Creme brulee is one of those desserts I'd always heard about, was sort of familiar with by description but had never tried until a couple years ago. I've since had some really good creme brulee and some really bad. Let's place Torched Goodness in the "really good" category!
A work friend mentioned last year how amazing TG's lavender creme brulee was. I thought that was an odd flavor for this dessert but she raved about it. I happened across the TG truck at T&C one Wednesday but the line was way too long so I didn't stick around for a taste. The same friend invited me and another co-worker to join her at the Downtown Public Market site for "Food Truck Friday" and we all hoped the "creme brulee guy" would be there. Sure enough, he was!
Lunch was great, but dessert was better. There were four flavors available that day (vanilla, lavender, chocolate-peanut butter, and salted caramel). We each got a different flavor (we didn't try vanilla) and shared. Wow - really wonderful flavors! I didn't expect to like the lavender, but it was surprisingly nice. I don't think I can choose a favorite between the chocolate-PB and caramel, but I will say the flecks of sea salt on the caramel makes it spectacular.
I have since learned Torched Goodness is at Urban Beans on 7th St. & Osborn every Tuesday afternoon from 4-6pm. It just so happens I live blocks from there and can easily stop in on my way home from work. This could be a love affair in the making!
