Re: Patty Wagon
The company I worked for has a monthly company sponsored luncheon. Somehow my chats about food trucks with the HR person responsible for setting up the catering convinced her to get a food truck for the luncheon. Patty Wagon apparently was able to fit the bill. Patty Wagon offered “unlimited sliders and french fries” for a set amount of time.
The sliders were decent. I think the brioche bun they used gave the gave the slider a pretty dry taste. Adding condiments (ketchup/mustard) didn’t really help making the burger moist. I used the sliced tomatoes in hopes of adding some juice for the bun to soak up. They also didn’t have onions. No onions!! That is wrong on so many levels. Their meat was really good. I don’t know if its because the meat comes from grass fed cows. But I suppose this whole grass fed meat was something that makes Patty Wagon “uniquely” different from all the rest of the “hamburger” food trucks.
The french fries were cut in a unique way. It looked as if it was peeled since the fries were unusually flat and long yet wasn’t very curly.
Re: Lee’s Philly
Philly Cheesesteak Korean BBQ style. I had the chance to try them out once by ordering just a taco. I had already bought dinner from the Dumpling Station and Shrimp Guys and just wanted to see what they taste like. Man their Kogi Beef taco was good. They overfilled the taco not only with meat but with the crunchy cabbage (or lettuce) topping. Unfortunately to eat this taco was to be a very messy eater. In the end, I had a very difficult time picking up the taco by hand and resorted to a fork.
After the initial taco, I went back a week later looking for dinner. I bought two tacos (one beef one chicken) and a kogi beef cheesesteak. The cheesesteak was amazingly good. Although it wasn’t very spicy, it still had a slight kick. What made it very good was the juices from the meat soaked into the bread softening it up. Each bite was had a korean yet gooey cheese flavor. This cheesesteak got messy very fast. I had a hard time picking up the cheesesteak and ate it with a fork after two bites. The tacos were also eaten with a fork too.
I think this place has better tacos than Calbi. Their tacos might be better than Kogi’s as well. The wait certainly is better than Kogi’s although lately they have been getting more business so wait time is somewhat longer.
Re: CheTruck
There is no website for this. They recently opened up and bill themselves as an “Argentinian cuisine” truck. I’m not expert in South American food so I honestly don’t know if its “authentic” or not. One of their specialty dishes was the empanadas. I ordered the three different empanadas they had - beef, chicken and pork.
The beef and pork were really good. The beef actually reminded me of the Brazilian Ta-Bom Truck’s beef pastel. The flavoring was very similar to each other. The pork was very good. It was the last item I ate so it had cooled a bit already. But I think it would have been really good fresh out of the deep fryer. The last empanda wasn’t as good as the other two.
