Bonjour! Today's review chronicles the fortuitously fabulous discovery that was made while getting lost on the way to the guitar store. Behold, the ultimate movable feast: Le Truc.
Being perhaps mildly pretentious self-proclaimed aficionados of all aliments on wheels in SF, we were surprised to have stumbled upon this never-before seen establishment parked west of the South Park area of SOMA. Initially lured by its long line and too-cool-for-school bus-like digs, we creepily began skulking about the grounds and inspecting the menu. Their delicious comfort food offerings quickly won us over: we decided it was worth returning (but *after* visiting the guitar store, so we wouldn't have to stand in line with the people who had just watched us awkwardly take pictures ourselves next to the menu). Having already excitedly set our tummies' hearts on the delicious, indulgent and previously blogged about American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, this was no easy feat!
Ultimately, a good call. The line was significantly shorter 30 minutes later. We ordered the portabello mushroom sandwich, the panko chicken 2.0, and the kale caesar salad. After some waiting (hey, slow food don't come fast) and much anticipation, we received our food and scurried back to the office.
...within 10 minutes all food was sufficiently scarfed down and supremely enjoyed.
Pros: A menu laden with delicious selection options and copious bleu-cheese inspired puns, also open for breakfast and all Giants games, available bookings for private parties (we can only hope to have an event that needs catering soon), friendly staff that wasn't creeped out by our lurking. Additional pro: Planning to serve dinner nightly around the corner from Caitlyn's house.
Cons: Not immediately around the corner from our office.

AND, they claim to be posting recipes on their website soon! Caitlyn is pretty sure that once they show up in her neighborhood nightly for dinner she'll say goodbye to cooking altogether, but it's nice to have something to fall back on.
Viva Le Truc!
Ron Burgundy gives it one backwards high five (the Thursday afternoon equivalent of three thumbs up)
