Friday Food Truck Feature- Bananarchy

(from my first trip to the banana stand)

Bananarchy! It's so good. They take fair trade frozen bananas- dip them- and roll them in topping.

You can choose from chocolate, peanut butter or vanilla to dip it in and nuts, oreos, coconut, graham crackers, M&M's, Reese's Pieces, toffee, cookies, sprinkles, cinnamon or granola to roll it in. There are soooo many delicious flavor combinations to choose from!

I normally get a halfsie and it's plenty, but they have halves ($2.75), wholes ($3.75) and doubles available.

There are also several combinations on the menu, such as The Hippy Dippy- granola, craisins and cinnamon or The Gob- two bananas double dipped in chocolate with extra nuts.

Bananarchy has a wonderful home grown feel to it. There are chalkboard areas where you can leave a note. The employees are super nice, and there's a lit picnic area behind the stand where you can enjoy your frozen treat. Plus, there's Bananagrams!

The stand is located at 600 S Lamar right south of Barton Springs Rd- close to Peter Pan Mini Golf, Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, and the Long Center. They recently expanded their hours to Monday-Thursday noon-10pm and Friday-Saturday noon to midnight... meaning it's now open for a late night treat!

Friday Food Truck Feature: Gourdough's

Gourdough’s

As in gourmet doughnuts.

As in a deep fried, smothered with loving goodness, slice of heart attack heaven.

Gourdough's serves up doughnuts... but these are larger than your hand, perfectly deep fried, and generously paired with fresh and delicious toppings both savory and sweet.

Gourdough’s is conveniently located right across from the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar, perfect for a post movie treat if you didn’t fill up on their amazing Once Upon A Time in Mexico salad or the Up in Smoke’d Bacon pizza.

Gourdough’s is beside Trey’s Cuisine and The Odd Duck Farm to Trailer, so there’s something for everyone in the little park. There are lots of outdoor tables, cute hanging lighting and fire pits for cold weather. The park is BYOB so save a little money and bring your own sodas or water bottles. Gourdough’s makes everything to order so expect a little wait, especially if you’re there during peak times.

My recommendations

• Savory

o Porkey’s- cream cheese, jalapeño jelly, and Canadian bacon. The jalapeño jelly looks weird but the flavor combo is SO GOOD.

o The Flying Pig – maple syrup icing and bacon. Like… lots of bacon.

• Sweet
• The Dirty Berry- fudge icing and grilled strawberries. Decadent and delicious- make sure you have something to wash it down!

o Funky Monkey- grilled bananas, cream cheese, and brown sugar topping. The potassium clearly makes this a healthy choice I can feel good about.

My biggest recommendation is that you go with a group and all order different things and pass them around so you can try lots of flavors!

Nom nom nom. Enjoy
