Going to the West Side!

Went to Westside Studio's summer fete last night and the evening was perfect for an outdoor party. They had a lovely surprise for guests. Never mind fancy caterers and posh h'ors derves served by good looking waiters...they had the real summer deal.

They had two vans selling street food -they probably picked them right off of Queen Street. One was an ice cream van run by the coolest ice cream man complete with chef's hat and big moustache. And the second van was dishing out hamburgers, hot dogs and the best hand cut fries you have ever tasted.

This morning, I was excited to download all the candid shots of our evening's treats but when I went to download there was a memory card error and there are no pics to show! So I will try to describe some of what the pics were showcasing. At first there was some fresh cut and greasy french fries, ladled with vinegar and ketchup (we had 3 LARGE servings). They were long and fat and glistening with oil in the moonlight.

Then there were pics of my vanilla caramel twirl soft serve, Erin's chocolate vanilla swirl and Brendan's swirl which he got dipped in chocolate, that dirty dog didn't share that tip with us!

There were other photos of Matt in his tiki hut office, behind the bar with his fez and some with Erin and her nemesis who rode away on her bike - a little tipsy too. Maybe you will see the lovely man who served us ice cream like we were 10 year olds on the street somewhere. Just ask him if he has been to the Westside.

Hopefully someone will send some pics of the real deal and I can post them.

For now I leave you with this...eat from one of those vans again - it brings you a little nostalgia and is really fun!
