The variety of activities at Summer street festivals is, in my opinion, one of the reasons why they are beloved throughout this country and other countries. A sunny day, happy people, new things to look at, interesting items to purchase and delicious foods to eat are all part of the experience. I discovered this food vendor at the Fremont Festival of the Arts and have since been obsessively researching where to find them next.
Their main activity is catering, but information on their regularly scheduled events or farmer's market locations can be found on their web site.

Here are some of the things I've enjoyed.
Porchetta and Mushroom Sandwich. The pillowy fresh-baked focaccia bread was a fantastic vehicle for soaking up juices. The porchetta was perfectly cooked, with tender meat, seasoned throughout with herbs and garlic. The mushrooms added a savory depth of flavor that enhanced the meatiness of the meat. The pork crackling placed on top to preserve the crunch was the "icing" on this fantastic sandwich.
I almost went back to order the "porchetta by the pound", but the line ended up too long and I didn't want to wait. I will have to keep them in mind for the next event, or even to cater my own event. I just need to think of a good excuse to have a party.
