The Crooked Spoon, 50

I had dinner to go 2 at this gourmet food truck in a gas station where the old hot dog stand used to be on 50 near Mills. I had a Crooked Spoon Burger for $8. It was large. It was perfectly cooked. They even asked what temperature I wanted it! It was juicy. I'm pretty sure they hand ground the beef. It came on a sweet roll (fresh) that was grill warmed. It came with swiss cheese, field greens, a tomato slice (that may have been marinated or absorbed the dressing from the salad), and a wonderful onion chutney/relish that was sweet (caramelized in balsamic?) and spicy. They also included wonderful, fresh potato chips. They had to be home made. Non-oily, barely salted, thick and golden brown. They have about 8 items and a special (it was pulled chicken sliders). It's a two person crew. Very nice. The prices may be a bit high for a take away place, but, it is gourmet (the care and ingredients warrant it) and hopefully people are into the whole food truck craze and have lost their prejudices. I would encourage you to visit. It was a burger that can compete with The Ravenous Pig's.
