Caseus is a cheese shop and restaurant here in town that decided diversity was key and opened their own food truck. A grilled cheese and tomato soup truck. Couldn't get any better than that and A and I desperately wanted to go! But every time we tried, it rained. Seriously, every time. And nothing says "Cranky KMSull" more than trekking in the rain. Yesterday, however, it didn't rain, and A didn't have class since it's “reading week”- a.k.a. “we get to do fun stuff during the day and A reads a 500 page book and writes a paper on it at night” week! We went hiking today, more on that tomorrow. They post on twitter where they are for the day; it's usually very close or on Yale's campus. I recommend following them just to read the daily specials.
Pictures are from a point and shoot, for the record. Not the prettiest.
We found it!
The menu:
A got plain grilled cheese...
...And tomato soup.
Charming handmade signs:
My guacamole/bacon/cheese masterpiece:
They have a different special every day:
So how was it?
Seriously, though. It was delicious. The bread was sourdough (which I've been trying to make myself), crispy, buttery, not greasy. The tomato soup was made with real tomatoes, tangy, a little spicy, and just felt good to eat. For a food truck? 5/5! It's great comfort food and while not as elaborate as some of the ethnic trucks around (Thai, Malaysian), it's fantastic autumn food that I will definintely seek out again. When I'm in that part of downtown to go to library, cause I avoid that area as much as possible.

That sandwich looks like pure magic.
That looks awesome! I know trekking in the rain is no fun, but that might be a great reason for it! What's better on a rainy day than tomato soup & gr. cheese?? :)
OMG that looks heavenly! I need to see if we have a grilled cheese truck around here, Hubs would be all over it!
