With food trucks these days being so popular, you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes you'll see a cool looking truck with a menu that sounds delicious, but get disappointing food. Sometimes you'll see a simple looking truck with a straightforward menu and get amazing food.
Luckily, Blue Collar Diner is the latter. Despite their unassuming, humble name "Blue Collar Diner," their modern and simple truck and logo design, their ingredients and preparation put them on the map. They visited our neighborhood in July and we ordered their Meatloaf Sandwich and Breakfast for Dinner. Their meatloaf sandwich was perfectly cooked, with a nice smokey flavor that complimented the sweet caramelized onions and contrasted with the savory garlic aioli. The texture of the soft bread along with this incredible meatloaf made it a winner. I had two bites of my husband's sandwich and I could hardly stop! Lucky for me, I had my own Breakfast for Dinner plate waiting for me: scrambled eggs, french toast, bacon and potatoes. My french toast was golden brown, with a nice light texture, not soggy - and a light custard flavor that was perfect with the butter and maple syrup. Who could complain about bacon, eggs and potatoes? Our zucchini muffin was topped with a fluffy cream cheese frosting, a nice balance of tart and sweet. The muffin itself had visible green zucchini shreds and was light, moist, with a nice balance of spice and nuttiness. It reminded me of the best zucchini bread, but in a lighter muffin form.
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael and Sarah and they are the friendliest food truck operators ever, all smiles, very hospitable! They even gave us dog treats for my dog, Curly!
