Temporarily Halifax's newest food truck until some others hit the scene this summer, Firefly Feast…read morehas set up shop on Gottingen directly across from the North End Memorial Library, in between the creeping gentrification south of Cunard and the infamy of Uniacke Square, to dole out sandwiches and baskets of its sure to be menu staple "firefries". After showing up just a little bit too late on their opening day, I popped back over on a lovely Friday afternoon. Firefly's fire engine red trailer is cozied up with some hanging plants, making their corner of the parking lot a homey one, if your home is on wheels and smells like a fryer. Their menu was compact, comprising of four sandwiches - a Monte Cristo with berry compote, jerk chicken with pineapple slaw, hoisin pulled pork, and a steak sandwich - and their firefries which are a mix of thin shoestring fries, sweet potato fries and crispy fried onions. You can get a combo with a sandwich, firefries and a drink for a respectable $12, taxes in. I went with a Monte Cristo combo, because who doesn't like what is effectively a ham and cheese between French toast? It was a short wait as things were pretty quiet towards the end of their business day, and soon I had a basket of firefries and one for my sandwich in hand(s). I went across the street to sit on a library bench since the gravel parking lot and grassy abandoned lot weren't particularly inviting. The fries were fantastic - all crisp and well seasoned with sea salt, and the rich, creamy aioli on the side was great for dipping. The Monte Cristo is typically a ham and cheese, dipped in egg wash and fried. Mine seemed to be ham-less, but the cheese was plentiful, and nicely melted and stringy. The egg wash added another layer of flavour and the strawberry and blueberry compote was sweet and delicious. It made the sandwich soggy and messy, but that's what napkins are for. If you're in the neighbourhood or even in the proximity, swing by for the firefries for sure. Myself, I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu and continuing to watch this area evolve.

Ok....I am a huge supporter of local, food trucks and this one deserves to be talked about! I was…read morelucky enough to try it at the North by Night Market and was sooo happy I did! They typically have 2-3 food trucks and I had already tried the others, so why not...I thought. First off...the selections of sandwiches were incredible. The flavor combinations and ingredient choices are obviously done by someone who really loves food and understands it. That is most definitely what I am looking for in any food service establishment. Then I tried the firefries, which are an upgrades version of normal food truck delicious fries...if you can imagine. Combining regular and sweet potato fries and with a delicious garlic-y dipping sauce...YES PLEASE! Their prices are completely reasonable and for what you get, it is definitely worth tracking them down!

Waaaaay too expensive for what it is…read more I understand it's suppose to be a farm to table concept but I literally could not taste the difference between what they served and regular supermarket food. The ingredients didn't taste especially fresh and it was 17 dollars a plate! What a rip off. I'm all about organic farming and fresh ingredients, but when you can't even taste the difference, I have to wonder, is it really what it claims?

No, sometimes you just have to get....a salad. Not a little scoop of coleslaw or sauteed veggies, but an honest to god salad, full of green things and stuff that should keep me from dying young. Luckily for you and I, there's Selwood Green. One of the permanent storefronts at the market, Selwood does it all with fresh veggies straight from the owners' farm, to prepared meals and baked goods. Today I was on the hunt for something healthy, so I went with a small salad, which is just prepared with what they have on hand that day. I perused the various goods they had for sale while I waited, and soon my name was called and I was on my way. I was happy to see that they either gave me a larger container than I should have gotten, or their small salad is the size of a normal 8x8 take out box. Either way, it worked out for me. Getting back to the office, I popped the top and dug into my rabbit food. First of all, it had a nice presentation. This wasn't a haphazard scooping of pre-made salad mix and then being sent out, this was actually constructed. It had a lot going on, and for salads, that's a good thing. Fresh greens, aged cheese, sprouts, blueberries, almonds, roasted sunflower seeds, hard boiled egg, apple, carrot, tomato; this salad was loaded. It was a great mix of flavours, especially the roasted sunflower seeds. I thought it odd there was no cup or packet of dressing, but it came lightly dressed in a tangy vinaigrette that brought everything together, but didn't overwhelm or make everything soggy. They also earn bonus points for using a paper container and not styrofoam. If you're in the neighbourhood any day of the week, you should definitely hit up Selwood for your healthy, or slightly less than healthy (but still local, of course) eats.

