Found a Decent Street Food Vendor

Last week, we were still searching for a good street food vendor (see In Search of Good Street Food Vendors).

Today's discovery was based on the closest one to the office. Slingers' Mobile Food is probably the best one tried to date (mind you, it is not exceptional, just simply better than the other three tried to-date).

Their concept is simple - they call it Signature Parmesan Sandwich which is a sandwich of breaded veal, chicken or eggplant on Calabrese bun.

The Special includes a sandwich, french fries, and a Brio for $11.75 plus taxes. A bit pricy, but you are not stuck with a pop-fountain drink.

But silly me, I got distracted with all the artwork on the food wagon and was taking pictures left and right that I missed the sign about the special. I ended up paying close to $8.00 for the sandwich only.

My choice was the breaded fried eggplant -  covered with a nice tasting home made marinara sauce and melted provolone cheese.

The sandwich was topped with sauteed mushrooms, onions and jalapeno peppers.

It was quiet tasty, not extremely filling, and the bread felt very fresh. I will visit them again for sure, but not after trying the other two dozens or so street food vendors roaming the streets of Vancouver.
