Visiting
the first local food truck assembly, set to benefit the Copley
schools extra curricular programs, we saw an interesting item on the
menu from the Stone Pelican Truck. They had a Hungarian chicken
sausage sandwich (sausage from Al’s Corner)
which I know I would have enjoyed but I already knew that. Instead
we had the hoagie that sounded interesting and added the daily
special and a half order of fries. We would have been better
served trying a different truck. The special for the fund raiser was
a shrimp burger slider. It was better than what attracted us to the
truck in the first place, tiny-not worth the price of admission but
pretty tasty. Nicely toasted little bun, well-flavored shrimpy
patty, a couple of quick pickles and a shot of some orange
something-or-other-sauce. It was pretty good. |

The buffalo chicken meatball hoagie was the initial attraction. Baked chicken meatballs, buf sauce, bleu cheese dressing & crumbles, should be good. The meatballs were not as dry as you would expect but there was something else that didn’t quite sit right on the palate. The sauce had heat but needed some tang. The hoagie roll was nicely toasted and maybe the best part of the sandwich. All together made my brain pace back and forth between “don’t like it”…”it’s okay I guess”… “don’t like it”…”it’s okay I guess”…. I wouldn’t to it again. The fries were limp and whatever the “pelican” seasoning was
supposed to add never materialized. Compared to the others the
pelican truck sank like a, well…you know. |
