Fiorini's Dessert

A few weeks ago, while up in Harlem we realized Dinosaur Bar-B-Que was only a few blocks away. So our stomachs made our way for some Que. Normally, there is a 2 hour wait but we were seated immediately. We got some ribs, corn bread, beans and slaw. Everything looked appetizing but it was served cold. I suspect our waitress took a smoke break and forgot about food. Food and service was absolutely disappointing.
When I heard The Schnitzel & Things truck was making their way to Wall Street. I was ready for some schnitzel. I ordered a pork schnitzel platter with braised sauerkraut and a roasted beets & feta salad. Plus an apple spritzer, of course. The Apple Spritzer was served luke warm. A big no-no. They might want to invest in an cooler. The schnitzel was okay and did manage to break a plastic fork in the process. It would have been nice to have a slightly larger portion of sauerkraut. At the moment, I'm a bit disappointed in my experience with the Schnitzel & Things truck. I might give them another go, but next time I'm getting the sandwich.
After being tipped off that there was Banh Mi Street cart in the Financial District. I went in search for this cart. I stumbled upon it on the corner of Pearl and Hanover street. It was $6 for a the Banh Mi.
I was pretty excited about this new discovery and couldn't wait to try it out. The sandwich was okay. I felt like it was missing the pate. And I found the sandwich an overall disappointment. If I want a Banh Mi sandwich, I will have to head over to Paris Sandwich in Chinatown.
After reading the Chowhound review of the La Cense Burger Truck, I was a bit leery about checking them out. But I was quickly convinced after catching whiff of grass fed Montana beef. After about a 15 minute wait, I had in my possesion a 6oz burger with cheese and grilled onions.
