A no messing around guide to the coolest things to eat, drink and do in Vancouver and beyond. Community. Not clickbait.

AWESOME THING WE ATE #871: Mogu’s Miso Katsu & Karaage At “Food Cart Fest”

Mmm, we love Mogu, the new izakaya-themed food cart, especially their pork cutlet (“katsu”) sandwich with its red miso sauce and hot mustard coleslaw. We dug into it with a side of chicken karagge (and a shocking amount of other things) at yesterday’s Food Cart Fest in the back parking lot of The Waldorf Hotel. There’s only one of these gatherings of our mobile food vendors left – a last blast of summer – and it’s this upcoming Sunday from 12pm to 5pm. See you there.

Bonus: there’s a beer garden and some pretty kickass DJs.
