No Meatballs, But Good (Asian) Spaghetti
…The noodles were very tasty, possessing great varieties of flavor and little residual all. So impressed was I, in fact, that, although in my culinary maturity I’ve learned to accept tofu, this was the first time that I’ve actually enjoyed it!… [cont.]

Keep On Truckin’
…I grabbed a maple-bacon wafel for myself, and another with a side of their famous spekuloos for my fellow staff members who were already at the restaurant for brunch service, while making suggestions to some of the trucks first-time customers recommendations on what combinations of wafels and dinges (toppings) they should try….
