We spent the weekend in Mt. Desert Island, Maine. We saw fall foliage, ate a ton of food, and hiked through Acadia National Park. There are lots of things to write about, lots of food to go through. So I'll simply start with Day 1 and make it through our trip meal by meal.
We landed in Bangor, Maine right on time. I was psyched to get out of the city. As much as I love NYC, the constant barrage of smells, sounds, and ppl can really get to you sometimes. I was really looking forward to leaving the homeless compound in front of my building, the non-stop ambulances blaring down 3rd Ave, and the rabid dogs meant to guard the construction next door.
We had an hour drive ahead of us, and it was about 1pm. I was (unsurprisingly) hungry, but everyone else wanted to wait until we got to town, bc getting a hike in the afternoon seemed more important to the rest of my group than filling our tummies. Then, as we were driving from Bangor, through Ellsworth, and towards Bar Harbor, a food truck caught our eye. Crazy Dave's Pit BBQ! It was definitely worth a stop.
Stan and I shared the pulled pork sandwich, beef brisket sandwich, and the corn chowder. Kai and Gina did the same. The pulled pork was yummy, beef brisket a little dry, even though it was so fatty(!), and the corn chowder was delicious. The chowder had little bacon fat surprises all throughout, it was awesome. Overall, I'm sure it the BBQ would pale in comparison to something you could get in the South, but delicious nonetheless. The meat could have used a little more flavor and a bit more kick, but hey, this guy smoked all his meat in this crazy smoker right outside the truck (see smoker picture below). It's amazing what ppl can do on the side of the road.
