You don’t see a lot of street food vendors catering to customers for Passover. First of all, many street cart vendors are Arabs. Even though they are in New York, we don’t expect to see them serving matzoh sandwiches during Passover.
The Jewish vendors like Taim and Pocketful are closed for the duration of the holiday, but Gorilla Cheese came up with a different approach – matzoh melts! Today may be the last day of Passover, so you still have one more day to enjoy them.
Walking up to the truck on Friday, there were handwritten signs for the weekly special, and a sign that any sandwich on the menu can be made into a matzoh melt.
We went for this week’s special – Swiss and muenster cheese, caramelized onions, tomato, chipotle aioli and…wait for it…bacon!
Now we can be observant and subversive at the same time. Somewhere underground, our ancestors are rolling in their graves.
