Clover Food Truck in Dewey Square

Despite feeling under the weather yesterday, I headed over to Dewey Square with my friend Alicia to finally check out the Clover Food Truck.  We had both heard such wonderful things about it and wanted to try out their lunch menu.  Dewey Square, which is near South Station, was bustling when we arrived with a farmers market and a local children's rock band playing. 

Alicia and I patiently waited in line and we knew that the food had to be good for people to wait in the sweltering summer heat!

As we got closer, we read the menu and with some advice from Ayr, one of the wonderful masterminds behind the Clover Food Lab, Alicia and I both settled on the soy BLT sandwich.  When Ayr said that Mayor Menino enjoyed his first soy BLT so much (after much skepticism) that he came back for another one the next day, I knew that was the sandwich for me.

We gave our order to Enzo and waited patiently for our sandwiches as they were prepared made to order.

And the sandwiches were worth the wait! The bread was soft and chewy and held delicious ripe slices of tomato, crisp lettuce, and soy tempeh "bacon", along with a creamy vegetarian mayo. 

Clover Food Truck is obviously a big hit with vegetarians and vegans alike (they can make most orders vegan friendly) but as a meat eater, I was also duly impressed.  The sandwich was really filling and hit the spot.

Despite my poor red nose from all of my sniffles, I was glad that I made the trek to Dewey Square.  Alicia and I already were scoping out other items we'd like to try, including their surf and turf salad and the rosemary fries!

Have you checked out Clover Food Truck? If so, what do you recommend we try next?
