Tuesday night we hung out on the streets of Rochester’s big annual international Jazz Festival eating cart food (artichokes french for me and Louisiana cookin’ for Ted) and finding some cool shade to sit beneath and listen to great jazz tunes from wonderful bands – everything from big band to smooth jazz and in between. It was totally lovely. Good jazz music is just so great.
Wednesday after work we booked it over to the food truck rodeo at the public market for some grub, sunshine, and more live music.
This time we decided to try out The Daily Refresher’s truck since many of the other trucks were parked at Jazz fest instead.
Meanwhile, Ted found gizzards – a happy throwback to the gizzardfest he and his sister attending in Michigan a few years back.
We passed on the gizzards and stuck with more gourmet comfort food fare – and it was fantastic! Although next time I’m trying the carrot dog that has intrigued me so the past two rodeos!
Cheeseburger with cheddar, bacon, arugula, caramelized onions, tomato, and egg on a toasted bun…so good.
Crispy fries with fresh parsley, fresh garlic, and parmesan…they were outstanding and packed with flavor!
Watermelon and green apple Italian ice!
So glad he’s here for good :)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Summer rules!
