A Clean Bite

It’s that time of the week again, the food truck roulette in Century City.  Today we were graced with the Clean Street Food truck (www.cleanstreetfood.com).   I hadn’t heard anything about them before, so it was nice to have no preconceived ideas about the food.  Their menu is rather simple – entrees that include a protein on top of a matched salad, and you can have it “naked” (just as a salad) or as a sandwich.  They were offering samples of each entrée to give people an idea what was in-store. 

I wound up ordering the marinated steak, sliced parmesan with Caesar salad and chopped tomatoes as a sandwich ($7.75 – not bad for steak!).  They also offered herbed fries as a side, and I couldn’t pass up on those.  To complete my meal, I had a pink grapefruit Izze soda.   My total came to $13, about what I pay when I go out to lunch, and still fairly reasonable.

The sandwich was delightful.  The meat was well seasoned and cooked just right.  And it paired so well with the Caesar salad and parmesan.  It was a definite taste treat.  And it worked so well as a sandwich.  The fries were also very tasty.  When I first took them out the bag, I was a little disappointed and skeptical as they were thick cut fries.  My experience with thick cut is that they tend to be soggy and don’t hold up well.  I was surprised to find that they were quite crispy and didn’t get soggy too fast (though they eventually did – it was going to happen). 

I can recommend them most definitely, and look forward to trying their other entrees in the future.
