The Chef Truck is a gourmet food truck that opened in Branford, Connecticut in February 2020. It…read morewas founded by Chef John Kronfeld and his fiancée Missy Miller. Kronfeld is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America with over 20 years of experience in the restaurant business. Some of the restaurants he worked at over the years include Bobby's Burger Palace at Mohegan Sun Casino and the kitchen at the Omni Hotel in New Haven. Miller dabbles as an amateur cook while working from home as a campus recruiting consultant. The couple's mission is to give customers a gourmet restaurant experience right on the street or from the comfort of their own homes. This past weekend was the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law at Stewards of the Land Brewery in Northford. It just so happens that they booked the Chef Truck to provide the food for the reception. I had previously sampled some of Chef John's delicious food when I attended an exclusive 'Foodie Influencer' event a few months back at the same brewery. I was not disappointed then and I certainly wasn't this time. The first course featured an Autumn Salad (salad greens, sliced apples, gorgonzola, pancetta) and bowls of Pumpkin Bisque. Both dishes really hit the spot. The next course featured Chicken n' Waffles, Mac n' Cheese Fritters, and Cheese-stuffed Squash Blossoms. Everything was perfect! The final course was served buffet style and included the "Mississippi Mac Attack" (slow-cooked pulled pork over Mac n' Cheese with Scallions) and "General Tso's Chickpeas" (crispy chickpeas, tofu & broccoli tossed in sweet & spicy sauce over jasmine rice). Everything was so flavorful. I think that the second course may have been my favorite. Another great culinary experience from Chef John! If you happen to see the Chef Truck parked at your favorite brewery or winery in New Haven County then you won't be disappointed!

I was dying to try their red hots and one of their stuffed burgers. I opted for the French onion burger and it was heavenly. The onions were perfectly cooked and you could taste the essence of a French onion soup. The burger was juicy and nicely cooked. The red hot was EXACTLY what I wanted. It has been so hard to find these and I was beyond delighted to get my hands on one. It was perfectly grilled with a nice snap in every bite. The perfect amount of spicy and I ended up tearing through two with ease. I'm going to try to get to their restaurant in north haven for sure in the future. They are one of the top food trucks in CT hands down.

So all in all I'd like to start by giving them this verbal (ehhh textual) 3.5 stars…read more This being the second time I've tried them out, both times parked over at Two Roads brewing, I've gotta say that this might be the slowest, most poorly stocked truck I've ever eaten out of... The truck seems poorly managed in general but the sandwiches being pumped out, or trickled out, really are pretty darn good. Portion size is well up there with the price point and they taste great. Am I going to chase after them on the highway and stalk out their next location? Heck no, though I probably wouldn't do that for any other truck either... Wait a minute, I think I sorta have, never-mind. This time around after waiting on a line of about 8 people for a 25 minutes and then another ten minutes just waiting for the guy to write my order down, and another 20 minutes to get the damn thing made, I had it, the Reuben Cuban... But no fries, apparently the guy before me got the last bit of potato. No biggie, I get that it's a busy brewery and people gotta eat. Not much else around so the truck really was swamped. As a business I think they could use some no-brainer streamlining, hell get rid of the empanada, it's out of place anyway, or trim the menu, I don't know, but I've never waited an hour for food out of any truck before. Seriously took a large chunk of time out of the day. Otherwise the thing was good, I think it needed a better pastrami flavor as the pulled pork sort of overwhelmed the thing and that officiallay makes up half the sandwiches on the board, with a BBQ pulled pork and a Cuban, made with bacon... Just seems off. Overall a good deal for good food and you should try it because nothing else in the area will be better. I'm just thinking the redundancy makes for a smaller variety... Meanwhile the wait times don't align themselves properly at all.

This is a great spot for the entire family - they have some outdoor fire pits for when the weather is cool and the indoor space has a great vibe - we enjoyed the indoor space on a 100 degree day when no one wanted to be outside.

Hubby tried a new IPA, I stuck with a diet soda. Wish I could have given 4 1/2 stars. Everything was wonderful. A bit expensive, but would definitely return and do it again!

Tall colorful urns displaying seasonal flowers flanking the entry and the hostess's smile is always very welcoming. The ambiance is intimate yet bright , either banquet seating along the windows or in the rear dining room, small bar, white tile and exposed brick pizza oven, with the always classic Italian dinner music setting the tone. Service: is always friendly, very accommodating, get your order right every time, and make sure your dining experience is a pleasure. Cuisine: appetizers- white bean and spinach soup is excellent, Lamb lollipops perfectly grilled, broccoli rabe and sausage is very good, the the ruby, red and golden yellow beet and crispy goat cheese over arugula with an orange vinaigrette is beautifully presented bright and fresh. Dinner: should they have the eggplant stack as a special I highly suggest you order. It's almost hard to explain these golden disks of perfectly cooked creamy fried eggplant stuffed with cheese and then stacked, served on their fresh summer Pomodoro witches outstanding. The linguine alle vongole red is full of tender local clams, Flounder francaise with baby spinach over capellini perfectly done with a very bright lemon butter sauce. The Woodfired brick oven pizza was enjoyable but as Pizza goes, we are die hard New Haven style APIZZA (self-proclaimed Lol) aficionados. Last but certainly not least is the classic standout dish for me, and many loyal local diners, the Chicken Parm à la vodka. No. This is not anything like one you've had before. Crispy, hot, tender, perfect thickness chicken Milanese over el dante rigatoni velvety slightly spicy just creamy enough à la vodka sauce topped but not smothered in cheese. Once you've had it, you'll crave it.
