We were contacted by a new food truck that debuted over the weekend called Fresh And Hearty. We couldn’t make it there Sunday, but were able to stop by yesterday when they were serving lunch on 47th St between Park & Madison.

As you can see from the side of the truck, the menu is panini, salad and soup.

We opted for the Turkey Muenster Jam Panini, which had turkey and a few other ingredients, but no jam. They must have meant jam in the colloquial sense. The panini cost $7, and here is the panini menu.

There were also about half a dozen soups to choose from, and we decided to get a small chicken & dumpling soup for $4.

As we told you recently, there’s a new food cart splitting its time between Dumbo and Hudson Square called The Steel Cart.

The menu looked interesting, and we could not pass up something called a Bourgeois Pig, which costs $8.

You can add a mini-soup to any sandwich for $3.50, but we were splitting a soup and sandwich with someone else, so we got the full-size Vegetable Barley Soup for $6.

We took the day off work yesterday to get some things done around the house. At lunchtime, we headed out to see who was around the neighborhood, and wouldn’t you know it, there was a new cart on Varick and Vandam called The Steel Cart.

The logo is a beautiful chef’s knife, and the menu was hearty Euro-American fare. Our expectations were pretty high looking at this menu.

Wanting to try more than one item, and needing to bring lunch home for my wife too, we went for the Brown Cow for $8 and a Split Pea with Ham soup for $6.  You can add a mini-soup to any sandwich for $3.50, but splitting a large soup and sandwich worked out right for us.

If you’re like me, you probably looked at the title of this post and said “What? Why would you put macaroni & cheese on toast and grill it?”

The answer is because we were expecting to have sloppy joe on the sandwich too. Unfortunately, they were sold out of the sloppy joe add-on a little after 1pm, so we ended up with just mac & cheese in the sandwich. It cost $6 by itself and $8 with sloppy joe.

It was still pretty darn good. Click through for the down low on a toasted mac & cheese sandwich from Toast Monster.

Years ago when we first started learning about Elvis Presley, we heard about 1) the music 2) the Ed Sullivan Show where he was only allowed to be filmed from the waist up, and 3) his favorite comfort food, a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich.

Munchie Mobile has their own version with a couple of additions. We’re not sure if these additions were on Elvis’ sandwiches, or if they are taking artistic license, but one thing’s for sure – it looked crazy good!

The Elvis cost $7.50 at the Munchie Mobile.
