I went to a friend's engagement party at Southern Brewing and Winemaking yesterday. The local Seminole Heights craft beer watering hole frequently hosts visiting food trucks at the entrance to provide nourishment for their hungry patrons. That is where I found the Chalkboard Special, a completely restored AirSteam trailer that can be customized to spotlight "any event, wedding, sports team, charity, public/private event, business promotion, school or institution". The menu for the day was Mexican themed. I ordered the Ultimate Nachos which consisted of chili, ground beef, mole chicken and crispy shrimp along with queso sauce, fresco, jalapenos, piquilla, tomato, red onion, avacado and sour cream. The flavors were all working well with each other, but the tortilla chips didn't seem to be cooked long enough and were mostly chewy.My girlfriend had the Veggie Quesadilla, minus all of the veggies. It was very cheesy, fresh and delicious. The folks working the counter were very accomodating when asked to place the avacado on the side.All-in-all, it is an interesting concept. The food was pretty decent and I would certainly try it again if ever given another opportunity.
