TGIF is back! The South Granville Business Improvement
Association (SGBIA) organized Thank Granville It's Food Trucks (TGIF). Every
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 12 noon until 7 in the evening from June
through the last weekend of August, there will be a rotating lineup of food trucks along West 10th Avenue at Fir Street in front of the Vancouver School
Board building.
We chose two Spanish Burgers. I had a La Manchega while hubby picked the La
Molona. They both were served with the delicious Patatas Bravas.

La Manchega with Patatas Bravas Patatas Bravas: potatoes confited in olive oil, Ailioli, and Salsa Brava |
|
|
La Manchega AAA+ ground beef, Manchego cheese, stir-fried onions, Piparra pepper, salsa brava, and organic mixed greens |
The stir-fried onions are excellent, but my favourite part is the peppers. I love the tartness and heat, which is a great palate cleanser from the fattiness of the beef. Overall, a well-balanced burger.

La Molona AAA+ ground beef, Sobrasada (Spanish chorizo pate), egg fried in olive oil, Piparra peppers, tomatoes, and Ailioli sauce |

Hubby asked me to take a bite of his La Molona burger, to which I am more than happy to oblige. It's a messy burger, but hubby loves it. The Spanish Chorizo pate and egg add additional depth of flavour, plus the Piparra pepper is *chef's kiss*.
To end our meal, hubby requested we order the only dessert available (because
the other one is already sold out). So we enjoyed the Cremoso de Chocolate.
Who knew adding chilli pepper, sea salt, and olive oil would make a dessert
this complex?

Cremoso de Chocolate Chocolate ganache, olive oil, chilli pepper, and sea salt |

The chocolate ganache is smooth and sweet. Meanwhile, the sea salt is something I always see in desserts (e.g. salted caramel), but chilli pepper is a fantastic discovery. The subtle heat makes me keep going back. I'm genuinely surprised.
