Fresher ingredients. The tomatoes was kinda not fresh - like the skin was separating from the flesh. Maybe more veggies, as well. Overall it was good.

There's no sauce listed on salmon burger description. Said they put it on the side but they didn't. Too spicy for me

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.

Everything! I was pleasantly surprised by how well seasoned the turkey patty was and the fries were just right! Nice and hot with the perfect amount of salt. Yes, a Turkey Lettuce Wrap for me please!! I upgraded my order by mistake and the guy was so kind and nice to make me a fresh batch of fries. Thank you! 🤗
