A great food truck with a terrible name.
It's like an epidemic. Great trucks with terrible names. If I could rename Food Box, I'd probably name it FRIES IN MY FACE, because their fries are some of my favorites! Okay, so maybe I should stay out of the Naming Food Trucks game, too, but I DO know my french fries, and they have amazing ones. Thick, crisp, and tossed in "the good" salt ( big flakes you can see ), a glimpse of their fries on a coworker's desk is what got me to try this truck that I would have otherwise passed over.
You can get their fries with a side of chicken sandwich, if you'd like. Super crispy, with pickles that I usually would have cast off but actually really work on their version, the chicken sandwich is a favorite in my office.
If you don't want to stuff your face with things from the deep fryer, they've got a great veggie sandwich with a super flavorful balsamic mayo that I, admittedly, had some concerns about, but ended up adding just the right extra umph to make this meat eater enjoy going meat-free for a meal. It's a little bready for me, so I usually eat half of it, and then just pick the veggies out of the middle of the other half, but don't let that make you think it's not good. It is. Double points for not loading it up with green bell peppers ( like so many veggies sandwiches often are!)
This was a special -- fried green tomato blt ( blfgt? ) with pimento cheese. It was heavy and I wanted to nap afterwards but it was shockingly not greasy. Just goooooooood. If this is an option, get it.
TL;DR:
Some of the best fries I've ever had -- crisp but thick, and they use the "good" salt. Even though I hate the pickles on the fast-food version of a fried chicken sandwich, theirs works marvelously. Chickfil-who?
