| - Cleveland food truck review #2: the season of (yuppie gourmet) meals on wheels at work continues--huzzah!
Upon being unshackled from my desk at midday, I scampered off to forage for some sustenance, preferably something new and tasty but not too heavy. For an establishment that runs on the tagline, "Comfort Food on Wheels," I knew I'd be hard pressed to find something truly light but I did my best, with what was left on the quickly diminishing options on the markerboard menu: sweet potato tater tots ($3) and gazpacho ($4).
The tater tots were served up hot, cinnamony sweet, crunchy, lightly coated with sea salt, and extremely filling. One order could have fed three people of average appetites, no problem. I importuned for a side of sauce and was given something that tasted like sirracha swirled in ketchup. Not bad.
The gazpacho was similarly served up in a cup that could have easily fed three people as well. Good grief. I snagged one of their plastic teaspoons to stir up the refreshing, spicy, pulpy raw tomato puree ice-cold soup--reminiscent of a gourmet V8 and perfect for the summer--and promptly lost my utensil in the depths of spicy tomato smoothie.
I almost always finish my plate, thanks to a somewhat stern and food-revering upbringing, and I certainly haven't been so uncomfortably full from side dishes at a food truck before, but I guess there's always a first. I'll most certainly back if I ever run into the Hodge Podge peeps again. The burgers (100% Angus beef)--including something dubbed the "Italian Stallion" smelled ferociously tantalizing and sported fluffy, gorgeous, shiny buns, which reminded me of that Filipino bread, pan de sal. I almost ordered the truffle mac (and cheese) but instead was forced to watch one of the truck attendants wipe it off the board, immediately after the three seconds it took me to read those words and finish marveling over what they meant: truffles?!!? mac and cheese! nom nom nom!
Didn't order any dranks but heard and saw tons of folks going for their apple soda--may have to snag one next time as well. The workflow/service seemed a little uneven and the utensil/napkin setup a little haphazard. Also, drinks were strangely stored in a cooler apart from the truck. The twenty-minute wait could've been shortened, but until they work it out, I say the eats are good enough to endure the kinks for now.
