The day before Austin's Tasty Up Trailer Tour I went not to just Franklin Barbecue, but also The Texas Cuban Hot-Pressed Sandwiches. Though I do love my trailer food, I must admit this Cuban sandwich dinner was planned before I knew about Tasty Up.

The South Austin Veggie Soul sandwich at Texas Cuban was moderately tasty, but the plantain chips were where it's at. We didn't get the thin, crispy chips. Ours were latke-esque and deliciously and salty. I'm allergic to bananas, but not plantains. Could this be because they're more potato-y?

I had a great warm sandwich and plantain latke dinner in the cold with one of my favorite people, Colin Walsh. We met in Creative advertising class at UT. He was my favorite copywriter to work with--we worked really well together. He's one of those people who I don't see enough, but know that we're still close.

It was a successful Friday evening in my book.
