On the first day of Vancouver’s Street Food City 2 and typical of Vancouver, there was a downpour. Although it was a little slower than the first year it was still bustling with hungry patrons. With 13 food cart vendors to choose from all at the same location, it’s a great way to try out all the street vendors at one go.

Vancouver Street Food City 2 Festival:

January 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
11am – 3pm Wednesday through Friday
11am – 5pm Saturday and Sunday

Location: Vancouver Art Gallery

I figured the pics will be enticing enough that you would want to get food cart grub yourself.

A popular food cart in downtown that features pulled pork burgers. It’s rich and very filling. Overall, this was very good however, after 5 generous bites I started to feel sick. We all agreed it was very saucy making the buns a bit soggy. If you are a meat lover I definitely recommend visiting Re-Up food cart.

All vegan food cart down on Pacific.

On a ‘delightful’ rain storming day I was welcomed into the world of vegan. Some background info, I am a 100% card carrying, riffle wielding (ok jk on the guns) meat lover.I used to scoff at my vegan friends offering them my veal or even worse real chocolate cake. (I am still not convinced there is any comparable vegan substitute for chocolate). Although I tried a pretty close substitute from Zimt, Orange Chocolate Bar. You can check out my review.

Vegan dishes had to be damn phenomenal for me to even consider it passable.

I had Simon and Rachel who persuaded me during our Food Cart Crawl to try the Loving Hut.

See look how loving they are….

The onion burger was the key to my world of vegan’ess. It was extraordinary. The patty was moist, BBQ and mayo sauce gave it a nice tangy richness. Finally the onion rings…who doesn’t like onion rings. It added an extra layer of flavor and crispy texture.

The chicken burger was also very good but, cannot compare to the onion rings burger.

Disclaimer: the onion burger is really messy. The sauce and crumbs were dripping everywhere. It is totally worth the mess

Japadog’s famous fries have been receiving so much hype, “it’s the best in Vancouver”, ” awwww it’s better than Mc’D's”. We decided to research the accuracy of these testimonials.

Japa Dog Menu

No complaints on the price $2.39 a container. It might have been due to the hype that raised my expectations to an unachievable standard but, what is the big deal with these famous fries? Kentucky Fried Chicken’s tastes better than this. Of course KFC’s fries are basked in chicken fat. mmmm… If you do end up ordering the fries, I recommend the wasabe mayo.

Japa Dog & Famous Fries

We ended up splitting the tonkatsu Dog-5.95. Hint of sweet plum sauce, as far as dogs go this was pretty decent. Now for the price at $6 a pop, it is expensive. That being said, it is an iconic Vancouver food cart, so you give it try.
