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?
Clover Food Lab has trucks in two locations: Clover MIT, 20 Carleton Street, Cambridge (near Kendall MBTA stop) and Clover Dewey Square, Summer and Atlantic Street, Boston (near South Station).

oh this looks pretty cool. I will have to check it out!!
the breakfast items and the lemonades totally appear to me! i want to check it out.
and by appear - i mean APPEAL. but you knew what i meant :)
I read that NYC is trying to impose 'Food Truck' rules to lesson them from being on corners and such, sucks because sometimes the best food comes from them- not to mention they are mom and pop businesses, that are smart enough to take it on the road, and not sit in a lonely empty strip mall waiting for the eco to come back-
Okay, now I wonder, will the place tonight for open mic understand me when I say 'Rosemary' on my fries :) I think I may have to bring my own sprinkles with!
That sandwich looks fabulous! I hear so much positive chat about Clover Food Truck, I seriously need to go check it out.
I hope you're feeling better :)

I've been to the one at MIT. Those fries are really, really good... you must get them! And I think I had the chickpea sandwich... also good. I wasn't brave enough to try the non-bacon BLT.
I haven't eaten there yet, but I got their brown sugar lemonade one day...super good!!
I have had the chick pea and the basil sandwiches and the carrot salad. All were delicious!! Definitely worth the trip.
We have got to go back soon...so yum. I stole a couple pictures for my post..!
I really liked the article, and the very cool blog
