In early April Doggi Style the Hot Dog cart serving up Venezuelan style Hot Dogs, Burgers and Chicken Sandwiches announced it would be closing up shop at its current location and that they would be back soon. And yes, they’re back but gone is the cart. They’ve set up shop right off of Coral Way and SW 67th Avenue. Laura who owns Doggi Style has also expanded the menu to include Chili Dogs, Chicago Dogs and a few other ditties. But you’ll have to see for yourself when you visit. For now:

Blue Willy’s Traditional Southern BBQ – Ft. Lauderdale Street Food

By Burger Beast · Comments (8)
Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

As I got off of my car I could smell the glorious smell of the smoker a good 100 feet from me. Blue Willy’s BBQ is a large trailer, part of which is the smoker brightening up my day. I was with my cousin and after taking a good long look at the menu we order everything.

OK, maybe not everything but almost everything except the Brisket and Rib Tips. We also decide it would be best to order everything as a “Plate” so that we can try all the sides. There were five sides: Willy’s Pit Smoked Beans, Coleslaw, Fries, Cornbread and Mac n’ Cheese. The fries were nothing special. The Mac n’ Cheese had a nice little bread crumb crust top but I didn’t feel it was cheesy enough. I didn’t try the coleslaw and beans, my cousin loved them. The Cornbread is a must have with the little pieces of corn sprinkled throughout.

So I won’t have to repeat myself throughout, there was an omnipresent smoke flavor in everything. The homemade smoked sausage was served up first in slivers. The sausage was great and could have easily been a part of a great sandwich with onions. Blue Willy suggested we try mixing both his tomato and mustard BBQ sauces with the Chopped Pork sandwich. I loaded up my sandwich with the mustard sauce and tried adding a bit of the tomato one. I could see some folks preferring the mix but I loved the mustard sauce solo.

The St. Louis Spareribs were my cousin’s favorite but for me, nothing was better than the chicken. It was delicious, it was moist (smokey too!) and it had a White BBQ sauce. I was not familiar with the existence of a White BBQ sauce but it’s an Alabama thing according to Willy. I went back and tried everything again with the white sauce which just confirmed my suspicions. That White BBQ sauce needs to have a permanent home on the condiment shelf in my fridge.

Doggi Style – Venezuelan Street Food in Miami, Florida

By Burger Beast · Comments (0)
Friday, September 24th, 2010

I’ve driven past the gas station where Doggi Style is located (57th Avenue and Coral Way after 4pm) at least a dozen times in the last few months. The banner mentioning their Burgers and Hot Dogs facing the street is what caught my eye originally. I learned upon my arrival that Doggi Style sells Venezuelan-style Burgers & Hot Dogs which are heavy on the sauces. They’re serving out of a modified Hot Dog cart. The food reminds me of Colombian style fast food with salad & corn added, sans the cheese . Weird? Sure. Good? Yes. Let’s not kid anyone here, I didn’t have salad on mine but my wife Marcela did.

2 Doggi Style Dogs – Who can have just one?

Dude, look at that Parmesan Cheese

The sauces make the dog, the corn is a nice touch and the fact that it’s on a Martin’s Potato Roll is great. I just wish it was a beef dog, that would have made it a grand slam instead of a homerun. Let’s get back to the sauces for a second, there’s a garlic based white sauce that I considered pocketing. I would buy some to take home in a second.

Doggi Style Burger – Pre-Saucing

The Burger has all of the toppings of the dog plus cheese and ham. You can also add lettuce and tomato but that’s not happening to any of my Burgers in this lifetime. I forgot to mention I added bacon and an egg to my Burger. Avocado as an added topping is also an option. My burger tasted great the way it was. Choripan, Pepitos and Parillas are also on the menu. What are those? Come on by and find out.

My appearance on the VendrTV episode with Yellow Submarine

By Burger Beast · Comments (0)
Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Vendr.TV discovers “the world’s best street food, one bite at a time” via webisodes. I’d like to thank them for asking me to be a part of the episode featuring the Yellow Submarine. It was a great blast to film which I think comes across during the webisode and during the outtakes shown after the credits.

Bites On Wheels – Miami Street Food Truck

Bites On Wheels Mini Truck

I’ll admit I made a mistake when I ate at Bites On Wheels. I regret not ordering the Steak Sandwich aka Pan Con Bistec. Bites On Wheels is a mini food truck (alright not really a truck) but it’s laid out well enough that some good eats can be prepared.

After looking over the menu I decide on 3tacos (1 of each: Chicken, Steak and Carnitas) & a Hot Dog with a Sausage to go. The all beef Hot Dog and Sausage are gigantic and served in a Media Noche Sandwich Bread (an Eggy, slightly Sweet Bread).

I had both with Potato Sticks (not a particular fan of these), Mustard and the red NY style Tomato Onion Sauce. While both meat sticks tasted great, the bread may have been a tad too big. It couldn’t hurt to possibly have toasted the bread also. Now, the Tacos were right on point. The Salsa Verde & Salsa Roja were good but the Chipotle Sauce was killer.

The Carnitas (Pork) was my favorite of the three but you won’t go wrong having any of them. All are topped with diced Red Onions and Cilantro. So where to from here? The Steak Sandwich is the final frontier and captain, full speed ahead. Till next time.

Orale Taqueria Mexicana: A Miami Food Truck

Orale Taco Truck

After 3 attempts at showing up at Orale! during their “Business Hours” I finally arrived just as they were opening. I would definitely call before showing up if I were you.

El Menu

The Menu is very simple: Tacos, Quesadillas and Drinks (regular Soft Drinks and some Mexican Specialty Drinks). I order a Chicken Taco and a Chorizo Taco as well as a Cheese Quesadilla.

You’re served your taco and you add toppings to your liking. The sSauces and Toppings are laid out for you at the very front of the cart. Of the 3 sauces available I preferred the Salsa Verde which was the “Medium” Salsa. The Salsa Extra Picante is Chile Habanero, no thank you. I’d like to be able to sit down later.

The Quesadilla was…well a Quesadilla. Nothing revolutionary here and I really should have just gone for one of the others tacos (Carnitas de Cerdo comes to mind).

If you’re hungry, if no other food can satisfy that craving, and if you can find them, maybe you can eat at…Orale! Taqueria Mexicana (can you tell I just watched the A-Team?)
