I was at a beer tasting for a homebrewers competition at Wigle Whiskeys Barrelhouse this past weekend whenever The Steer and Wheel pulled up. It had been noted on the tastings website that they would be there and I was more than ready to try the food from what has been an elusive food truck for myself.
After perusing the menu I decided to go with the spicy one burger while my wife went with the Curly's Truffle I think. We also decided to get a large order of fries and a fry dipper of truffle mayonnaise to share. After about 5 minutes or so our burgers and fries were ready. Immediately I could tell that the burger bun was toasted nicely as it had a great golden brown color to it. I believe that my burger was made with a house-ground beef and chorizo blend and then topped with some fried jalapenos, ghost chile jack cheese and a spicy sauce. The meat of the burger was cooked nicely as it was flavorful and juicy. I loved the toppings for it too as it gave the burger a bit of spice without going too far overboard. My wife also really enjoyed her burger. Whenever we finished our burgers we ended up digging into the fries. They looked like freshly cut fries and were both really crispy and salted perfectly. After enjoying a couple of them plain, I decided that I should dip a few of them into the truffle mayo. Holy crap, was it good. I think it is something that I could eat every day for the rest of my life and still be happy eating it.
The bottom line for me is that I would buy food from the Steer and Wheel truck if I see them again. The fries were simply amazing while the burgers were pretty good too!
