The Foodbuzz festival! Meaning...FOODBLOGGER ROAD TRIP!
It was to be Mattatouille, The Kung Food Panda and I, squeezed into the Food GPS mobile--an Acura RSX for five hours straight...
It was not long before we stopped for our first pit stop while speeding along the sunburnt asphalt of the I-5 North: Titas Pupuseria, a Pupusa truck?
A new potential post or a habituated Double-Double? It was Pupusa time!
Menu wasn't half bad, offering a couple of other cool Salvodorean options
Of course, we all opted for its national dish.
Loroco: A flower bud used as a herb. The flavor is really light and subtle, just a vaguely faint tarragon-like taste.
Each order took around ten minutes to make, then I saw why and did not mind the wait. Each turnover had a guaranteed part of the cheese that would be purposely oozed out and left to be turned into a small crispy piece of golden goodness.
The pickled, shredded cabbage slaw known as Curtido also was a step above others I've had around town. Matt and I agreed that it was not too different than a form of Kimchi.
A surprisingly delectable find in the land of franchise driven "T.A" travelers centers.
Next stop...San Francisco!
