Obession: GotChef Food Truck

So there's this big yellow truck that's been parked at the Milford train station for a few months. It's the GotChef food truck, and the moment I knew it existed, I began (obsessively) perusing the daily menus that are posted online. I didn't actually try anything until the day after my neighbor casually mentioned "the food man in the truck" and ended up presenting me with a 20-minute monologue on merits of this place. When I stopped by after work the next day, there were so many wonderful things on the menu that I couldn't limit myself to just one dish. Since my husband was traveling for business, and I was on my own for dinner all week, I decided to buy meals for the next few days. Here's what I got for $28 and change: Lamb ossobuco with diced vegetables and creamy polenta, homemade mozzarella and porcini ravioli with brown butter and sage, escarole and bean soup, and 4 slices of fresh bread. Super duper reasonable prices for food of this quality, and I love that the chef uses local, organic ingredients. I'm afraid I will end up writing a novel if I review each dish separately, so I will refrain from describing every delightful element of these dishes. Suffice it to say this is really really good food. Much more than you would expect from a food truck. Since my first visit, I have been back 3 times. I think that speaks for itself.  So all of you who live anywhere near Milford, do yourself a favor and stop by this truck!!! And if you don't live near Milford, it is worth a trip!
