Well, Tropical Storm Debby almost put a damper on our monthly ritual of visiting the Windermere Food Truck rally, but the powers that be rescheduled the event instead of canceling it! Hooray!
As I had a birthday party to attend, I didn't try too much; however, I had to try something from the truck that I share a name with! Melissa's Chicken and Waffles!

Deciding on a menu item was difficult, especially with a S'Mores Waffle on the menu (Nutella and Marshmallow Fluff!) As this was dinner time though, I opted to go for the classic Chicken and Waffles. The chicken was juicy and seasoned well, and the waffle was pretty stereotypical waffle. My biggest complaint is that the plasticware was not strong enough to cut through the waffle!
The first time I learned about Food Trucks was on one of the Food Network competition shows. I don't remember too much, but I remember that two trucks were battling to see who had the best Bahn Mi. I had no idea what a Bahn Mi was at the time, but I sure was intrigued! Well, June 29th, 2012 is a date for the books, because I finally got to try one, and it was well worth the wait!

I was a little worried when I saw that the order taker was a child. Granted, it is Summer Break, and lots of kids try to earn an extra buck or two, especially when your family owns a business, but it did make me raise an eyebrow. My worry was eased, as this girl was so courteous, polite, and welcoming, I truly considered ordering more just so that I could talk to her longer, weird, right?
Anyway, back to the food. I had an option of chicken, pork, or tofu, and I'd like to try them all, but I started with chicken.

When I later described the sandwich to my brother (a food truck expert in Miami) and my mom (a lover of Vietnamese cuisine), they seemed to think that it wasn't TOO traditional, but having nothing to compare it to, I thought this was AWESOME. For a hot summer day in Central Florida, this was SO refreshing. The chicken was warm, but the cold veggies were so crisp and cool, this was truly a treat.
