Just Pictures: Off The Grid (Part 2) & Edgewood Eats

Off The Grid is expanding out of SF and opening up in different cities in the Bay Area!  Just last Monday, Off The Grid held a soft opening in downtown San Mateo with a few food trucks.  We went there solely for the reason of the two below pictures, Chairman Bao.  We've seen this food truck a few times now and there are always really, really long lines.  We desperately needed to check out what this bao thing was all about, so knowing that they were at a soft opening in a city that was so close to work, we had to go!

Truck and menu

(From left to right)
Braised pork with cabbage and preserved mustard seeds on steamed bun
Tender pork belly with pickled daikon on steamed bun (the BEST one)
Red sesame chicken w/ pickled cucumber & carrots on baked bun

Palo Alto also has a food-truck event on Mondays called Edgewood Eats.  Located in a small runned down plaza off Embarcadero Street, this event features about 10 trucks from 5 - 9 pm.  Bring your own chairs and blankets, and enjoy a good variety of food trucks on a Monday night!
An The Go (from owners of Thanh Long and Crustacean in SF) and their special garlic noodles (so yum!)

Sweet potato tots with spicy mango ketchup
Special of the day - five-spiced chicken spring rolls with seafood sauce

    the spring rolls were really good. super fresh and i think they added fried wonton strips because there was an refreshing crunch in the middle! and ditto on the taters.
