Our first review from Food Porn Daily!
Popina Provi
By Arthur McCritic
When I
heard that there was a new “Roman style” food truck in town I was immediately
intrigued. I decided to walk up the hill a sample some traditional Roman
cuisine. Normally, I would try to give the chefs the benefit of the doubt, but
this truck is a special case. The food here was god-awful. First of all, I am
positive they did not use any sugar in any of their cooking. All the dishes on
the menu were so bland, mostly consisting of different grains and poorly cooked
meats covered in fish sauce. Honestly, it seemed like everything was covered in
fish sauce! The wine had a strong taste of resin, and they tried offered me
water to pour in the wine. Then I said I would prefer a beer, and they laughed
and called me a barbarian heathen. I tried to spice up the food with some of
their condiments but all they offered me was honey. The worst part of the whole
experience was the scantily clad women dancing around me while I was trying to
sample this trucks pathetic excuse for food. In short, do not waste your time or hard earned money at this truck, take your business elsewhere.
When we made this establishment, we wanted to create an authentic Roman dining experience. Our menu, and the way the food is prepared accurately represents ancient Roman cuisine. Maybe Mr. McCritic should attend one of Professor Susan Alcock's lecture to learn some history.
