After a decade they're still probably the best food truck in the city. VUE Weekly named them #1 Best Food Truck 2018 and the show Eat St. featured them in season four. Plus they've been on the Worldwide Faves list on this website this entire time. Locals know that this is the truck that you want - especially for their legendary pork belly sandwich. (If they ever took it off of the menu I think the planet might implode? It's science.) The best way to figure out where Drift is going to be on any given day is to check their website where they've got an up-to-date calendar of their whereabouts. The truck shuts down for the winter so it's always exciting when the end of April rolls around and you know that you're going to be able to start stalking them again. I went to find the truck on the seasons opening of the 124 Grand Market in Westmount, a wonderful farmers' market. Drift does sometimes sell out, so if there's something in particular that you want to eat from them, I'd recommend arriving early. (This will also help you to avoid waiting in a giant lineup.) It's always exciting when the turquoise-painted truck comes into view. These days, the menu on offer is usually pretty standard. They've got four different sandwiches - all amazing. (Although back in the day they used to sometimes do a duck confit sandwich that you don't see anymore and I'd love to see that one make a glorious return!) They've also got some sides that are very good as well. You know the drill, you approach the truck window to make your order with the friendly people inside, then wait a few minutes until they call your name and hand you a brown paper bag filled with goodness. And they do take cards as payment these days. To drink they usually have interesting local canned beverages and they're often different from one visit to the next. I spotted the Troubled Monk Ginger Ale Soda (from Red Deer) and decided to give it a try. This craft ginger ale was quite possibly the best ginger ale that I've ever tasted. The flavour was so real! You could tell that it's made with real ginger but it also had a very unique and wonderful molasses flavour that I really enjoyed. If you see this soda around you should definitely grab some! Next, I moved in on the Sides. We were going to have a true Drift feast on this day! There were four different items to choose from and I had to try the Poutine (Made with beef gravy & fresh cheese curds - $6.50) because I think that this might be something a bit new that they're doing. First of all, their hand-cut fries are already super famous and they season them with "Drift spice" which involves cumin, fennel, mustard seed and chili. (They also do their own housemade ketchup made with cardamom and ginger, which is excellent.) So the fries alone are already something special... But then they went and turned them into a poutine. This very well may be the best poutine happening in Edmonton right now. I'm super picky about poutine (as you may already know) and this one crushes it on every level. The fries are ultra crispy and golden (likely double fried) and dusted in their delicious seasoning. The cheese curds were fresh and squeaky, piled on high. And the gravy was hot and savoury. THIS is the poutine that Edmonton needs to know about. I also ordered the Broccoli Salad (Broccoli, apple, carrot, raisin & herb aioli - $4.75), because health! Loved this little salad. This is a great way to add something a bit more fresh to your Drift meal and I loved the bright combination of veggies and fruit. The broccoli was crunchy and the apple and raisin gave it a nice sweetness. You really can't go wrong with this salad and you'll feel like you ate vegetables. And then it's sandwich time. The Pork Belly Sandwich (Chili mayo, pickled carrot & daikon, fresh cilantro - $9.00) is truly of Edmonton legend and I doubt that I'll ever be able to get myself to order anything else. This sandwich is everything. I dove in immediately and reveled in the symphony of flavours. First and foremost is the pork belly that has taken on an incredible caramelized glaze which gives it a bit of a crunch. It's sliced thin and the fat is rendered down perfectly. Next, the pickled vegetables and cilantro give the sandwich a definite Vietnamese vibe, and the slight kick from the chili mayo is the perfect way to round everything out. The bun reminds me of the soft and crusty Portuguese type. It's a perfect sandwich. Incredibly delicious and consistently amazing for a whole decade, this sandwich must never, never go away. I love Drift. They're a major part of the culinary tapestry in this city and they've certainly played a huge roll in making the food truck scene everything that it is today. They've really cracked the code by offering a small handful of items on their m

The owner/operator runs this truck not only to make some extra money during the summer festival/farmers market circuit, but also because she loves to cook and has a passion for food.

Fresh, delicious, creative... a breath of fresh air for tastebuds tired of overpriced sandwiches and tacos. You gotta eat here!! Eat all the fritters!

They have breakfast and lunch menu. The red velvet pancakes with bourbon cream sauce sounded pretty delicious, but I went ahead and ordered lunch. I got the spicy shrimp noodle salad, which was delicious. Noodles, fresh veggies, mango slices, with shrimp and a light spicy vinaigrette. For $8 it was a filling and delicious lunch. My parents ended up going to Hot Mess that same day, and my dad said he liked the chorizo burger (although he said it wasn't very spicy), and my mom had the pulled pork sandwich, which she said you could really taste that it had been smoked (not just bbq sauce). The food here is a bit of a mess, even my noodle salad was messy. The food is pretty varied, but what I had was good and I wouldn't hesitate to try something else from Hot Mess again.

It seems so simple, but it's a really unique way to have a burger or a hot dog. They also have tacos and other menu items. The condiment stand here is pretty decked out...far beyond your basic mustard, ketchup, and onions most places would have. They've got tea from Mother Earth Essentials and The Algonquin Tea Company, and coffee from Spirit Bear Coffee. I was even told by the man working that the owner will sometimes make off-menu items like elk stew. The cafe is a good size with several tables and chairs. They even have a video game system that plays old Nintendo games, which is pretty cool (at least I thought so, I'm a child of the 90s). They staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is good. It's a pretty unique local business and if you're over by Kingsway/NAIT you should definitely stop by for a bite. I mean they have a sign that says "Don't Panic. We Got Bannock." How can you not love a business like that?
