I've been pretty sour on the foot truck trend. Too often what you get is some halfbaked gimmick or a bucket of rice, beans, and a few scraps of meat for $14. They also tend to congregate downtown instead of where I work (Southeast). So today I have to hit the bank to make a deposit in Southwest when I spot the bright green Liberty Chicken & Gyro truck peddling gyros for $7, which is what you'd pay for a supersize combo of carbonated corn syrup, fries, and cow rectums at McDicks. So I figure, what's the worst that can happen? Cholera? It's 11:15 and the counter is still closed so I asked when the dude's open and he goes ahead and throws the serving window up and takes my order. Take THAT, jerks who don't open for lunch before noon. They've got huge pictures of what the food looks like on the side of the truck, so that your blind Aunt Eloise can see what weird foreign food like a "kebab" looks like and your illiterate friends can just point and grunt their order. Inside, the place is cleaner than a hospital. These guys serve halal and they take their clean seriously. They've got chicken chappli kebabs and gyro platters and chickpeas and falafel and what looks like chicken tikka which you can get either in a pita or on a platter with rice and salad. I opt for the combo chicken/gyro. They grill the stuff up and ask if I want some of this bright red sauce on it. I say, what the hell, you can't get to heaven if you don't die, so go ape$h!t. SO glad I did; it's a mildly spicy red pepper sauce that goes perfect with the creamy yogurty sauce and the cool lettuce and tomato. The gyro meat is in chunks like a kebab, not in the usual strips, so it cooks at the same rate as the chicken. Good, clean, reasonably priced food served by a nice couple. One of the better food truck experiences I've had in DC. Worth searching out. I just wish they had a twitter feed to follow. read more
