I've been stalking these guys on twitter for a while since I had heard good things. Today's tweet revealed that they were in Oakland at "Soldiers & Sailors". "Hot Dog!' thought I, knowing what a terrible pun it was.
It was almost not to be as I assumed the truck would be parked with the other trucks and waited nearby for 10 minutes. Not so! They are parked literally on the steps of Soldiers & Sailors. Ordered the veggie dog with 'kraut and a side of "boring" (aka plain) fries. Fries were great but I was quickly jealous of the guy in front of me who got them with vegan gravy and cheese. I shall not make this mistake again.
Veggie dog was... fine. I'm guessing boiled which I've found is not my favorite way to cook a tofu pup. Makes it really bland. I think maybe next time I'll ask them to pop it in the deep fryer like the guy behind me did (smarty pants) OR ask for a little vegan gravy right on the dog.
Still, I appreciate a business who makes an effort with veggie customers. And let's face it... it's just plain ol' fun to order from a food truck! I'm glad Frank and I have moved beyond the stalker phase into the beginnings of a beautiful relationship.
