When looking to escape
your office for those precious 60 minutes of free time to enjoy lunch, your
routine of a chopped salad or whole wheat sandwich can get pretty darn boring.
If your office is in Midtown, you may just be lucky enough to come across a few
rotating food trucks each day to mix up your lunch routine.
Mac Truck is the
newest foodie haven on wheels to drive into the food truck scene in New York
City, having parked for the first time this week in a few spots around Midtown.
After spending the summer serving hungry onlookers at the racetrack in Saratoga,
Mac Truck made its way to the city to feed the perfect fall season comfort food
to the starving masses of office workers in Manhattan.
Mac Truck offers a
basic Mac and Cheese for only $6, featuring piping hot, creamy cheeses. This
mac may be standard, but it is not boring. The truck offers sauces to spice
things up - free of charge - such as Frank’s Red Hot and Sriracha, among other
condiments that you can get mixed in or packaged to go in a tiny cup to blend
in when back at your desk.
Each day there will be
a special mac offered for $1 or so more. Yesterday, Buffalo Chicken Mac was the
featured dish. This macaroni cup was stuffed with crumbled thigh meat, boasting
creamy cheeses blended with hot sauce then topped with crumbed blue cheese
within seconds after you placed your order. The buffalo sauce wasn’t too spicy,
so those who don’t like it hot have no fear – the hot sauce does not mask the
delicious flavors of the cheese. For those who want it spicier, you can always
add extra hot sauce, as it’s available in the truck’s window to pour right on
your cup of mac.
To make it a not so
well balanced meal (but a delicious one) for only $8 you can get an order of mac
and cheese, a drink and chips. For another dollar you can make the special mac
of the day a meal deal as well. For a full lunch under $10, this is a cheap
eats steal!
Mac Truck has arrived
just in time to satisfy your comfort food cravings this fall in New York City.
Follow them on Twitter and Facebook to find out where they’ll be parked daily,
plus info on their rotating special mac and cheese of the day.
Welcome to NYC,
Mac Truck! xo
Next time we visit we have to go.
