Saturday Night Truck Stop

BOH BRAWL MAY 12TH!!!!!! @ tommyrockers

The last winner of the Back Of the House Brawl was Chef Mike of Border Grill.  The PBR trophy has made a home for itself at Border Grill inside Mandalay Bay for the last few weeks but it’s time to get the competition going once again.  May 12th the Saturday Night Truck Stop is honored to have Chef Mike Armstrong and Chef Josh Crain battle on the food trucks.

In one corner.. Chef Josh Crain. Representing Nob HIll/Seablue!

And in the other corner Chef Mike Armstrong of TAO.

When the BOH BRAWL started each chef received a mystery basket of ingredients to create one or two dished for the judges using the food trucks as their kitchen but now the chefs are teamed up with a food truck in advance so they can come ready to sell their own street food for 1 hour, letting everyone in the crowd have the chance to experience the ridiculous late night eats. The last brawl was battle GRILLED CHEESE.  Chef Roy of Sensi and Chef Mike of Border Grill had a blast at 1am pumping out their interpretation of the best grilled cheese but at the end of the day there could only be one winner and Mike took it.

The BOH BRAWL on May 12th each chef will be selling their own interpretation of STREET FOOD ON A STICK! Each chef can create whatever they want as long as it is served on a stick.  They Judges will be Jim Begley, writer for the weekly & Al Mancini, Vegas’s food critic and Donna Rocker of Tommy Rockers. You can follow both of the guys daily on twitter.. Jim Begley aka @splurgemonkey, Al Mancini is @almancinivegas and @DonnaRocker.  Al also has a live webcast every Thursday @7pm, Top Of The Food Chain. The chefs will be judged on a point system, 5 points for taste, 5 points for creativity and 5 points best interpretation of street food, a total of 15 points.

Chef Mike Armstrong will be serving his street food from the FUKUBURGER truck and Chef Josh Crain will be cooking on LOLA D’s Kitchen. The REDNECK Kitchen and SnOwOnO will also be at Tommy Rockers for your pleasure;)

This coming Saturday is the FOODIE FEST at the Silverton.  There will be 30 food trucks at the event so go out and support your local food trucks Saturday and Sunday at the Silverton.

Winner of the BOH BRAWL!!!!!!!

Another winner at the TRUCK STOP !!! Thanks Chefs are playing after hours and giving the crowd, your service industry some great EATS after work! The BRAWL for this past Saturday was battle GRILLED CHEESE. Each chef had to show up ready to cook.  Chef Roy Ellamar of Sensi at Bellagio was up against Chef Mike MInor of Border Grill at Mandalay Bay.  They both showed up ready, Chef Roy was cooking on Sausagefest and Chef Mike took over Lola D’s Kitchen. 

The Judges were Jim Begley, write for the Las Vegas Weekly, Susan Stapleton, writer for Eater Vegas and the famous Donna Rocker.  They are all lovers of grilled cheese and if you ask me there is NO bad grilled cheese EVER;) unless it’s been sitting out for a day or two… anyway… both chefs came with not your typical grilled cheese to present to the crowd and judges.  

Quesadilla was Chef Mike Minors creation….

ANd Chef Roys Pate Melts.

There was a little teasing of the trophy while the brawl was taking place, and it’s just fun to carry it around while drinking.

After selling for 1 hour and making $$$ for the Culinary Students of Silverado High School the brawl was over and it was time to announce the winner.  Each chef came with a big support team of their FOH and BOH staff which led to a great energy among the crowd but at the end of the day there can only be one winner of the BOH BRAWL and it was CHEF MIKE MINOR!!!! 

Both chefs had a great time and are supports of the local food trucks scene and bring community together one bite at a time. It was a great night for the kids also.  Nob Hill and Seablue, both Micheal Mina restaurants donated dinner for two and a signed cookbook for a raffle to raise money for the culinary students to go to Baltimore.

 I’m happy to say that overall we raised just over $3600 for them.  Thanks to everyone that came out and gave just a little.  The Truck Stop is a weekly event and we have a BOH BRAWL as often as we can.  You can follow me on twitter @sntruckstop to get the weekly line up of trucks and or BOH BRAWL chefs or you can check the blog or updates also.
