So many dreams I overslept…read more..... I thought this quote I happen to read on a blog (fatfatsheep) seemed so fittingly for this piece. You see, I really wanted the scoop on this hamburger truck I discovered about 2 months ago, before the big glossies and newspapers jumped on the bandwagon. Didn't quite succeed at that, but still, I would like to support the cause. That day, around noon, this burger joint suddenly sprouted in the in the most unlikely places, like a tiny black dot between the jungle of concrete and high rise at the Zuidas. After frying up burgers and causing jungle fever for about 2 1/2 hours the truck just as swiftly disappeared. The guys from Thrill grill move their truck, equipped with a proper charcoal broiler!, to a different location every day (check their website/fb page for the location). So what took me so long to write this review? Well, since I'd decided I didn't want to be a lab rat anymore and partake in the rat race, I've sorta been in between jobs and have adjusted my sleeping habits accordingly. Me and the people working at the Zuidas have in a sense become proverbial antiscians. So while the suits have been slaving away in the office since dawn, working up an appetite, noon is rather early time for me to have lunch or even breakfast for that matter. This was my 3rd effort at getting my hands on this elusive burger. The 1st attempt botched when I noticed the truck for the 1st time but didn't have any cash on me and the nearest ATM was out of order. The 2nd shot failed about 2 weeks ago, when I arrived at Gustav Mahlerplein at 1.30pm, only to see the truck had already closed up. Seriously!? Why close up so early? Does no one have lunch after 1pm anymore? Anyways, I particularly had a hard time waking up that morning due to the party my next-door neighbors had decided to organize the night before. As they were pumping up the volume, I lay there thinking: I don't think I've ever been to party where a Micheal Jackson song didn't make an appearance at one point or another. They really made me work for it, but today, I finally got to try the thriller burger. So how does the this burger stack up? Should it be on continuous repeat like the famous MJ song? I have to say, I was expecting quite a lot from the burger that has the Kranenborg name attached to it. And boy, it delivered. For only €6,95 you have a great burger that has everything a good burger needs. I think for that price, you really can't do much better.The meat was just right- I like the spices and flavorings to be just on the outside of my meat patty and not mixed through. The burger flavor really benefits from the charcoal grilling. All the trimming were there: red onion, tomato, gherkin, bacon, you name it. Really loved the tartness of the sauce specially developed by mister Kranenborg. Maybe the burger could use a stronger bacon flavor, but that would be my only criticism, if any.... By driving around A'dam with the Thriller truck, these guys are healing the world, making it a better place (sic Nik T)

These are the best fries I've had in Amsterdam, with Burger Bar coming in a close second. AD named…read morethem the best fries in Amsterdam in 2014, so I have some evidence to back me up in this assertion. Their fries are crispy and flavorful, and the owner is friendly. One time I got overcharged by like 20 cents for a sauce by some dude working in the van, but that's the only bad thing I can say about the place. Pull up a plastic chair and enjoy the pigeons and masses of people walking by while you're enjoying your fries. It's like a little vacation without leaving Amsterdam. :)

Quite literally just a window inside the sizable complex, outdoor seating quite popular during long summer days while the inside is filled by youthful residents sipping Beer or Wine, arrival just an hour after opening finds everyone in jovial spirits and staff quite pleasant. Originally gaining notoriety for the Kimchief, Parrott's fondness for fermented Cabbage immediately evident on the menu, "Fry Me a River" takes on the popular "Smashburger" without over-flattening things and the result is a juicy mix of MRIJ Beef and Bone Marrow whose intrinsic flavor holds up well to condiments including Cheese, Pickles and Sauce. Sporting a fluffy but generous Bun, the attention to detail evident across Beef Chief's menu, Fries or Wings prove popular and look well-made but should not take the place of "Crucial cauliflower" that sees the Crucifer lightly fried but perfectly tender in a sticky Korean lacquer with Sesame Seeds, a side of Kimchi and cheffed-up Mayo.

We did bring in our own food for him but they're luckily cool with that and for ourselves we bought some drinks, a duck burger, veggie stew, lamb burger, twister crisp, brownie and ice cream and some take home treats from arzu bakt and madam cocos. My personal favourites: arzu's salted caramel and pecan bar and madam's ginger and chilli cocos balls. Wasn't really feeling all that hungry any more by the time we got here, otherwise I would have tried the veggie quesedilla from the tortilla truck. Might go back over the weekend just to try it, and hey, the bike ride over already justifies the eating right?? As far as the veggie stew and twister crisp: at €4,50 and €2,00 they were definitely worth the money. Delicious, somewhat nutritious and definitely not way overpriced like some other things... And as for the meat stuff, hopefully le husband will write his review soon!

Churros are popular in Spain, France, the Philippines, Portugal, Ibero-America and the United States. There are two types of churros in Spain, one which is thin (and sometimes knotted) and the other which is long and thick (porra).

But we knew we had to try it, and life is short. It is a tiny stand located along a central canal in the heart of the city. Business is hopping here. We got the picked herring and kibbeling, which are the main staples here. The pickled herring was, well, something you either love or don't. It has somewhat of a gelatinous texture that can be off-putting, but when you take a bite with the sides of sweet pickles and onions, it shines. The Kibbeling was out of this world. Perfectly fried with a crunchy batter that had a hint of, hmmm, curry, maybe. It was amazing. Although the batter was thick and tasty, it didn't outdo the delicious cod. The staff here was friendly, and having this Dutch food along a canal in Amsterdam made for a memorable experience. There are plenty of places to sit near the stand - enjoy this tasty food and watch the world go by.