While not part of the recent gourmet food truck explosion, Andrew's is still newer than it's nearby…read morecompetition of Halifax institution-on-wheels Bud the Spud. Offering a bit more diverse menu than Bud, I stopped by here earlier this year on my way to the Mooseheads' Memorial Cup celebration at the Grand Parade. Right off the bat, you notice how inexpensive their meals are. A one piece fish and chips is a mere $6 taxes in, and two is $8. I played it safe since this was my first meal of the day and went for the one piece. After a short wait, I plopped down on a nearby bench in front of the library. The fish was a good size and came with a lot of fries, however I didn't see any tartar sauce bottles handy and none was provided. The fish had a nice mild haddock flavour and quite crunchy batter, although it was a bit on the greasy side. The fries were hand-cut and fairly crispy for being such. All in all, pretty good bang for my buck, but not the quality that is gonna blow you away. If you do get food from any vendor by the library, I suggest you keep on walking to find somewhere else to sit. The starlings were probably the boldest I've ever encountered, with one actually flying at my plate to try and steal fries! I had to throw fries to them to keep the aggressive little jerks at bay.

If you are looking for a quick lunch at incredible prices - it is unbeatable. A one piece fish and chips is $6 and a two piece fish and chips is only $8.

There is a convenient wall bordering the sidewalk in this area that acts as a nice seating area for you to relax and devour some good fish and chips.

Well, this just further justified why I do not spend my money here anymore $22-$28 for an eggs Benedict is ridiculous first of all. Second, their potatoes used to be so good but have been horrible for over a year and they give you the smallest portion. I also find the service to be so slow and everyone who works there is absolutely miserable. I paid almost $70 for my underwhelming and small brunch which included a specialty coffee and overpriced tiny caesar drink. This is the last time I'll go here. Go around the corner to Lionshead where you can get properly proportioned brunch dishes for a fraction of the price and service with a smile.

Now tell me that is not worth a visit with some friends? Way cheaper than buying it all and cooking it and WAYY less work! So in a pinch, or not, this is a great deal!

Only downside is that you might have to wait a while for your order if there are a few people, but this has to do with the owner's obsession to get the dogs perfect (so he only cooks a small number of sausages for a certain amount of time). Topping choices are good, and sauces are many. All around a good place to grab a quick snack while out on the waterfront for the day!

This man knows his hot dogs, and condiments. This was my favorite experience at the farmers market…read moretoday! I was initially drawn in by this place because who I believe is the owner, and condiment connoisseur was showing some of his customers blends of sauces he thought would go best with their sausages/hot dogs. I went with the veggie dog. He informed me he tries to cook them in little batches because he thinks they taste best fresh. Fair enough! I waited about 5 minutes, he apologized several times for the wait but I didn't mind. When I got my dog he asked if I preferred barbeque sauce or mustard. I said mustard. After I said this it lead to a fantastic customization of toppings to add to my hot dog. The first was a Bulgarian cabbage slaw. Next he suggested I try a horse radish sauce and a sweet mustard he brings in from Boneheads BBQ. After that he recommended a type of shallot I think he said was from France, he also mentioned they were very hard to find. After I piled my veggie dog with these toppings he asked if I prefer tomatoes or pickles. I said tomatoes, so he suggested fresh diced tomatoes in a balsamic vinegar sauce he gets from the Mennonites. Of course, I accepted all of his recommendations. He told me to take a bite and tell him what I thought. It was fantastic. The Bulgarian cabbage slaw is an alternative to saurkraut I think, but its a bit more bitter. I liked it. The horse radish and sweet mustard added a pungent and sweet component to the cabbage slaw, the shallots were very subtle, but the tomatoes were really my favorite part, they added freshness to my veggie dog. Who knew deciding what would taste good on a hot dog could be such an art?!
