Upslidedown Dave

I noticed the UpslideDown Dave truck at the Heavy Seas Taproom in Lansdowne, but I know they get around. I’ve tried several of their sliders in the past, and as with any selection some stand out and others are not favorites. On this visit we ordered a mushroom slider and hamburger slider. The mushroom was tasty and perfect in that I wished it was bigger so I could have more. The burger suffered from the main problem that most modern American burgers have: it was stuffed so full of toppings that it would not fit in my mouth. One problem was the small buns they were using were a little too sturdy for burgers. The mushroom compressed well enough but it caused an issue with the burger. They were also offering a special, and when a food truck offers a special that is what you get. Tonight it was a chicken chili that was phenomenal. The spices blended well with the beans, but it was packed full of tender pulled chicken. We could have ordered three bowls of just that. Sliders are always fun regardless, but we’ll keep an eye out for their specials.

Something I love about summertime is the weekly food truck gatherings that take place. Roughly once a week (weather permitting) there is a venue with about ten or more food trucks willing to serve some of their finest food truck creations. Recently I was at a food truck gathering and I spotted a truck I hadn’t seen before UpSlideDown Dave’s. The truck specializes in sliders and I knew this was the truck I wanted to try.
After briefly looking over the menu, I decided to try two sliders for $ 10.
I’m a sucker for hot sauce and the buffalo chicken slider sounded right up my alley. The chicken had the right about of spice but wasn’t overpowering with the blue cheese slaw. This slider was loaded with buffalo chicken goodness and was really delicious. I preferred the pulled chicken over the typical fried chicken you get in a buffalo chicken sandwich and I can’t wait to find this truck again and order another buffalo chicken slider.
My other slider I ordered was the Bacon Blue Cheese Slider. This was ground beef, tomato, crushed potato chips, bacon marmalade and blue cheese slaw. It was also delicious. Honestly next time I’m at UpSlideDown Dave’s it’s going to be hard to decide if I should order the same two sliders that I already loved, or try new ones that are probably also delicious.
These were hands down two of the best sliders I’ve ever had and I will be stalking UpSlideDown Dave’s on Facebook and Twitter to try some more delicious sliders again soon.
