Justin's #IndyEats Bucket List

Well here we are, another point of change....

I feel as though this is the weirdest possible way for me to announce this, but as of June, I (Justin) will be moving to the Tampa area with my wife so that she can pursue a promotion with the company she works for.  I am sad to leave Indy, as I have lived here for the last 8 years, and I will forever think of this place as my home.  Nonetheless, the opportunity for her to pursue her career, and for me to attend school for cheap (FL in-state tuition is nearly $1,200 cheaper vs. IUPUI) is just too good to pass up.  Although I am sad to leave my snowy state of IN, I am happy for the doors that this will open up for Mealightenment to expand again.

Taste of the Caribbean [Review]

Today, I had an idea.  I figured that I would just toss out there on Twitter that I was interested in getting something to eat from a food truck.  Social media, and the "now-ness" of our generation is still amazing, even to the 27-year old me.  Either way, here's the tweet I sent out earlier (pictured at right).

Spice box Indy review

 

       "Approachable Indian food" is the theme for Spice box!

As you can tell, we @mealightenment love our food trucks in Indianapolis! I can't decide if it is the originality of the food, the awesome owners, the great taste, or the excitement that a good truck brings to a curb near you! The one thing I do know for a fact is you can certainly find a truck that has tasty food for a good price!

Seoul Grill Indy Review

In Indianapolis food trucks, having a solid identity and offering something truly unique is what makes you stand out amongst the others.  One mobile restaurant really stands out for us here @Mealightenment, and that is Seoul Grill Indy.  The first thing that caught my eye about this truck was the wicked paint job on their truck; and to be honest, as did "Korean."  I had to stop and try it out.

The "Big" Announcement...We've Expanded!

Hello everyone!!!!

My name is James Thornburgh, and I just joined @mealightenment! Justin and I met in college last semester and we both thought it would be a great idea to work together! So, here I am! I'm very excited to help bring a lot to the table for Mealightenment! 

Circle City Spuds Truck Review

Thank goodness for a sunny day and fairly open parking on 4/13, when I went downtown to the One America Building and visited Circle City Spuds, Indy's premier baked potato haven for lunch or dinner.  This day, Heather was luck enough to have a helper on board.  As I showed up and told her helper at the order window who I was, I heard Heather say in the back of the truck, "I didn't think you were gonna make it," as she served me up the last two potatoes of the day.  I'm so glad I made it just in time.

The Food Truck Review (Prezi, Flash Required)

I swear that this has been done for nearly two weeks.  Being the computer illiterate blogger that I am, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong in sharing this link--user error.

For those who don't know, I recently undertook the task of eating at a few Indianapolis Food Trucks, and comparing them in four categories: Taste, Price, Selection, and Speed of Service.  It's not a comprehensive review, just little fact nuggets, and a comparison of the four trucks that were nice enough to let me review them.  Again, I'm not saying any of these trucks is better than the other, it's just my opinion in direct comparison to one another.  Here is the link to the Prezi that I created for my English project, check it out, and let me know what you thing.

Thanks again to @SeoulGrillIndy, @circlecityspuds, @TheNYslice, & @FloribbeanFlair for being awesome enough to give me some info and answer my questions.  Each truck was great, and this was truly an amazing experience interacting with all of you.

Thanks to all involved.  Comments, questions, ideas?  Just let me know.

Eat on,

--J
