The city food trucks gets all the trend-hyping press, but Jessup is quickly becoming a place to sample side-of-the-road food.
The Jessup trucks don't move around, but they keep multiplying -- now with Korean bulgogi from a truck on Rte 175 a little east of the prison and the wholesale produce market. The truck sells bulgogi, teriyakis, subs, fried rice, and burgers. It appeared to be Korean-run, so I went bulgogi.
It's a tasty little lunch. It's not a Shin Chon Garden feast, but you get a full platter of meat, rice, salad and pickled vegetables. The meat was nicely charred, but not spicy like you might expect from Korean food. Definitely worth a drive if you're the type to look for something new at lunch. The truck's sign says Jessup Deli, so I assume it is connected to the deli at Rte 175 and U.S. 1.
If you're the type to drive for a little adventure, you should definitely try the run on Rte 175. Start with R&R Taqueria in the Shell station at U.S. 1. Then pass the prison and watch for a weekend barbecue with a Mexican flavor at Mel's Liquor and for the A&W Pit Beef truck at Duvall's Marketplace.Jessup Deli truck

Oooh... terriyaki? How did that look?
ReplyDeleteI went there and tried to for lunch today. It was only the second time i've had Bulgogi and the only thing i have to compare it to was Anna's coffee shop taco version and this was certainly light years beyond that. I thought it was great a lot less saucy then Anne's with less spices but a lot more flavor.
ReplyDelete@David -- I didn't see the terriyaki. I grabbed the bulgogi on my first visit. Did you walk there today?
ReplyDeleteThey're not there anymore! Where did they go???
ReplyDeleteI am wondering the same thing. Where is the food truck?
ReplyDeleteI saw the truck on Sunday afternoon. I drove past at probably 1:30, and it was set up on the side of Rte 175.
ReplyDeleteLate to the Party, but if you drive by the Jessup corner for lunch on a Thursday, you'll be disappointed. The National Business Park off 32 and 295 has a "Farmers Market" on Thursdays, and that's where you'll find the Korean Truck--along with Reuben's Crepes and Tacos, Jumper's Grill, a guy who makes some fantastic kettle corn in lots of flavors, a bakery stand, a cupcake cart (can't remember the name), and a Farmer's stand.
ReplyDeleteThe truck took forever to get us our food, I've been waiting for over a half hour, closer to an hour... Unacceptable
