Yumtown, USA, Philadelphia


















Being a proud carnivore, I don't always go vegetarian. But when I do, I go to Yumtown, USA, the best new food truck in Philadelphia. The vegetarian Edgar Allen Potato is utterly unique yet classically hearty. Tender sauteed sweet potatoes are graced with tempeh, cheddar, (black bean) hummus, assorted greens, onions, and sriracha in an artisan roll culminating in an unfamiliar and exciting culinary experience.

Edgar Allen would reign supreme if it weren't for The Joy, another Yumtown option and one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I can recall. The Joy produces nothing short of its namesake. The sweet and juicy pulled pork literally makes me salivate. Not to mention the buttery garlic aoili that seeps into the bed of crunchy red cabbage and artisan loaf. Sliced jalapenos top off the glorious sandwich. Grab a Mexican Coke while you're at it.

Intense flavors and surprising combinations place these two sandwiches on the top shelf. Their menu does rotate seasonally as these guys buy local and bring constant freshness. True sandwich artistry at Yumtown, USA. You can find them at 13th and Norris Streets (on Temple University campus) in Philly during weekday afternoons, Clark Park out West on Saturdays, and they cater!
