Although my continuing piece regarding the taco trucks that line up and down SW 59th will appear in a few weeks on this site, I had to stop, drop, and roll on to the non-taco truck that I had been wanting—absolutely coveting—since I first heard about it.
It’s Sausage Feast, in the parking lot of Cookie’s on 2304 N. Western Ave.
Unlike many food trucks I have written about, Sausage Feast only comes out at dusk, usually on Friday and Saturday evenings. Their hours seem to start around five in the evening and go on to one in the morning, but they are always bustling, with hoarse-throated patrons keeping them busy.
Being the old fuddy-duddy as I am, I went Friday at five o’clock, around opening. While I thought that I would be the first in line, apparently the guy who ran the stand was already working on five or six orders. I'm sold!
As the sweet smoke sizzled on the well-manned grill and out to the somewhat-teeming masses, I told the chef I wanted the three main dogs on the sign – the Chicago Style Dog, the New York Dog, and the Coney Island Dog. I also grabbed some Chili Cheese Fries for my wife.
