Caplansky's is our first stop, a Jewish deli truck out of Toronto, Ontario, serving up classics with a twist such as the WZE Sandwich, featuring grilled kosher style salami, schmaltz laced chopped liver, red onions and Russian honey mustard all in a mini challah bun! We then cool things down at the Lake St Creamery who are serving up deliciously unique ice cream flavors including home made donuts, Earl Grey Tea and even Whiskey. Next we rock up in Nashville Tennessee for some original Mexican gourmet at the Yayo's OMG truck. Topping off this episode, we go nuts for donuts in Austin, Texas at the Gourdough's truck. These guys do donuts unlike anyone else such as The Porky's, injected with Jalapeno jelly and topped with cream cheese and Canadian bacon. Mmmm, donuts.
