Wheels Burger at Café de Wheels (from Citybeat May 2010)
Bob Schwartz

I always say life is all about the story, so how about one of the best things I’ve eaten along with a story?

It was a cold January day, a day off. What to do for lunch? Something that’s not open in the evenings for sure, Cafe de Wheels (www.cafedewheels.com)? Yes, the new food truck running around Cincinnati that everyone had been talking about.

It was cold, I mean real cold out, but Erin Marie and I walked up and ordered our food, a couple burgers and sweet potato fries. About 10 minutes later, food appeared out of the side of the truck like manna from heaven, and we dug in.

The burger was made just as they should be, packed together just enough to keep it from falling apart while cooked, a Niagara Falls of flavor just explodes in your mouth. As I contemplated the taste and texture, I looked around and took in Central Parkway and its surrounding buildings.

Then, just like that we were done, cold, shivering and content, we walked back home.
