Today I finally got to try the Cheese Truck from Caseus. I was at the Wooster Square Greenmarket, on a mission to bring back three quarts of chocolate milk for friends too busy to go themselves. So maybe 10:30 was a little early for lunch; whatever. The point is, this stuff's good. Sausage of the day ($5) was kockwurst, and the sandwich special was a grass-fed patty melt, but I decided to go for the classic. (According to the website: "a blend of provalone, swiss, comte, gruyere, gouda, and sharp cheddar on sourdough bread," though the online menu also says they have sandwich add-ons and salads, none of which were in evidence today - so that may be more of an approximation.) The sandwich itself was made to order, crunchy and gooey and not too greasy. Solid if not terribly exciting, in need of some acid to cut the fat. (Cornichons and grainy mustard are available for those of you who like such things, which I emphatically don't.) Dipped in the tomato soup, however, the sandwich went from good to outstanding. I think Judies may still have the edge in the best-tomato-soup-in-New-Haven competition, but the Cheese Truck comes in a close second. Overall, a satisfying lunch, and a well-spent $7.
