We have been out and about trying the food on some of the new food trucks and unable to resist a few special favorites from the veterans of the scene. Here's what we've been eating!<\/p>\n

At City Hall Plaza, we enjoyed some slices from the Sweet Tomatoes Pizza Truck.<\/a> We always like to start a pizza test with pepperoni and plain cheese. These two slices will bring us back to test more of their menu. <\/p>\n

Our first taste from the truck representing Biryani Park Sri Lankan\/South Indian restaurant<\/a> from Malden was the Chicken Biryani (shown above). It was great with the chicken cooked on the bone for full flavor and a sweet garnish of carmelized onions. We can't wait to try more of their menu items. (Click on any photo for a larger version)<\/p>\n

This scallop roll and clam chowder are from the Boston Shuckin' Truck!<\/a> These folks offer grilled items that are a welcome change from fried seafood. The chowder was nice and thin (we are not pasty chowder fans) with an herbal undertone. <\/p>\n

At Captain Marden's Cod Squad Truck<\/a>, we recommend one of their salads if you're in a hurry. This one had a piece of masterfully poached salmon. Update:<\/strong> The Boston Shuckin' Truck has disappeared from the Boston street scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

We continue to be attracted to their daily chowder specials. Here you see their shimp gumbo and crab and corn chowder. Both worthy of a second visit. Earlier, we reported on their Rhode Island, Rocky Point Clam Chowder and clamcakes.<\/a><\/p>\n

We also could not resist a visit to the new Boston Super Dog Truck<\/a> (formerly Boston Speed Dog) to see how Chef Greg's grilled pastrami tastes off a new grill. It lived up to our memories and it's nice to have him within easy reach without a car to get to Newmarket Square. Bring a friend, these portions are big enough to share!<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Sadly for his fans, Chef Greg died and the Boston Super Dog Truck is no more.<\/span><\/p>\n
