What do you get when you cross a goat and an avocado?
You get a goat.
You get a goat.
The
goat would most definitely eat the avocado in this scenario.
What
do you get when you want a vegetarian lunch, made with local ingredients and
prepared with pizzazz from a food truck on the VCU campus?
Why
I am not writing for Letterman with jokes like this is a mystery to me.
I
was feeling very lucky when my coworker called in a very tasty hookup and had
vegetarian sandwiches delivered to our office on a cold and rainy day this
week. These were no ordinary veggie lunches and this place does not deliver. That
is why it is called a hook up.
What
we got were vegetable masterpieces on crusty baguettes that delighted even my
most carnivorous coworker.
I swapped halves so that I could try two sandwiches and mooched a bite of soup, too, because with a menu like this, you just have to try everything! My absolute favorite was the Haberdash. There were so many flavors layered on, that it could have been a disaster, but instead was so good that it turned the lunch from a meal into actual entertainment.
A
close second favorite was the Mountain Tropp that again pairs things that you
would never think could go together, like black beans and apples. The guy
making these things is definitely the good kind of crazy (and not bad to look
at either. Note for my single girls.)
Goatocado
started as a festival food truck, but has claimed a pretty permanent spot on
the VCU campus on the corner of Floyd and Linden. The rumor is that the owner,
Ian, is considering planting roots here in the city. And by roots I mean,
opening a brick and mortar location. As far as I’m concerned, if it is served
in on a patio, in a dining room, on wheels, or on cinder blocks, you should
find a way to get some.
“I
didn’t even miss the meat.”
“I
have no clue what I just ate, but it was good!”
“How
the hell did he figure out that all these things go together?
You are so lucky to have food trucks! I've been hearing about them from a friend in Cali and she says the food is de-lish!
