Tried a couple of different trucks last week: JoJo's BBQ, Vasili's (Greek) & Jelly Modern Doughnut.
JoJo's was a bit disappointing - ate with 3 friends so we all shared and had a good sampling of what they had to offer. We all agreed that the pulled pork was dry & needed more sauce as did the ribs (which weren't fall off the bone tender so not done right according to all the BBQ shows on TV...). The brisket was juicy but needed sauce as well. We also tried JoJo's BBQ-tine and I was not impressed....fries were kind of cold and soggy while the bacon gravy was bland. Overall, we all thought the value was there as the pulled pork & brisket sammies were quite large and the ribs were a fairly decent price (altho the poutine was quite small for what you got). Perhaps my expectations were too high but it wasn't something I'd go out of my way for again.
Vasili's tho was far from disappointing! Probably my fave food truck so far and I'll happily stroll to find them if they are anywhere near me in the future. I tried their Twisted Pig pita & it was delicious. The pork was well cooked and nicely seasoned - very juicy and tender. The pita was a wonderfully light Greek pita filled with lots of feta, shaved cucumber, tomatoes & tzatziki sauce. The portion was a good size for me (altho I imagine some guys might find themselves still slightly hungry at the end).
Jelly Modern Doughnut was just ok - they had a couple of their store faves in the truck and while my lemon doughnut was good, it wasn't up to their usual standard that day, imho.
