The Gypsy Picnic?
Add it to the list of events that help to make Austin unique. At the first annual Gypsy Picnic, Austinites braved long lines for the chance to sample delectable trailer foods of all kinds. It was crowded. It was crazy. It was sort of “state fair” meets “outdoor concert” meets “bring-your-dog-to-the-park day.” And I’m happy to report that the trailer tour was there, right in the middle of the action.
With dozens of foods to try, it was difficult to make selections. The Hat Creek Burger Bus was an immediate and irresistible draw. A $3 burger never tasted so good! It really hit the spot. The patty was thin but juicy and flavorful and topped with American cheese. It just doesn’t get any more classic than that. A little table of toppings sat next to the truck – a topping buffet if you will – with fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapeno, mayo, mustard and ketchup. This made for a pretty thoughtful addition to an already tasty treat.
The young woman taking orders informed us that one of her team mates was making the second run of the day to get more ingredients to make sure no burger fan went hungry. This was about three hours into the event, and some of the other trailers had sold out. It seemed Hat Creek had managed their stock well. And as one look at the line stretching out from the truck made clear, this was no small feat. Congrats to Hat Creek for making a solid showing at the Gypsy Picnic!Stay tuned over the next few days for more Gypsy Picnic adventures…
