New York Street Food

New Jersey is about to get a little sweeter!

The Le Petit Temptation dessert truck is ready to roll back into Jersey City tomorrow.  They will be at the Creative Grove Market next to the PATH exit on Fridays, and by Hamilton Park on Saturdays.

Le Petit Temptation is a modern French patisserie that we have written about in the past.  We tried them at the 2010 NYC Food Film Festival Drive-In, and have kept in touch with the owner Jessie ever since.

Jessie was selling his line of pastries at the Liberty Towers gourmet shop on Hudson St in Jersey City and at the Greene-Ville Gardens store in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, but we’re not sure if that is still the case.

So what can you expect from Le Petit Temptation?

Le Petit Temptation/Louisiana Spice Truck at the NYCFFF

We recently checked in with Jessie Dardar, owner and chef of the Louisiana Spice Truck and his dessert alter ego, Le Petit Temptation.

The Louisiana Spice Truck usually parks in Jersey City, but is off the road for the winter.  It is expected it to be back on the road some time in March.  If you want authentic Cajun food, the Louisiana Spice Truck is the real deal.  Jessie even has that distinctive Nawleens accent.

In the off season, Jessie has been keeping busy with Le Petit Temptation, his line of delicious desserts, which are now being sold in Brooklyn at the new Greene-Ville Garden store in Fort Greene.  Below is a picture of the dark Valrhona chocolate and pear ganache.
