Alright, my obsession with this food truck started when the newspaper club went on a
field trip to the Boston Herald. After
we were done with the tour of the Herald our club went to a spot in the middle
of Boston to get something to eat for lunch before we headed back to
school.
There was a really wide variety
of food trucks at this spot in Boston including a pizza truck with a wood fire
burning pizza oven. But that is not why
we are here today. Out of the wide
variety of trucks there was one that caught my eye the most. This truck was the Bon Me food truck.
This truck has a wide range of gourmet Asian
food options. You can have a bon me
sandwich with your choice of filling, a noodle salad, a rice bowl, or a salad. There are also many different minor things you
can add to these major menu options.
The
item I got was a bon me sandwich with miso braised pulled pork filling. If you are unfamiliar with miso it is
fermented soybeans. This is a popular
seasoning in Japanese food. Anyway back
to that bon me sandwich I got; along with my filling every sandwich comes with
pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, their house made
spicy mayo, and a slice of pork pate. If
you are unfamiliar with pate it is the scraps of in this case a pig grinded up
with a lot of fat to make a silky and smooth consistency paste and then it is
put into a pan in the shape of a brick and refrigerated until it is firm enough
to slice up like a cake.
Let me tell you
something though; that sandwich was the best sandwich I have ever tasted. It was a flavor bomb and all of the flavors
worked tremendously together. The spicy
mayo was calmed down by the acid of the pickled carrots and daikon, the
cilantro was a great touch for a lot of extra flavor, the red onion and
cucumber worked really well together, and the filling of the miso braised
pulled pork was the thing that tied everything together.
Now that I have had a proper bon me sandwich
I won’t be going back to regular sandwiches ever again.
