Where Ingredients matter

(The Lucky Old Souls Food Truck )

On a recent trip to Love Park to check out some food trucks, I got to try food from Lucky Old Souls.  The first thing that attracted me to their truck is that they list on the menu where they get all their ingredients from. You can tell where they get their ice cream from, where they get their vegetables from, and where they get their burger buns from. This really struck me as awesomeness and where menus are going. Their menu lists how you can build on your own burger or you could go for the LOS Burger. They use Lancaster County Grass Fed Beef for their burger and they have a veggie burger for vegans. They offer different cheeses, sauces, and veggies. The one thing I love about the veggie part is for tomato and in parenthesis it says “if in season” which is funny because tomatoes are always on everything year round but most people don’t know they have a short season.  I opt to get the LOS Burger. The LOS Burger is the Lancaster County Grass Fed Beef, with house-made bacon, smoked cheddar pickled tomatoes, sautéed onions, and the LOS Sauce.  All the burgers are served on Wild Flour Bakery Challah Burger Buns which are awesome and have so much flavor. When they are served on them, they soak up their sauces and fat from the burger which makes the burger great. It has that perfect balance. This is one of the best burgers to date I have ever had. I also got the hand cut French fries and Salty Caramel Milkshake. The French fries were so crispy for being hand-cut . That is very rare to find. Their milkshakes are to die for. The Salty Caramel Milkshake combines the perfect balance to salty and sweet. I fell in love with Lucky Old Souls that day. They have the best burgers to date.
