Chop Shop Food Truck — Restaurant in Asheville

If you just want a tasty and quick burger or hot dog, the Chop Shop Food Truck -- associated with the Chop Shop Butchery on Charlotte Street -- is a good choice. The food truck is parked sort of at the back of the Wedge Brewing and near 12 Bones on Foundy Street in the River Arts District.

The Classic Cheeseburger is probably the way to go here (a single, big enough for most appetites, is $8). It's a nice portion of custom ground Apple Brandy beef with American cheese, lettuce, onions, pickles and tomato (though when we were there they were out of tomatoes) on a toasted brioche bun. A large order of waffle fries is $5. They also serve a few versions of hot dogs, a falalfel sandwich -- not our favorite item on the menu -- and a few other things.

I had the Falafel sandwich. Out of dozens upon dozens of food trucks and street food venders across several continents, this landed in my Top 3 ever. The combination of texture might be my no.1.

Me and my cousin tried this food truck while on vacation. He ordered a burger and would give it a 3.5 out of 5. I ordered a salad and was highly disappointed. It was a head of lettuce cut in half with gyro sauce on it. It wasn't even cut. The knives they have there are plastic, so I struggled to cut it. The salad, once cut, was drenched in sauce, making it almost impossible to eat. I gave the food truck this feedback. The person taking orders gave me a very rude look and told me that next time, I get a salad to ask for it to be cut. The fact that I had to cut my own salad is highly unexceptable. The guy in the food truck was rude and did not take my feedback well. If you go to this food truck, do not ask...
