The final KNOW GOOD Market of the season is here, and with it chilly temperatures and food to warm your insides. Join us along with our vendor of the month, the Banh Meee food truck, as we indulge in street food, beer, and coffee while dancing to the DJ and catching up with friends.
Opened in the summer of 2017, the Banh Meee truck serves two of Vietnam's best known dishes: banh mi and pho, along with a rotating number of lesser known items that owner, Dung Tran, hopes to introduce to the Greater Hartford community. The Banh Meee truck can frequently be found parked at Mortensen Riverfront Plaza during the week, and Hanging Hills Brewery and Hog River Brewery on weekends. At the KNOW GOOD Market he'll be serving Pho Ga (with chicken), Pho Bo (with beef brisket), Bun Bo Ho (a noodle dish with beef slices, pork meatballs, and chicken chu lau in a spicy broth with veggies), spicy coleslaw with chicken, pork egg rolls with vermicelli noodles, banh mi with cha lau (chicken sausage), Vietnamese iced coffee, and jasmine flavored iced tea.
Who else will be there? The Cafe at Fifty-Five will be open across the street, serving coffee and crepes, Samba's Cuisine Food Truck offering Brazilian flavors, Mercado with their Span-ish tapas, the newly named CraftBird & Co. Food Truck (formerly Yardbird) serving fried chicken and farm fresh deliciousness, Let's Start From Scratch with her famous edible cookie dough, Heirloom Market at Comstock Ferre with healthy juices and baked goods, The Butcher & Red bringing the meat, Faddy's with a variety of donuts, Dee's Flavors cooking up all your guilty pleasures, Taco Tequila Food Truck making authentic Mexican tacos, Quick Bites serving West Indian cuisine and Loafing Around taking care of all of your gluten cravings. And then of course Hog River Brewing will be open and serving their Hartford made beer including the KNOW GOOD Pale Ale.
