Overly excited by Boston’s compliance with the latest nationwide food truck craze, Ev, Kate and I headed to the SoWa market off Harrison Ave. Among the food trucks were Bon Me featuring Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches, Silk Road BBQ, Roxy’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese and the Clover truck (usually parked by South Station). Lazily snacking on Grillo’s famous pickles (try the spicy!), we struggled to decide on a truck when a woman walked by with the most attractive looking stuffed pita. Eagerly, we asked her what she was eating, and she pointed in the direction of the Clover truck. The chickpea fritter sandwich was as delicious as it looked. Crispy chickpea fritters (which you could call falafels) were gently coaxed by smooth hummus, confidently topped with fresh pickles, tomatoes and lettuce. The crown of the pita is stuffed with bright purple cabbage, carrots and a drizzle of tahini sauce. Together, the ingredients create a vibrant, lively meal that almost looks too artistic to eat. During our intimate engagement with our sandwiches, several food enthusiasts stopped by to ask us what we were eating...it actually looks (and tastes) THAT good.
