    Hyde Park, February 17.
    Kathleen M.

    Serendipity! Today's Adventure Friday was to Hyde Park, an area where once upon a time I spent a great deal of time and wanted to revisit. My daughter had the day off, a holiday; Hyde Park Holiday was born. We had barely parked the car and my daughter spied a food wagon, we scurried over and each ordered a slider, 3 for 9.00. Mine was a Cuban slider, can you imagine how fabulous this was? There was just a bit of heat which made it interesting. As we walked around we realized Hyde Park was a veritable mecca of food trucks, we had stumbled upon enough food trucks to be able to pick choose. All this in the middle of wonderful Hyde Park? Life is good. And even better with a slider.

    Two baby bacons and a Gouda

    This was stop #1 on my Burger Crawl a few weeks ago. We actually had a completely different plan for our Burger Crawl, until my husband found The Slide Ride on Twitter. We changed our plans 180 and made this stop numero uno. I'm soooo glad we did because this was definitely our favorite stop of the day. The line was pretty long, but it just meant more time to decide. All of them sounded so good, but we decided on two Baby Bacons and a Gouda. The baby bacons were so yummy. They had some sweet mustard, perfectly grilled onions, topped with a mild bacon taste. The bun was soft, yet still had a little crunch-- likely from being toasted. The gouda had brussel sprouts on it, so we weren't sure what to expect, but I dove right in. I didn't taste the scary aftertaste that makes me despise brussel sprouts but they did give it an interesting texture. It also had the same mustard and bun that I loved from our bacons. The gouda had such an addicting flavor that I could have got right back in line and ordered 3 more of these. The burgers were so juicy and cooked to perfection. My biggest complaint about a lot of burgers is that the toppings overwhelm the actual taste of the meat. This wasn't the case at all. They really have the combinations worked out to make the meat the star of the show. For the first time too, they came out and said they actually prefer credit cards to cash, because they don't have to worry about making change. Not sure if it was just that day or in general, but have no fear if you only have a card. You can still try these divine mini burgers!

    Been meaning to try this place following many positive write ups (top 10 Chicago food trucks etc). That can be a curse because expectations are high. Between 2 of us, tried a few different ones. They come 3 for $9 so that would be your best bet. And also you can mix and match. Note that some are a better value for the 3 bucks. Chicken slider is shredded (not a whole breast) and they give you a lot .. It's messy, but delicious. I ordered the Cheeseburger and the Bacon Burger. The meat is delicious and fresh so no qualms. Didn't care for the garlic aoli sauce on the cheeseburger (should have just called it mayo). Bacon Baby Burger was good. One thing going against them is these have to be very hot to get full enjoyment out of them. We walked 5 min or so to find a decent indoor place to sit and they cooled a little. Also, know it's probably a challenge, but really wish fries were an option (or Onion Rings) instead of the bag of chips. I will go back, but my favorite food trucks are by far Happy Lobster and Tamale Spaceship.

    Desert Heat Slider

    Always get a little excited when I see the Pink food truck down at the end of the street. For some reason, my case of the Mondays seems to go away when I see the tweet that The Slide Ride will make a second stop at Clinton & Lake. So maybe I stalk a little, but really, once you stop by for your first sack o' sliders, you probably will too. So anyways, today I picked up lunch for myself and my coworker, who has really been humoring me and my love of Chicago Food Trucks, and what a wonderful lunch it was. The philly was fantastic as always. The desert heat was tasty as well. Both had fantastic filling to bun ratios and the corn salsa on the desert heat was fantastic. The highlight of lunch had to be the Sriracha Buffalo Chicken. Sooooooooooooooooo yummy with just the right level of heat. The side of ranch is the perfect addition to take this one right over the edge. We are now probably one of the few offices in downtown Chicago anxiously awaiting Monday to roll around again!!!

    Sliders were good. I would recommend getting some of their unique sliders as the regular sliders were just OK.

    This was my 1st food truck tasting and the Apple Cider Chicken sliders were yummy and filling! I'll be back again soon to try more sliders.

    This was my second visit to The Dearborn, and the food and service were both on point. We ordered…read morethe salmon tataki, fish and chips, Wellington burger, and Midwest fried chicken. Everything was well prepared, but the fried chicken was the standout, especially with the hot sauce adding another level of flavor. The staff stayed attentive throughout dinner and even replaced our plates between rounds, which was a level of service I wasn't expecting. I also respected seeing the owner personally making the rounds, stopping at every table to check on the guests and the food. Calm atmosphere, solid hospitality, and a kitchen that delivers.

    OMG! Walk, run, sprint here to get the FISH N CHIPS THAT ACTUALLY BEAT BOBBY FLAY. The executive…read morechef and now chef partner, Aaron Cuschieri, is absolutely amazingly talented. I am used to really good fish and chips... I've never had better fish and chips than Tom Douglas's Mr. Fish in Seattle, UNTIL NOW!!!! Wow, wow wow wow! Do not pass GO, do not read the menu, just order the darn fish and chips! It might be a whole heart attack on a plate... But it doesn't matter... You can walk all of Chicago and burn it off. I decided to work out before I came here for this big splurge and I'm so glad I did. I can see that this is the theater district... And you could come here before a show fish and chips and have the best night of your entire life! I can't wait to try more of this chef's food! I'm BEYOND INSPIRED! ps great beers here toooooi!
