Eating lunch from a food truck in DC can be a little bit of an opportunistic venture. Unlike other cities like Portland where the carts pick a spot and stay, the food trucks in DC roam around the city, popping up at a new spot every day. While this can make it a little challenging to make future plans it does lead to a lot of fun surprises. You can track where the truck are using twitter. PORCs hashtag is: @porcmobile
I had one of these fun surprises when I spotted the PORC truck parked near my work. PORC stands for purveyors of rolling cuisine. They serve up some tasty BBQ. When I stopped by they had two great sounding meat mains, a pulled pork sandwich and a beef brisket sloppy Joe. While both sounded great, I went with the pork, simply because it was the most popular… The masses cant be wrong. I also went with the PORC sauce on the sandwich, which is made with the extra yummy, but perhaps not so healthy, drippings from the roast pork.
Since this was a chance encounter I had to get some sides… Who knows when this would be in my hood again?!? I went with the beans, made with a bit of sausage and a peanut butter truffle on a stick. Both were great. I could have had a whole cup of beans as a meal. If you see them around, give them a try. If you don’t, then track them down!
You are making me so jealous right now!! My husband and I have been wanting to track this truck down and keep missing it! A few weeks ago when we had unseasonably warm weather we took a Friday off and headed to Farragut Square specifically hunting down food trucks. We hit CapMac and Meathead…both great. And before that we hit the Lobsterpound!! Amazing!! I love DC and their food trucks!
