Mobile Food Fest Makes Roseville Stop

Thursday night, it was less about cars and more about food at in the . People weren’t set on testing out the newest car models, but instead had their eyes set on some of the grub served up during the Mobile Food Fest. And I was one of them.

The parking lot transformed into a short-lived food court full of mobile food trucks including MiniBurger, Wicked Wich, Mama Kim’s, Drewski's Hot Rod Kitchen and VolksWaffle.

From 5-8 p.m. the vendors quickly cooked up dinner for some Roseville foodies. The menu included gourmet fare like garlic and truffle oil topped tater tots, a s’more-like sandwich with nutella, marshmallow and graham cracker, hand-pressed waffles and mini burgers.

I heard good things about all of the vendors, but especially Mini Burger. On the MiniBurger menu were two- or three-packs of bite-sized burgers including the Cowbell – a Black Angus burger topped with bacon, pepperjack cheese, grilled onions and barbecue sauce; and the Ninja – topped with Asian slaw, pea shoots, lous chips and Shiracha aioli. They also cook up a seasonal mini. Thursday’s was called the Lil Squirt – squirt-braised carnitas topped with chipotle barbecue sauce, pineapple salsa and avocado crema. Every month, a portion of the sales from their seasonal burgers goes to a local charity.

At Mama Kim’s, the menu included fish tacos with local albacore topped with tomatillo, avocado and pico de gallo and a tri-tip sandwich.

The event was mostly advertised through Twitter and grabbed the attention of Roseville food and mobile fare lovers. A similar mobile fest was held in for Thursday Night Roundups. Follow @SacFoodTrucks on Twitter to find out where they’ll stop next.
