| - Went to Jane Bond Food Truck on Canada Day down at Eau Claire. Line was long, so I thought I'd give it a try (in my experience, long lines means deliciousness). I didn't know the line was long because of how slow service was going to be. Fellow travelers with me went to another food truck with the same length of line, got their food, came to join me in line and had finished their food before I was even half-way through the line. Waited about 50 minutes to order. Ordered "brisket", baked beans, and mac 'n cheese. Debit machine shut down as I was paying due to low battery, so had to wait another 5 for the order taker to get it back on the dock, rebooted, and my order paid for. When I got my food, it was warmish, but not hot. Also, the "brisket" was definitely not brisket as my cut had two massive veins of fat running through the entirety of the slices I got. I've smoked my own briskets before and I know for a fact that the brisket cut from a cow does not have the large veins of fat that were in this beef. I am suspecting they used a cheaper cut of beef for this. The flavor profile was meh, but considering 30% of my meat was actually fat, I found this to be pretty poor. Sides were actually pretty tasty - mac and cheese had some type of crunchy topping that added a nice umami, and the baked beans were deliciously spicy. But, for a "BBQ" food truck, the main dish was incredibly lackluster and unappealing. Would not visit again.
