Food Truck Edition: Super Truck

Okay, so after a day of shopping downtown, I stopped by The Super Truck along Parc avenue at Mount Royal park all by my lonesome. I was hungry and willing to scoff down just about anything. I saw that they had three choices on the menu: The super sandwich, some cheesy macaroni something and the third option was crossed out; it looked to be chicken wings. So, I opted for the Super Sandwich ($9, chicken, house bacon, lettuce, processed cheese on a hamburger bun). Again, for the price I was really expecting a LARGE, SUPER feed, but again I was indeed disappointed.  Yes, it tasted good, yes, the ingredients appeared to be fresh, but it can best be described as a greasy, glorified BLT. 

So, when I received it at the window, it was packaged in a white and red checkered paper; the kind of thing that makes you think of a picnic! As I grabbed it, it was greasified, so I took some extra napkins to wipe my hands! As I opened, more grease on the bun and in the wrapping. I figured the culprit was the bacon.  The chicken chunk was pretty big and despite the wetness of the sandwich, it was rather easy to eat. Overall, I would have to say that this should be sold for $6. There really is no special ingredient that would justify that price. 

All that said, I think the truck itself is pretty cool, the service was quick and friendly and if you are hungry, the Super Sandwich will fill the void for about an hour.  So far, I would like to see some healthier choices with the food trucks though and looking back, perhaps Landry et Filles had the healthiest choice of the trucks we've tried so far. 

Would I go back to this SuperTruck? probably not. Unless they lower the price. 

Food Truck Edition: Landry & Filles

Every now and again, my moo feels like I deserve a day off from the kitchen. So we decided on trying one of the food trucks. With Montreal's food trucks rolling in this summer, we thought, why not make a bucket list and eat at every single one of them over the next two months and then review them right here. We will only review the things we have tried obviously and log our experiences from wait times, to packaging to "was it enough food?!" 

So our first truck stop, Landry & Filles. We found her right at the base of Mount Royal one Thursday evening. Since I was craving a Subway turkey sub, I decided to have a turkey sandwich and Moo had  the roast beef sandwich with a side of potato salad for a total of $20.

We both agree that the baguette style bread was so fresh and yummy and easy to bite into, and despite the flavour and high quality cold cuts, there just wasn't enough of it! For hungry meat eaters who love a good sandwich, we felt you could have called these "turkey and beef flavoured." 

The potato salad ($3) was delicious, simply dressed, perfectly seasoned and tasted uber fresh, but again, it was a teaser since it was done in three bites; ordering 4 portions would have satisfied. 

So, overall, the experience was a good one, but in this case it may have been a tad over priced for the serving size. Or else, Landry & Filles could keep the same prices but up the meat between their bread! 

Would we go back? Yes.
