When a man leans out of his food truck window and tells you that his chicken salad is "the s***"…read morewhile offering you a sample on a fork, you take it. And when his thoughts on said chicken salad turn out to be true, you order it. The truck was the Scratch truck, and it was parked in the Ridgeway Loop today for lunch. The corporate neighborhood is their regular spot - there's a built in customer base, it's far away from downtown, and it's easy to park and still be following the rules of the city food truck ordinance (50 feet from restaurants downtown, 300 feet away everywhere else). Since Scratch has no commerical kitchen, everything is made fresh daily in the truck. I let the friendly guys in the truck pick my lunch - the aforementioned chicken salad and a huge order of chocolate bread pudding. I started with the bread pudding - it was hot, and I have a really hard time resisting baked goods. The consistency was perfect - it was almost liquid in some places and there were little crunchy caramelized edge pieces. And as I already mentioned, the chicken salad was awesome. I ordered mine in a wrap ($8), and the grilled, seasoned salad came rolled up in a tortilla with romaine lettuce and tomato slices with a small side salad. It was plenty of food for lunch (I saved half of the wrap for later), and reasonably priced. You can keep track of Scratch via Twitter, where they post their locations and menu updates daily.

Bread pudding is my favorite dessert, so when a coworker told me that she'd just eaten the best bread pudding she'd ever tried, I knew I needed to follow up. I was not disappointed...warm, dense, sweet, and very tasty, it was everything I hope for in the dish.

I recently just tried Gourmade for the first time while at Wiseacre for a beer. The couple in the…read moretruck were super kind and quick. I got the lobster mac and cheese sandwich which was phenomenal. It was packed full so much that when you took a bite it would fall out (good thing in my book). The price was super fair in my opinion. I've seen others charge $$$ for anything with seafood/lobster. Fries are decent! I would get them again in a heartbreak if I cross paths with them again

Ok ok ok really quick the Gourmade Burger is off top one of the BEST burgers I have ever had in my…read morelife. I recently judged the Best Memphis Burger competition and sadly to say this burger was NOT in it. I think this burger goes toe toe with the grand champion Elboe burger! After a brief conversation with Jared (owner ) about the event he told me that someone else that judged the competition said that he actually had the best burger in Memphis so I had to see for myself.... This amazing thick juicy double patty burger with Gourmade aioli sauce, white cheddar cheese, a peppered green, butterd pickles and pickled red onion (which I admittedly took off because onions make me gag) sorry if that was tmi. But this burger was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was just outstanding with flavor and the brioche bun that was soft but yet firm enough to hold everything together. If you don't know I have a local food review show called Dine01 and we will definitely be doing a more in depth and behind the scenes. Just YouTube us or type dine01 on any social media. I hope this helps!

Talk about mom n and pop! This was a pleasant stumble expecting ribs, but instead, I was greeted…read morewith Southern hospitality and a menu ranging from creative breakfast burgers to "Sunday Soul Menu" displays. This might change in the future but what I hope they don't change are their burgers. There is girth, flavor, and substance in the patties. You get the overall deluxe fixings like lettuce tomato red onion ketchup mustard mayo BUT you can customize your toppings. Aside from the pretty stellar burger, the side of onion rings wasn't too bad either. Crisp, filling, satisfying. The cole slaw is nothing to write home about but slaw is slaw so it works. Overall, I was more than satisfied. I'm very tempted to go back and try their breakfast menu and hopefully their Sunday soul food. It was a great local food experience and I hope this cafe does extremely well for years to come! Thanks for the burger recommendation.

When I saw him shifting through the boxes, I said I am not the one with a preorder. He continued to sift through the boxes, so I repeated myself thinking that he most likely did not hear me. He got an attitude with me and said, "I am listening to YOU if you want to tell me your order." I get it. It is hot outside and you are busy, but you don't have to be an a**hole about it. You signed up for the job, not me...a smile and a more positive attitude would go along way with your customers. Food was served hot and was correct with what I had ordered. Part of being in the food service industry is being kind to your customers, especially when they are kind to you.

I tried this place again when they were at my work for Field Day. I hoped maybe the past time had…read morebeen just a fluke. But unfortunately not. I am not sure what's up but I just don't like any of the things I've tried here. Nothing tastes bad per se, it just doesn't taste like anything. And I know it's not just that that's how fries taste because I've had some amazing fries at another food truck that visited earlier this year- IDK if I wrote down the food truck name or not but those will haunt me. Whereas these are just... forgettable. Ok: - Fries: Across the Border - Fries: Quesadilla Chicken - Fries: South Philly

if you read my previous review there was one thing missing, Cheese Whiz! I took to Twitter to…read moreright this wrong, and Mark's Grill responded. Cheese Whiz is now on the menu! I've been to Pat's in Philly several times, which is what I consider the real deal, and Mark's is making a solid effort. They ship in the Amoroso rolls from Philly is a big help, bread matters a lot for a sandwich and bread's taste is dependent on the local water. A++ for the effort. The steak is the correct kind and cooked properly. Peppers and/or onions are optional, I complained before that they were a bit al-dente before and the last ones we got were cooked more, so I think they are listening to feedback. Of course, don't forget the Cheese Whiz which to me makes the sandwich. Any hot sandwich can be improved by adding more Cheese Whiz. If man-made cheese-like product is not your thing, provolone is an option. They serve other stuff too, I'm not sure why anyone would care when there are cheese steaks on Amoroso rolls with Cheese Whiz, but to each their own. The hand cut fries are a nice side dish. The gyro sandwich is good, only 4-star good. Haven't tried the hot dog yet. They seem to have regular spots at WKNO in Cordova on Thursdays, and Shelby Farms on Sundays. Otherwise watch twitter to see where they show up next.

I love food trucks. And I love philly cheese steaks!…read more So I finally tried MarksGrille for the first time when they were at the Highland Church in Cordova last week. I was super psyched about trying it, since I've only heard good things. However, I was a little disappointed. While the portion was a GREAT size, lots of meat, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms.... The sandwich was LOADED with salt. I couldn't even eat one half of the sandwich because of how salty it was. I'm guessing it was the seasoning they used... But the same goes for the fries. The fries were so salty that my mouth literally started watering and it was pretty difficult to eat the fries too. I will have to try it again. One more time. Because I believe in second chances! Will be sure to update my review if it's better than last time!

This establishment is actually located at the southwest intersection of U.S. Highway 79 and U.S…read more Highway 70, within the unincorporated area of Shearerville, Arkansas (due south of I-40 Exit 265). They sell fishing tackle, and act as a convenience store and grill for the nearby Jenette, Arkansas community. As a common consequence for the convenience of the existence of rural stores, the prices for their merchandise are rather high. I do like supporting independent retailers, so I try to purchase things from small businesses that I might ordinarily buy from my normal grocery store. I once had them cook-up a cheeseburger for me, but was woefully disappointed that the chef was actively smoking a cigarette while making my food!* This was way too "old school" for me, and made for the disgusting ambiance of polluted indoor air. (* If you dislike cigarette smoking, I would instead recommend going elsewhere: Just over five miles west, on U.S. Highway 70 in Shell Lake, is Lakeside Grocery / Citgo gas station (I-40 Exit 260). There they make pizzas and sandwiches to order, carry liquor, are open later in the evening, sell gasoline/diesel fuel, and don't smoke tobacco inside of their building.)

Its my first time eating fromthis truck but the BBQ Nachos were pretty good...not the best I have ever had but pretty good.

I hope they keep coming back to our building. The food trucks set up at the back of the property in the parking garage at 6000 Poplar Avenue (The Triad complex).
