Nibbles: A food truck with Southwest spice that’s worth traveling for

If you want to be sure to land your favorite meal from Nibbles Seattle, a high-heat operation offering some of the spiciest and tastiest morsels in the south end, you best break out the calendar.

Hardworking owners Robert and Carmen Breckenridge are logging some serious miles on their food trailer, serving up Southern fusion fare at locales from Kent to Vashon. Lucky for us, we don't have to leave the mainland for smoked meatloaf or Sunnyside Hash: fire-hot, skillet-fried yams, kale, apples and ground turkey, topped with a perfectly fried egg.

We recently caught up with Nibbles at the Des Moines Farmers Market, where the Breckenridges started their culinary adventure as a food tent in 2014. The couple say they enjoy the travel, and, after our satisfying meal, we're happy to follow along.

Smaller bites include a smoked meatloaf slider ($4); order it with potato salad for $6.50.

Don't miss: The Chalupa, a delight for the eyes and taste buds, got more interesting with each bite. The smoked meatloaf sandwich carries a good burn that is cooled by the sweet brioche bun.

The setting: Could be a parking lot. Could be a farmers market. The Nibbles trailer travels far and wide. Pick your place. The service is friendly and fast.

Summing up: A smoked meatloaf sandwich, Sunnyside Hash, Chalupa and The Wookiee fed three and came to $36, before tax and tip. There should have been leftovers, but, well, it was too good to save.
