clover.

Mmm, egg and eggplant sandwich from the Clover Food Truck, which is normally stationed around MIT and South Station but fortunately made it out to the Harvard Community Garden a few weeks ago for the first ever Harvest Festival! I’ve been fascinated with Clover’s vegetarian/vegan, cheap, local & fresh menu offerings - mostly sandwiches, rosemary fries, soups and drinks - and prominence/involvement in the Boston food truck scene (small but growing) ever since I heard about it last year - am actually interviewing to work at its soon-opening Harvard Square restaurant tomorrow :D It’s actually going to be a bit intense - tour of the truck + 2 hours actually working on it >.> Don’t worry, they said I’d probably only be serving drinks. Wish me luck!

Surprisingly tasty and refreshing basil lemonade was the perfect pairing. I was skeptical at first - I love basil but usually only in savory dishes - but somehow the basil added the perfect light sweetness to the tart lemonade, none of the cloying effect that’s often present.

What exactly is in the sandwich? From the Clover website: Pita, hummus (tahini, lemon juice, garlic, chickpeas, tiny bit of baking soda, salt), eggplant, cucumber tomato salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, salt, lemon juice, spices), hard boiled Chip In Farm egg, tahini (tahini, lemon juice, salt, water)

Yelp reviews also rave about the awesome people who staff the truck, so I’m very excited to meet some of them tomorrow and learn more about the business :) Already dreaming of starting my own food truck…
