Truck Yard- Rated 4.7 Stars TXmb

Goodness on a lightly crisp role. Cover it in grilled onions, jalapenos, and a few slices of provolone. And if you really want to feel weak in the knees top that bad boy off with the wiz of cheese. You have the option of making this, a Portobello mushroom or chicken sandwich. But all the foodies and all the greats know that none of those versions are as magnificent as the cheesesteak.

(TXMB Cheesesteak Proverb)

Last year my cousin and I took a road trip to NYC. Soon as we hit Philadelphia I began to salivate.  I assumed it didn’t matter where we rested our bones, amazing cheesesteaks were happening all over. We settled inside a friendly eatery and ordered two cheesesteaks. Excitement coursed through me as I prepared my palate for the charm of cheesesteak. It came out. A sad dry pile of seasonless beef on bread with an underwhelming cheese and grilled onion factor. Every bite was a mouthful of deception. The biggest let down ever.  An hour later, we had to boot scoot and boogie out of The City of Brotherly Love, never knowing what might have been.

Somehow the cheesesteak Gods took pity on me. Shortly after that deception (Don’t remember the name of the place…on purpose) I discovered the tastiness of Truck Yard. The concept of this place is genius really. Inside there’s a bar where Gin and Juice flows through a tap and wells are under 4 bucks daily. Through that little door, the kitchen door towards the back of this place is where all the magic happens. Butcher knives and thin steak dance quickly to the delicious aroma.  Chicken and Portobello mushroom options are available too. All of it mixed and mastered, then topped off just the way your belly desires. My preference is a provolone bottom, steak mixed everything including spicy jalapenos then a cheese wiz ending. Go big, or go home people. The cheesesteaks are served with a bag of chips and a pickle. That’s all. And that’s perfect. If you really want to get crazy, grab one of their dressings. Peppercorn ranch is a sort of creamy magical danger.  It’s an extra cost, doesn’t actually need it, it’s wrong but…obligation.

You should know there’s a bar outside too, along with food trucks that change daily. Truck Yard is all about offering up the options. I really dig that about this place. Even with all its choosy glory I’m stuck on steak. Maybe one day, I will make it back to Philly and truly find that “one.” Until then my cheesesteak alliance belongs to the Truck Yard. TXmb

That whole parking thing- Here’s the thing, parking is actually plentiful at Truck Yard. But they share the lot with Trader Joe’s next door. Also, they’ve started this whole valet thing, which is kind of…yeah. Because, why do you need to valet to get cheesesteaks or groceries?  You got me.
