Vice + Food Trucks + The Sussman Brother’s = Awesome Foodie Mayhem

By Cator Sparks Published December 21, 2019

We love food trucks, we love the Sussman Brothers (that pear tart from their new cookbook had our boozy dinner crew begging for more) and we love the antics of the Vice crew. So when we started watching Truckers in the Wild on their site we had to share.

The series premiered in April and you can see all of the episodes so far here. The six-part series follows Max and Eli Sussman as they gad about New York City, Nashville, Los Angeles, Miami, Las Vegas, and Philadelphia. Together, the brothers meet the trucks in their natural habitat and then drive with them out of their comfort zone to see how they stand up in a completely unnatural environment. Please, please sit back and observe the cupcake truck experiment at a metal concert in Brooklyn. We have never heard the words ‘F*ck’ and ‘Cupcake’ said together with such joy and gusto.

Check out the debut today of their Las Vegas episode where the boys hang out with Haulin Balls, a meatball truck run by two guys from Boston and New York. Apparently they are known for ‘traditional Italian meatballs made from an old family recipe to things that were never in a ball before’. Together they will explore old Vegas meeting locals and sharing meatballs with all they encounter.

Hellmann’s is the lead sponsor of this zany series so look out for mayonnaise reaching hipster cult status shortly.

The griller’s pantry: 10 unexpected ingredients that make fire-cooked food even better

Take your grilling from good to unforgettable

Backyard BBQ, grilling

Grilling isn’t just about the meat. Sure, the sizzle of a steak and the snap of a sausage over open flames is pure poetry, but the real magic starts after the char. Any good griller knows the pantry matters as much as the grill itself. Once the smoke has done its job, it’s the flavors you layer on afterward that turn “nice” into “I’m still thinking about that” long after the embers fade.

Starbucks Barista-favorite Guatemala Casi Cielo is back

Starbucks Guatemala Casi Cielo

No one knows great coffee better than Starbucks baristas, who have voted the Guatemala Casi Cielo whole bean coffee as one of their favorite roasts. Each week, Starbucks partners (employees) can select a bag of whole bean coffee for free, and last year, Starbucks partners used this benefit on Guatemala Casi Cielo more than any other seasonal whole-bean coffee offered by the brand. This partner and customer-favorite has been popular for nearly two decades, featuring elegant floral aromatics and notes of citrus and dark cocoa.
