One of many mainstays at this weekly occasion is the Gastrotruck, a cell restaurant serving up Midwestern impressed entrees utilizing regionally sourced substances.
My spouse and I had been referred to Gastrotruck by a pal that had praised the turkey wild rice burger a number of weeks earlier. The truck updates their menu based mostly on seasonal objects out there regionally so we had been glad to find that the turkey burger was nonetheless out there.
Entrees on the Gastrotruck run from between $5 and $9 relying on what you order. Sides like kettle chips can be found for a pair bucks additional. I went for the brisket sandwich with a horseradish sauce and greens whereas my spouse ordered the turkey wild rice burger that features kale parmesan pesto and greens. Each sandwiches had been served on lightly-toasted Ciabatta rolls. We additionally ordered a facet of roasted potato and barley salad. Our invoice for the meal was $18.
The spotlight of the meal needed to be the turkey wild wealthy burger. I’m an enormous fan of pesto and this was the precisely the kind of one-of-a-kind sandwich I need when eating at a gourmand meals truck. The roasted potato and barley salad was additionally nice highlighting substances which might be out there regionally and seasonally in Minnesota, together with candy corn, zucchini, and yellow squash. Yum!
