, we knew it was going to be good. Any place that has a line on a Monday night is golden. We decided to divide and conquer. Xtina waited in line to place our order, while I stalked a young couple for their table. After some evasive maneuvers, I was able to secure a prime seating location. We waited for our little shack shaker to buzz, bouncing in our seats because we were so hungry!
Finally....it arrived. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait.
The break-out star in this performance?....the cheese fries! I mean don't get me wrong, the burger and shake were both amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of oozey cheesy and a warm soft bun. The shake was delightful. It had a dark chocolate flavoring, and was just the right consistency. But the fries....oooohhh the fries. They were salty, cheesy, potato flavorful presents in my mouth.
So, honestly what could top such an evening? A stop at Bed, Bath, and Beyond perhaps? Ummmm, yes please. There is something about that store that makes you want to buy random crap that you don't even need. I had to hold my self back from purchasing an avocado slicer and a GIANT cupcake pan. So you would think that would be the end of a fantabulous evening, right?.....WRONG!
This my dear friends, would be a Waffle (wafel) truck. Now, normally I don't usually run towards the mobile food carriers. However, I just recently read about this particular truck and the sweet smell of breakfast/dessert food was hard to resist. After a thorough explanation of the menu from the friendly Wafel Server, I happily decided on the Liege Wafel with belgian chocolate fudge and strawberries.
CUE HEAVENLY MUSIC "HALLELUJAH"
Oh dear sweet waffle, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... The strawberries were fresh, the waffle was warm and sweet, and the chocolate was divine. I suggest everyone to look out for this truck. On Monday nights, its parked on Broadway between 62th and 63th Street.
And so begins the FAT adventures....
