| - I took a trip to the Downtown 3rd Famer's Market today on my lunch break to grab some fresh fruit and veggies for the next week. Last time I went, I had Fuku burger (can't go wrong), but this time I saw the Rusty Pickle truck and thought I'd give it a try.
I ordered 2 sliders - 1 pork and 1 chicken and an order of sweet potato fries. I sat down and the order was brought to me within 5 minutes. 5 points for speed!
When an employee brought me my sliders, she asked me if I wanted any sauce with them? I was slightly surprised because I assumed their meat would have already been seasoned/sauced, but I said yes and she brought me a side of the "sweet and spicy" BBQ sauce.
The pork slider was really juicy and moist, served on a Hawaiian bun with some onion. However, it lacked flavor. I now understand why she asked me for sauce. Had I not said yes, I wouldn't have been able to take more than a couple of bites of this bland pulled pork slider. The chicken was almost exactly the same as the pork, just a little bit less juicy. There really wasn't anything impressive about this meat... very bland and not on par with other sliders such as the Slider Truck.
However, the sweet potato fries were absolutely wonderful and if this truck ONLY served sweet potato fries they would get 5 stars! The fries were crispy, cooked perfectly, and seasoned with something wonderful.
Also, a coworker of mine had the fried pickles and she said they were AMAZING.
Overall, I wouldn't chose this truck over any other local food trucks because the lack of flavor was really disappointing.
