OMG! I love living downtown for so many reasons. And I got to add Torched Goodness to my list tonight. I first encountered this gourmet food truck at the Wednesday Public Market on Bastille Day. They were hosting a French Dessert Smackdown. I got to sample the lavender creme brulee, which was heavenly. But tonight, thanks to social networking, I learned before I even left work that food trucks would be on my very street for First Friday tonight. My friend and I rode our bikes the mere block to the corner lot, where we once again encountered Torched Goodness.
A cursory inspection of the menu revealed the clear winner: maple creme brulee with the optional carmelized bacon topping. We're talking organically raised bacon and local sourced dairy. Torched before your very eyes! It should probably be illegal. It's that good.
Dude is a serious foodie and localist. And a super-friendly guy. He's Le Cordon Bleu trained and loves what he does so much that you just feel good sitting at his folding table. I give Torched Goodness my whole-hearted 5 stars.
