Treehaus is Doing An Ode to the Rutgers Grease Trucks
Treehaus, the newish upscale deli on 3rd Ave. btw. 50+51st, has run with the Midtown Lunch sandwich challenge in a way we haven’t seen since Cer Te busted onto the ML scene a few years ago. Two weeks ago it was the buffalo chicken wrap, followed by a Mexican chicken sandwich. But their latest creation is the one we’re most excited about. All this week they’re serving an ode to the Rutgers Grease Truck “Fat Cat”, which means chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks, and french fries all in a hero roll with lettuce, tomato, smoked mozzarella and marinara. It’s not the first Rutgers Grease Truck to be served in Midtown, but the last one was almost three years ago so we’re pretty happy to welcome back this new version with open arms. Early adopters, let us know how it is in the comments.

Fat Bitch.

Fat Cat leads to Fat Ass. That’s not going to stop me from getting one, though.

That’s the fat darryl, no? Fat cat is burgers, fried egg cheese, fries, I think.

Correct sir. Minus the smoked mozz.

It’s more an homage than an “ode,” but in any case I’ll have to check this place out.

awesome been waiting for someone in midtown to do a fat sandwich!
FYI, in case anyone’s feeling nostalgic, here’s a good summary of RU fat sandwiches

I wantz to see a picture of greasy sandwich before visiting.

the sandwich was pretty good, but not close to an actual grease truck sandwich. they put a good amount of chicken and mozz sticks on there but it could’ve used some more fries, and they left off the marinara which made the sandwich a little too dry. It also wasn’t greasy at all.

Forgetting the marinara is a killer.

yeah they def need some sort of sauce. and I was thinking some kind of salty flavor, like maybe american cheese? it’s a good start but needs some work.

call me when someone does this fat dad’s version of the Brunswick Fat Dad (Gyro, cheese steak, french fries, white sauce, hot sauce)…at under $6 it makes it worth the trip down to NB
Not to date myself, but this brings back fond memories from the early 90s…
