Cocktails at BreadBar

The most fun I've had so far prepping for our dinner at BreadBar for the Hatchi Truck Stop has been making up these here signature cocktails. This Thursday, the 28th, is the only time you can try them, seeing as there's no such thing as a food truck liquor license. They both use ingredients (poblanos or our Cock N Bull Ginger Beer) that we feature on the truck. They're also both pretty interesting but don't worry that they've been randomly thrown together. I tested each one. Again and again. And again.

The "Rajas Margarita" gets interesting but not overbearing flavor from poblano chiles. The base is silver tequila, light rum, and St. Germain (mmm, elderflower) with citrus and sage.

The "Arnold Alcohalmer" starts with black tea infused vodka and lemon. It has cardamom, honey, mint and rosemary and a good splash of ginger beer. And I can't believe we actually named it that.

Habanero Carnitas Fries

This week's special is fries with carnitas cooked with habanero chiles and orange juice. It's got Jack cheese. Then, cilantro and radishes cut the richness and heat. Note that these fries are spicy. Not cartoon-steam-coming-from-ears-and-nose spicy. But hot enough.

Munchin after Dark

There's a new food truck event on the Westside. This Friday night, come visit us and some of our friends at the Westwood Presbyterian Church. We'll be slinging fries from 5 to 9:30p!
