The folks working at this awesome truck are super friendly (and responded to my tweeted question regarding whether or not they take credit cards-they do-in the time it took me to drive from my house to their location), and the food is super tasty.
I opened my lamb burger as soon as I sat down at work and it smelled and tasted amazing. I had never had ground lamb before in anything but a gyro, and now I can't wait to experiment with it at home! So, so good. I shared about a third of it with my friend and found myself wishing I hadn't!! Of course, I was completely full by the time I finished the burger and accompanying chips, so the mac and cheese was put into the fridge for the following day.

The next day for lunch I warmed the mac and cheese up in the microwave at work and brought it back to my desk, eager to enjoy the item I'd heard the most good things about from this gourmet food truck. I will be honest; I am a bit of a macaroni and cheese purist. I like noodles, cheese (preferably a variety), seasoning, and some sort of crispy topping. I am not much of a fan of veggies or meat mixed in; at that point, I feel like it has become a casserole, not macaroni and cheese. That being said, the cheesy flavors and topping on the macaroni and cheese from The Crooked Spoon were great, even after being reheated in the microwave. I was not a huge fan of the peppers and bacon scattered throughout but again, that is more due to my feelings about macaroni and cheese in general and not that the flavors were bad. They weren't, far from it.
Would I go to The Crooked Spoon food truck again? You bet. Over, and over. I only wish the lamb burger was part of their regular menu. However, since it isn't, I'll have the opportunity to try the other items this truck has to offer.
yum, this made me drool! I love lamb burgers and this one sounds awesome. I agree with you in mac and cheese puredom, cheesy crispy topping and done! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, agree with the mac and cheese (although a good seafood mac'n'cheese almost always hits the spot!)...who would have throught that these food trucks would be the place to get really good food?!?
ReplyDeletenow i have a craving for a lamb burger! Thanks! ;p
I'm glad you had a good experience with your Crooked Spoon burger! Honestly, everything I've had from The Crook Spoon is delish. I hope they have the lamb burger available again later so I can give it a go.
ReplyDeletesounds great wish we had some good food trucks here in winston salem
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your blog from The Crooked Spoon's Twitter feed. I see they're in the same spot today. Might have to stop by after work!
ReplyDeleteMarnely,
ReplyDeleteI am waiting and waiting for them to bring that specialty burger back! It was so amazing, it is making me want to try every lamb dish everywhere I go now. So good. For me to like a burger better than mac and cheese? Pure insanity.
Shark-chelle-attack,
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never tried seafood mac and cheese...I've never had an opportunity! I think I need to change that. That rule about seafood and cheese not belonging in the same dish? So not true to me, especially when it comes to shellfish.
Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI am jealous that you get to live in Winston Salem, food trucks or not! :)
Sushiandsitups,
ReplyDeleteDid you ever make it over to the Crooked Spoon truck? If so, what did you think?
