What the Truck serves great to-go food for the spontaneous eater; however, finding just where exactly the truck is going to be stationed is a bit like searching for a leprechaun. You never know if you’re going to find one or just where it’ll be hiding out. Still, checking its website or Facebook fan page for times and locations eases the search.

Owned by the Winchester, I found What the Truck on a sunny Saturday morning, parked just outside the Fulton Street Farmer’s Market. Bright fold-up chairs line the sidewalk, Spanish music pulses from the speakers, and a chalk sign lets the eater know just what is on special.

This isn’t your reconstituted egg biscuit sort of fast food. This is fast food for the gourmet-inclined, with rustic Corn Griddle Cakes topped with black beans and an avacado coulis ($6), Breakfast Taco stuffed with fluffy eggs, spicy chorizo and salsa verde ($3) or the star of the morning, a decadent Braised Beef Hash ($6).

I ordered the Corn Cakes and Breakfast Taco. Both were tasty, but the Corn Griddle Cakes wiggled its way into my heart, and onto my waistline. Two thin medallions of whole kernel corn mixed in with flour and cornmeal form the cakes — it’s topped with black beans that still have a little crunch to them. I liked the acidity of the coulis, and though the center of my corncake was a little gummy, I’m okay with that.

You’d expect there’d be a lot of spice to these two dishes, but they’re more flavorful than hot-spicy. Perfect brain food for a Sunday morning. (Possibly good post-hangover food too. Just saying.)

My fiancé had the the Braised Beef Hash. I kept stealing it from him — it features a medley of tastes and textures including soft (yet crispy) potatoes, tender beef with that wonderful beefy-ness and caramelized onions and peppers, all topped with a fried egg that when you slice into it flows with a creamy golden ribbon over the dish. The dish is rich, salty, crisp, tender and chewy all at once.

Fair warning — since the dish is made fresh to order, it’s super hot. Take advantage of sitting in a chair. Your lap can hold the dish and keep your hands from burning. Expect to wait about five minutes for your food.

This is how breakfast should be. Out in the sunshine, on the side of a street, hanging out with your friends and family. It’s spontaneous eating at its best, but warrants the research on just where and when you can find the truck. It doesn’t change the fun of the search any — it just makes finding that pot of gold (or in this case a Breakfast Burrito) a little bit easier.
