| - The gourmet food truck craze is reaching a frenzy in other parts of the country, so I'm glad to see it starting to catch on here in Cleveland!
The Touch Supper Truck is the on-wheels offering from the people at Touch Supper Club. You should expect the menu to vary from night to night, but last night they served a few different gourmet tacos, a couple of burgers, chicken wings, and fries (both regular and sweet potato).
I had the Chorizo Stuffed Banana, Whipped Goat Cheese, and Borboun BBQ Aioli taco, which was really delicious. My friends got the Kimche Chicken with Touch Sauce taco, the Kimche Beef taco, and the Korean Burger, and everyone thought they were fantastic (the praise from my friend who got the Kimche chicken taco was particularly gushing). We also got the Touch Belgian Frittes (french fries) which were some of the tastiest fries I've had in a while - and the Spicy Aioli was incredible! Next time I would get the sweet potato fries, though, because they looked really good.
They weren't particularly busy when I was there, so I had a chance to chat with the chef after we got our food. He was very friendly and willing to listen to feedback - they're still new at this food truck thing. He mentioned that they don't currently have a way for people to track the location of the food truck, but they will probably start posting to a twitter or facebook profile soon.
The down side to this truck is its price. The taco I had was $7 and the portion was on the small side given the price. I don't mind paying that much for good street food, but I would have been happier with a somewhat bigger portion. The fries were pretty well sized, however, and two orders fed five of us comfortably. The drinks, at $3/each, were pricey as well. You shouldn't expect to get a full meal here for less than about $12.
Overall though, I would happily revisit this truck. They have the flexibility to show up at all kinds of interesting venues (we saw them at the 78th Street Studios open studio event), and I ultimately don't mind paying a little extra to have some really delicious food at a venu that otherwise wouldn't have as good (or any!) other options.
