Grilled cheese sandwiches @ The Fat Shallot

There was a block worth of food trucks but our trekkers gravitated to The Fat Shallot and its Grilled Cheese sandwich (Muenster cheese, sauteed spinach, caramelized onions on sourdough bread; Eric opted for bacon as well).  We couldn't agree on fries - Kathryn chose the truffle fries and Eric the "normal" fries (how normal are they with "house rosemary salt"?).

Sandwich with the wonderful truffle fries.   We have seen this
picture several times but have seen anyone FINISH the fries.

Mediterranean Express opens 2016 season

The trekkers visited a food truck serving halal Lebanese food at Jackson & Adams, a double cab ride to manage a tight time frame.  The truck's claim to fame: Chicago's only all-zabihah halal Middle Eastern food truck.   It was our first food truck outing of 2016.
