The cod is DELICIOUS! It’s the only Schnitzel I’ve tried, but cod, tartar sauce and lemon, fries and beets? Heaaaven.

@mkim – so true! i added your comment to the minus section of the +/-

Also, Oleg from the Truck emailed me to say that they’re using the same portion of meat as before, but aren’t pounding as thin as they used to. That’s why there is a discrepancy in the photos. Just an FYI.

Proby: Eggplant??!?!! It’s entirely YOUR fault for not ordering MEAT! Schnitzel fail.

I was very excited to try the schnitz but I had the eggplant and was disappointed. I get the pound-it-thin/cook-it-quick thing, but this was so thin I had difficulty getting my fix of eggplant flavor. Is that usual, of did I hit them on a thin day?

Since this writeup left me completely craving the truck, and I also happen to have a flexible lunch hour & bunch of initiative, I hopped on the subway at Grand Central down two express stops to City Hall and walked over to the truck. I ordered the veal platter with beets/feta salad (the beets were decently firm, Zach) & one of this week’s specials, a chickpea salad in olive oil & pesto (which was excellent). When I mentioned I had come from midtown to go to them they acted like I was crazy (can’t blame them there). Everything was well worth the trip though, and after eating in City Hall park the whole trek only took me an hour and 15 mins.

@6thAveLuncher: Good point, thanks for the correction. Babies are tasty.

Um, per CheeEEse, lamb is baby lamb (grown up it is sheep); veal is baby cow. Both tasty, both babies.

Damn you, Midtown Lunch! Damn you, You-Ennnn!

The Monday spot is right outside my office door and this big wet kiss, er, write-up and photos had me all set to finally try these guys. Now I have to wait until next week!

But my second choice, the Cafe Duke chicken parmigiana flatbread sandwich, is no small consolation. mmmmmmmmmm…

I tried them a couple of weeks ago and thought all of it was really great. The mushroom soup they were giving out free if you mentioned their twitter that day was an excellent surprise-one of the best things they offered.

I had the veal last week, also have had the pork and also the eggplant. Yum. I love the austrian potato salad, it’s fantastic, also the sauerkraut. And I’m in condiment heaven with all of the choices.
