A few weeks ago, my wife and I had a progressive dinner at some of the Austin Food trailers/trucks. We wanted to go back to try Gourdough's. Gourdough's is of course a doughnut truck that fries them up when you order it. With so many yummy options to choose from, we decided to go light (as light as one can go with a doughnut) and had narrowed it down to the Flying Pig (bacon with maple syrup icing), Son of a Peach (peach filling, cinnamon, sugar & cake mix topping), and the Slow Burn (habanero pepper jelly and cream cheese). Still being a little full from dinner at Clay Pit (Indian food), I just didn't think that I could tackle the Flying Pig and my wife wasn't too keen on the Son of a Peach, so that left us with the Slow Burn.
We luckily found a seat at one of the few picnic tables (it gets extremely crowded at dusk with there being 3 different food trucks in the lot). After about a 7 minute wait, they called my name and we were now in business. The size of the doughnut is about the size of a large hamburger. The doughnut tasted a lot like a funnel cake, but it was delicious. We both thought that there was a little too much cream cheese on it, as we had to scrap some off to enjoy more of the doughnut taste.
As we were walking back to the car, I saw a little girl about the age of 7 carrying a Flying Pig and immediately regretted not getting it. Oh well, there's a good reason to make a trip back down south Austin!
