New York Street Food

We passed by the Morris Grilled Cheese Truck recently and saw they had expanded their menu with some interesting new sandwich choices.  In addition to a few classic grilled cheese sandwiches, they also had a hot pastrami, chili & cheddar, and the one that caught our eye right away – The Blue.

Not only did it have blue cheese, but there were also pickled beets (which are in season) and duck prosciutto (!)

Today’s Lunch is The Blue ($8) from the Morris Grilled Cheese Truck.

One of the more eagerly awaited food trucks in New York has been the Milk Truck.  Keith Klein and his posse have been building their reputation at food gatherings such as Brooklyn Flea over the past couple of years, and they recently had a stand at Madison Square Eats.

We enjoyed a grilled ham and cheese from the Milk Truck stand at Madison Square Eats, so we’ve tried their food once before, but this is our First Look at lunch from the actual Milk Truck.

We were tempted to go with their special, which was a classic grilled cheese and tomato soup combo ($10), but changed our mind at the last minute to the Three Cheese Grilled Cheese ($7.25).  I figured if I’m gonna have grilled cheese, let’s go for three different types.

We’ve been expecting to see the Milk Truck on the street for a while now, and yesterday it finally appeared.

The Milk Truck was operating a stand at Brooklyn Flea, and has been at many other food events around the city.  Despite their name, Milk Truck has only had an operating truck since Fashion Night Out in September, and now they are finally taking the plunge.

We had the pleasure of enjoying a grilled ham and cheese from the Milk Truck at Madison Square Eats, and it was delicious.  Can’t wait to try more of their sandwiches – and we hear their milkshakes are really good too.

You can follow the Milk Truck on twitter here, and they are also in our Mobile Munchies twitter feed.

I had to talk to James from Gorilla Cheese NYC about the Amazing New York Food Trucks 2012 Calendar, and he had a new special this week – a cheesesteak melt – which gave me a perfect excuse to head over there.

While I was waiting for the sandwich to be cooked, James asked me to try a new version of his mac & cheese, so that was Today’s Lunch: a grilled cheesesteak melt ($7) and a side order of macaroni & cheese ($3.75).

I got a look at the new Milk Truck last week during Fashions Night Out – but that’s about all I got.

When I arrived at the Milk Truck around 8:30pm, they were already out of the grilled cheese being given away in front of the Tory Burch store on Little West 12th St.  I was able to get a taste of a strawberry milkshake, which was made with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream.  It was frothy, creamy and delicious (but I didn’t get a photo).

The Milk Truck has been wowing crowds at Brooklyn Flea and other food events for some time, but the truck is brand new.  The owner, Keith Klein, told me the truck had just been delivered that day (last Thursday), and this was its maiden voyage.

I spoke to Keith for a few minutes about when they expect to be on the NYC streets, and a few other things.
