Found Red Barn and had a hard time deciding between the Frenchman and the Beast Nachos. Since we were sharing, we went with the Nachos. They did not disappoint. Chips (purple sweet potato) were loaded with kalua pig, melted cheese-which I am pretty sure they melted on the griddle, then scooped and placed on the cheese, sour cream, avo and tomato. It was a lot of food for $15. Chips stayed crunchy from the first bite to the last. Can't wait to try a special grilled cheese next time I am in Waimea.

However, since we have some family members with lots of food allergy issues (gluten free, dairy free), they were able to find the right thing for all of us. That was truly an incredible, thoughtful feat and we will absolutely be back next time we are in Hawaii. Service was great and they set great expectations since there were a lot of people ahead of us. Also the farmers market ambience was very relaxed and enjoyable.

I was sad and happy all at once eating The Purple Pig. Happy I was eating such a delicious and creative sandwich. Sad that I had to share it with my wife. And sad when I took my last bite because it was all gone. The Purple Taro bread was fun, creative and delicious. The Kalua pig was tender, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this food truck!

The Frenchman is an amazing sandwich--shrooms, Gruyère, French onion and truffle salt. Getting hungry thinking about it. read more The Frenchman is an amazing sandwich--shrooms, Gruyère, French onion and truffle salt. Getting hungry thinking about it.

The tomato soup is light and would be delicious on its own. The homemade pickle has a slight sweetness, and my sister adored it. If you're concerned about calories, you might want to skip the chips—the cheesy melt is definitely worth every bite! Aloha!
