Thank God for sweet Food Truck owners!
So today was a great day — not because it was Friday — but because the Greek food truck would be parked near Hopkins hospital. I heard my co-workers excitedly looking forward to this day all week and naturally, a Greek-loving gal, I was excited to finally be able to join in food fun at work (being vegan pretty much leaves me with indian day and little else, so yes Greek truck woohoo — that was me).
Ok first things first: no falafel. And yes, I will admit I’m a little slow with ethnic cuisines but I could have swore falafel, though not being Greek in origin, was usually found on the menu somehow. No falafel. No big deal, nothing beats yummy fresh-grilled veggies, rice, warm and wrapped in a pita with — WHAT?! No TAHINI sauce either?!?! What else am I to top my sandwich with!?
Second, be weary of sneaky ingredients that somehow magically find their way into your sandwich but are not listed. So I had to go back to the truck — with my grilled veggie and rice sandwich with my supervisor – who refused to let me let the additive slide while going hungry. Thankfully, the owner apologized and made me another sandwich — without rice this time because he very politely informed me that the rice was cooked in chicken stock.
Even with all the above.. .it was a very, very yummy sandwich.
