This was a long weekend and we spent a good portion of it at our happy place, Whitestone Brewery. Mike had to work the early shift on Black Friday, so he was tired and I didn’t really feel like cooking or eating Thanksgiving leftovers. We were eager to try the food truck, RWB’s Chow Bus. Our beertenders told us great things about this food truck with lots of Chicago favorites. The menu was quite varied with pizzas, salads, sandwiches, and more. Eventually, I opted for the Redbird, a grilled chicken sandwich with a side of crinkle cut fries. Mike picked the Italian beef tacos and an order of America Balls. The food was excellent. My chicken sandwich was very simple, but the chicken was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I love crinkle fries and these were a perfect specimen-crisp and salty. Mike loved his Italian beef tacos that had a bit of spice to them. The America Balls were fried cheese balls, which were right up his alley and much tastier than the last deep fried balls served at Whitestone. All the food was amazing and there were more menu items that we’d gladly try given the chance. We didn’t stay long, as we were tired, but it was a great way to kickstart our weekend.
