When it comes to street food, I am like a meerkat. You will often find me up on my hind legs (twitter) in search of a naughty burger, with some quirky sauce, wrapped in newspaper.
Burgers, Beers and a bunch of my favourite people is my idea of a perfect evening, this is exactly what last night involved.
I had done enough twitter stalking to know that The Street Food Warehouse was right up my street; Beer served in brown paper bags and rosemary fries. Where do I sign up?
So this little foodie gathering can be found under the stadium at Cardiff Arms Park. Music blaring from a little veggie stall and the smell of sizzling burgers is enough to make anyone excited.
In order to fit in, you must order a beer which comes in a brown bag, I felt like a chic tramp and I loved it. After this, it didn't take me long to pick my food, when there is a huge sign that reads 'GRILLED HALLOUMI' consider it sold, to the cheese loving, chic tramp.
The Rad Burger Company was the busiest stall by far, we queued for a while but it was soo worth it. I had the Rad Beef burger, it came stuffed with bacon, halloumi, rocket, mango chutney and garlic mayo. I had the rosemary fries too, as it would be a crime to order a burger without chips, and I had so much thyme for these bad boys.
So feeling sufficiently stuffed from this, I still had room for a cocktail. This is what Ten Mill Lane do best and naturally, I had my eye on the gin one since we arrived. It was served in a noodle box with chopsticks and a fortune cookie, I think I slurped the whole thing and inhaled the raspberries in about 5 seconds. It was fruity, fabulous and my idea of the perfect cocktail.
At some point or another, I think I have managed to try all the stalls. Meat in the middle had some pretty nawty hot dogs - we managed to get mustard over my face, my hands, my phone and Kierans shoe.
For the sweet tooth, Mr Churro was there with his delicious donut-like sticks with warm chocolate for dunking. Uh-mazing.
Pitch were serving up welsh nacho's with the help from Norma, the cutest boston terrier you will ever see and Nata & Co showed off an impressive display of Portuguese pastries. These are 2 of my favourite food places in Cardiff, so if you haven't tried them yet, I urge you too. Pitch is nestled on Mill Lane and you can find Nata on Clifton Street in Splott - A dangerous 2 minute walk from my work...
