Bacon Mania Baby

Baconmania is a truck out of Costa Mesa, California that is crazy about one thing, you guessed it, bacon. From Bacon Balls to Bacon Popcorn to a Bacon Smoothie, these guys have got all the bacon bases covered...in bacon! From there we pull up to the Curbside truck in Baton Rouge whose plan is to improve the classics in every way they can. The Buttermilk truck in downtown LA is our third stop and they decided that breakfast was such an important meal it should be served all day, and if you taste their Red Velvet Pancakes, you'll understand why.

Gourmet Good & Evil

In Denver Colorado, The Inventing Room is the coolest cart in town, featuring deserts that are 'cooked' with liquid nitrogen. Next, we heat things up with The Burnt Truck in Irvine, California where small is beautiful as they serve up bite size sliders with comforting toppings like PB 'n' J and Buttermilk Fried Chicken. After that we roll into Baton Rouge, Louisiana for some alligator tacos at the Taco De Paco truck, Mexican flavour with real bite. Final stop in this episode is deliciously devilish as we drive to Austin, Texas to taste hot dogs that are b.b.b.bad to the bun at The Evil Wiener truck.
