Welcome 2016
2015 was an incredibly busy year with lots of travel. I was concerned about posting too much about my whereabouts due to concerns for security. I had an attempted break in at my home while traveling. Now I have upgraded my home security system with ADT alarm system and cameras amongst other improvements. I hope to be back on track with the Veterinary Nomad blog this year. More books, more food and more travels planned for 2016.

Stops along the Way - Portland Street Food Cart
After perusing the options we decided on the Portland Soup Company.
Paul's pickled beets, homemade mozzarella and arugula on a honey drizzled wheat roll was something he will try at home. My smoked pork butt had a distinct but not overwhelming smoked favor. The cabbage and apple salad was carefully composed to have a wonderful balance of sweet tang.
It will be hard to look at choices from other carts until the Portland Soup Company offerings have been fully explored.

Veterinary Nomad - Foodie Alert Slaw Dogs, Pasadena, CA
Veterinary Nomad - Foodie Alert Slaw Dogs, Pasadena, CA
I first heard about Slaw Dogs on the Food Network's Guy Fieri's DDD (if you don't know what I mean by DDD, then go to the Food Network and look it up, as we say at WesternU, "PBL it."). I made a note on my To Do List: bomb dog - Pasadena. Later on, in my veterinarian mind set I read the note and wondered to myself, What bomb dog do I know in Pasadena? I know a bomb dog in Orange County and one in the Bay Area. I don't know one in Pasadena.". It took me a few to recall the signature hit dog at Slaw Dogs is the Bomb or the TNT! www.theslawdogs.com
I have enjoyed several Slaw Dogs now. The TNT Super Dog (AKA the "Good Timer") is the must try. It is enormous so bring your appetite. A 12 inch rippered dog with chili, cheese, bacon, pastrami, fries, grilled onions and a fried egg in a tortilla. Incredible. The Thai Slaw Dog is a fusion delight: chicken sausage, spicy peanut satay dressing, cilantro-carrot slaw with spicey sesame mayo. The Reuben Dog delivers the the classic doggie version - pastrami with Russian Dressing on rye & a spicy Polish to finish. Today's special, Mac-n-cheese Dog starts off as expected with great Mac-n-cheese on a dog, then you make it Slaw Dog Special by adding grilled onions, bacon and a thin layer of Dijon mustard. The Dijon is just the subtle kick that is unexpected. They don't over do the mustard, it is just enough to know it is there and to tilt the combination towards a new taste result. It's the same that is accomplished in the TNT and the thin layer of chili that is used. It is enough to tease the palette without overwhelming the overall taste.
Great News - new locations are coming soon including a location on Buena Vista in Duarte! This is near the City of Hope and one of the regular Veterinary Nomad stops!
