To help promote the
shipping container eateries at Bathurst and Dundas, four food trucks stopped by Saturday:
El Gastronomo,
Toasted Tangerine,
Rome'N Chariot, and
Buster's Sea Cove. There was also a small market selling fresh fruit and vegetables, and a few jewellery vendors. Not feeling too peckish for lunch, I grabbed a crab roll ($10) from Buster's and a chicken bunjo ($5) from the Indian eatery.
Inside a buttery toasted bun was a substantial helping of chunky Alaskan crab. The mix of chives and mayo made it moist and summery. I couldn't taste the mango salsa though and the pickle slice was too sour and soggy. The meal also came with a bag Mrs. Vickie's potato chips. The bunjo was an Indian street food take on the sloppy joe. The chicken version was a sausage bun stuffed with butter chicken, curry lentils, and topped with coriander and green chili. The seller (
Tony Sabherwal, owner of the
Magic Oven organic pizza chain) advised me to let the sauce soak into the bun. Boy, he was right! The gooey bread tasted great with the curry stuffing and the chili gave enough spicy kick to keep things interesting.
