    I'm partial to food trucks. Food trucks that serve poutine. I'm in. Is it original Montreal type poutine - No. But and this is a good but, although they use melted cheddar cheese, the grilled onions, the home made gravy, top that with their sweet pulled pork and perfection. It just works. The Chicago style dog is humongous- but it's not Vienna Beef and I can taste the difference. Vienna is better

    I was pleasantly surprised when I chose this food truck to get lunch from one day. I liked the variety of hot dog styles that they offer, with "Chicago Style" of course being one of them. So yes, I went with the Chicago Style dog and the hotdog had the delicious "snap" to it when bitten into. The condiments and toppings that came with it was nice and fresh. I ordered the combo which came with fries, and those fries were delicious. It was nicely salted and crisp, just the way I like them. I dont normally like paying more than $8 for lunch but can see myself splurge a little for a good hotdog. I see myself coming back to try their other hotdog styles that they offer.

    Look for their sign!

    It definitely hit the spot! The food truck was parked right outside the Art Institute, with bright bold colors painted on the truck. Very inviting after a morning full of walking and taking in some art at the institute. We ordered Chicago dogs (beef) and European Fries. Nommers!! Good flavor, just enough toppings and made fast and to order. Good portions and friendly service. I would recommend it especially if you don't want to go through the hassle of finding a restaurant, waiting to be seated, ordering, etc. We grabbed a seat in the park right next to the Institute and enjoyed our Chicago dogs. Try them!

    Solid Chicago hot dog and Polish sausage. Toppings were good and generous. Fries were fresh and hot (add your own salt). Can't complain!

    Through my Facebook feed, I saw that the Happy Lobster Truck would be parked in downtown Highland…read morePark, IL, so the Hubby and I were excited to try something new. Since their website mentioned they could sell out, I preordered and prepaid online for a 5:30 PM pickup. Unfortunately, when we arrived, our order wasn't ready, which was disappointing because preordering is supposed to save time. There were only about four other people waiting and two employees working the truck. We ended up waiting close to 20 minutes for our food. As for the meal itself, the lobster was fresh, buttery, and flavorful. I wish the rolls had more of a toasted crispness, they were squished flat. We also weren't fans of the coleslaw because it tasted overly vinegary, maybe it was just an off day? We would have preferred some crunchy french fries versus the Cape Cod Chips. The highlight of the meal ended up being the chocolate whoopie pie for dessert -- absolutely delicious! Not sure if we would try it again?

In the meantime, Dwellsocial occasionally offers it as one of the city restaurants they deliver to the suburbs. I've now ordered Happy Lobster twice thru Dwellsocial and it certainly makes my family happy. My 9 year old isn't the only lobster lover here; our entire family of 5 is a fan. They provide easy instructions on how make your own lobster roll (see attached). It takes just a few minutes. And it's SO delicious! My 9 year old thanked me both times i've ordered it and that's a rare occurrence in this house. I hope to visit Happy Lobster in real life one day, but in the meantime will keep ordering it into my home!

I think vendors underestimated how many offices are starving when it hits noon. I liked that there was variety although I wish there were more. Perhaps that would have decreased the wait time. Since it was so long and I didn't want to spend 3/4 of my hour lunch waiting, I ate somewhere else. Mayor Emmanuel and other city officials, I hope you looked outside your windows today and saw the crowds at Daley Center. More food truck friendly events and laws need to be enacted because come on, who doesn't love food on the go? Looking forward to the next one with my office!

Today's rally features two sandwich makers, one empanada truck, and two sweet choices (donuts and cupcakes). I guess I would appreciate more savory choices. I wonder if the trucks are taking turns or have to apply for a spot to set up on the plaza. This was pleasant. I would recommend stopping by if you're not rushed for time.

At first, I was like, "Hey, get me a sandwich." But when we got there, it looked divey, so I said, you know what, let's see! We grabbed a high-top table, but listen: seating is limited, okay? Don't come in there thinking you finna have a whole big, huge party! It is a small space, but we were able to secure our seats, watch the cooks do their thing, and order our food. Everything came out relatively quickly. The whole place has a fun vibe. Pictures on the ceiling, bright colors. Of course, the name Devil Dawgs made me think about the Marine Corps. If you know, you know! I had the Dragonfruit Shake, and oh my goodness. My husband had the Maxwell Street Polish, which I absolutely loved seeing because I grew up eating them. I used to get mine off 95th & Dan Ryan.. so that brought back some memories. And Hubs tore that thing down! Now, my hot dog? Listen, the picture is diabolical, okay? But it was EV-ER-Y-THING! I need to sound it out phonetically because it was literally everything, okay?! It was loaded, messy, and doing exactly what it needed to do. And listen, I am perfectly fine with a messy dog as long as it is good, and it absolutely was! The food came out quick, fast, and in a hurry. You won't be sitting around waiting forever. If you need to catch a plane, train, automobile, or whatever else, you are going to get where you need to go because that food is coming out, okay? If we ever come back to the area, we are definitely hitting up Devil Dawgs again. For sure!

I admit it, I ate my fair share of crepes in Paris, and my God are they so delicious. These crepes rivaled anything I had in Paris. I was so overwhelmed with the options, that I went full on fatty & ordered the Eiffel Tower special... 1 savory crepe (bacon, egg, cheese) + 1 sweet crepe (strawberries, nutella) + fries for $14. I was justifying it by being all "I'll eat the savory one for lunch and save the sweet for a snack later." Needless to say I scarfed them both down within 30 minutes. Absolutely delicious... and super friendly/fast service. Look for the truck with legs & thank me later!

I've had my fair share of crepes in France, and this compares favorably with anything I've had back there. The ingredients are fresh, very tasty, and the menu offerings for both savory and sweet are enough to satisfy anyone's desires. I personally absolutely love how Jo listens to his patrons. A couple of days ago I asked if by any chance he might have the combination of lemon and brown sugar. Two days later there it was on the menu! There was apparently another customer who asked for it. Stellar customer service right there! My colleagues and I have tried La Parisienne (Ham, Egg, Mushroom, Freshly grated Mozarella, and Spinach), L'américaine (Crispy bacon bits, Egg, Afresh Grated Cheese) from the savory side of the menu -- I don't know how Jo and Daouda do it, but the flavor of each ingredient just comes through (where did you guys get the ham from?!). We can't wait to try the other offerings with the chicken. From the sweet side, we have tried Holy Crêpe (Fresh Banana, Nutella, and Coconut), Bloody French (Fresh Strawberry and Nutella), Crêpe Suzette (Orange Flavored Grand Marnier and Sugar) -- this one's got a kick to it! --, and of course their newest yummy addition the Sweet Lemon (Lemon and Brown Sugar). Paris Ouh La La crepes are simply yummy, priced right, made in a stylish eye candy of a food truck, and the owner French native Jo and his master crepe Chef Daouda are a delight serving the most authentic French crepes in the city! Bon appétit!
