The food truck season

Crab wontons 

Spring and summer is the time to enjoy road side food. We had the opportunity to do just this when we attended the Bull Run Food Festival in Northern Virginia.

While we sampled a variety of wines from different wineries in the region, we quickly gravitated towards the food trucks camped on the hill overlooking the festival. The cuisines on offer included Puerto Rican, Greek, Vietnamese, Venezuelan, Cajun, and southern American.

Borinquen's lunch box offered traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. We tried their chicken empanadas and were delighted. They represented a steal at a price of 4 dollars a piece and were, as far as i could tell, authentic.

Arepasone specialized in Venezuelan. We ordered the arepas - grilled crunchy corn patties made of corn and stuffed with chicken salad, shredded cheddar and avacados. At Deliciousdisheva, we tried the crab wontons made in a American Asian fusion style. We washed all of this down with Wildbills olde fashioned soda pop Co., which offered endless refills of root beer, vanilla soda. All are recommended if you are looking for an inexpensive, but flavorful option for your lunch hour meal.
