Re: Rebel Bite
So this particular truck is pretty new. Of course I didn’t really know what they served. The menu looked interesting... it was grilled cheese sandwiches but with a twist? I don’t know what kind of twists you can add to the standard grilled cheese that the Grilled Cheese Truck hasn’t done yet. I would be surprised if people don’t compare grilled cheese to the aforementioned Grilled Cheese Truck. That truck seems to have a stranglehold on grilled cheese similar to how Kogi has with Korean BBQ tacos.
Anyways, Rebel Bite menu consists of the standard grilled cheese but you can add either pork, tuna or korean bbq pork. They also offered a veggie option with eggplant. As usual, I always seem to forget my camera when eating new trucks. I had their pork grilled cheese. The cheese wasn’t very gooey. The pork WAS NOT pulled pork. I’m not sure if it was because it was a cold day, but the sandwich wasn’t as hot as I think it should have been. I think I was most disappointed with the pork. The pork tasted similar to the kind of pork you get at Trader Joe’s. It was chopped up into small bits so when I bit into the grilled cheese, I had some bites with pork and other bites without. There was no consistency in pork flavor from bite to bite.
The chili was a different story. The mini-cup of chili was probably THE BEST THING I had. It would be awesome if they can some how incorporate a “grilled chili cheese” sandwich with the chili they use. Wouldn’t that be almost like a sloppy joe?
There’s another grilled cheese truck rolling around somewhere. I need to find it.
Re: Bollywood Bites
Indian curry truck. I tried this truck on my normal Wed. lunch outings with a coworker. I got the combo which included two curries (chicken tikka masala and channa masala), naan and rice. The chicken tikka masala was exceptionally good. The channa masala (chick pea) wasn’t as good. For some reason despite being the same curry sauce base, the channa masala was alot soupier than the tikka masala. What’s even more horrible was that the chickpeas weren’t mushy like some of the previous channa masala’s that I’ve had (Shalimar in San Francisco). I was really disappointed in that particular curry. The chicken tikka masala had a good spice to it. It was rich and clumped up the rice very well. I think they can make a better curry. They didn’t offer any lamb curry or beef curry.
