As I mentioned on Jan 1st, along with Blogathon, I am starting this year with Blogging Marathon and the first week theme is American Street Food. :-) I count say no to that them. I have been to other states of US, but never ventured about the food much. So the three dishes that I am planning to do will be California’s street food which I am more familiar with. :-)
So coming to Californian food, you can see a lot of Mexican influence and in SFO bay you can find a lot of fusion food too. Our favorite hangout place is University Avenue in Palo Alto. You can find Indian fusion, Umami burgers, crepes, Burmese, Thai and what not. Summer evenings are the perfect time. Listening to the music bands and having food is always bliss. For typical Tamil Nadu food, you have south bay where you can find Murugan Idly Kadai, Aachi’s aapa kadai, Madras Cafe, Saravana Bhavan, Komala Vilas and more. El Camino Real in Santa Clara is known for its food places. :-)
Besides fast foods and restaurants, food trucks are very popular here. I love food trucks and especially Taco trucks. Food trucks have their own schedule and they post well ahead where they are going to be and you can plan accordingly. One of my favorite food trucks is 333. It’s a taco truck and they do fusion tacos like Paneer Tikka Taco and Korean Tofu tacos. I love these two tacos very much. Today’s dish is going to be Korean BBQ style taco. Basically the Korean sauce is sweet and spicy. It’s a great combo with the tacos and Kiddo’s loves this dish very much.
The base vegan bbq sauce recipe is taken from here. I slightly modified the version and went with what I had. But I am using silken tofu so that I can crumble it easily. You can always opt for extra firm tofu too.
Interesting read on the street food of CA. Any vegetarian street food is welcome here!!
Thanks. Me too any vegetarian, I am all for it
