Carts in the Park
June 23rd, 2009I’m back! I’d like to welcome everyone who stumbled this site – please stay tuned for more recipes, CSA updates, and restaurant reviews.
Last Thursday, I checked out the first Carts in the Park, located next to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Blackwell St. Since the lunch options at American Tobacco are a little limited for a vegetarian, I’m always hungry (sorry, couldn’t resist) for new alternatives. I should probably add that I work at American Tobacco, so I’m there quite a lot. Anyway, back to the carts!
Only Burger also has veggie burgers.
There were two food carts: Joe’s Dogs and Only Burger. Lunchtime was not looking promising. Fortunately, Only Burger has a veggie burger, and in fact, proudly displayed a sign to that effect. They had a lot of business, too, as well as a lengthy cooking time, so don’t expect to walk up and be handed a burger. Though, really, that’s not what I look for in food, even fast food.
Their veggie burger is a Gardenburger that is cooked on a separate grill from the meat burgers. It was really good, and thicker than I remembered Gardenburgers being, though it’s been a while since I’ve had one. (I’ve been eating a lot of Boca Burgers lately.) And I loved that they had pepperjack cheese! I would definitely get one of those again, though I’d probably skip the fries.
Looks like Ninth St. Bakery will be joining Carts in the Park this Thursday, and I can’t wait to see what they have to offer.
