The Local Yolk

No more deviled eggs? No gluten free bread? Wah.

Feeling completely distant from the Austin trailer food scene after this dreadful summer, I knew I needed to get back in tune with my inner food truck foodie. Hubby and I went on a five-​trailer tasting one recent Friday night and The Local Yolk was fourth on the trailer crawl.
Go big or go home. Right? So stuffed, but determined to make it through our trailer crawl, we went ALL OUT at The Local Yolk. We ordered the queen. Yes, the queen. A combination of ALL THREE other sandwiches on the menu:
— The Florence: pesto, mozzerella & tomato
— The Athena: hummus, black olives, and feta cheese
— The Phyllis: cream cheese and avacado
And don’t forget, the fried egg! nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom. for real.

This food trailer is cute as can be, old school diner colors and adorned with an adorable little chick.
The sriracha deviled egg topped with a small slice of jalapeño was fantastic. Just enough kick with out making you break out in a sweat (well not anymore than one would normally sweat during the summer in Austin). The lady who was serving them up was really nice and encouraged feedback.
I definitely will be back and try one of those sammiches and perhaps the pesto deviled eggs.

A wise woman (Can’t remember which one) once told me…
«The way to a man’s heart… is through his eggs…»
…I couldn’t agree more.
On a recent Eastside Trailer Park Crawl, I had the pleasure of revisiting The Local Yolk. In fact, I revisited it twice in one night.
My first visit was motivated by the deviled eggs. I went for the trifecta. The plain, the pesto, and the Sriracha. All three were delicious on their own merit, but the pesto and Sriracha were stand outs. The plain was fresh and creamy with a light dusting of madras curry powder. The pesto… rich with the flavor of basil and garlic. The Sriracha was mild in heat but full of flavor, with a sweet spicy finish.
My second visit resulted in an order of the 3 cheese grilled cheese with egg. Mmm mmm good. Great flavor profile. The cheese to bread ratio was a little in favor of the bread, but I thoroughly enjoyed it regardless. The accompanying chips did nothing for me and were not consumed.
Eggs rule… and if you don’t give this trailer a try, the yolk will be on you!
(that made no sense, but I don’t care. I couldn’t figure out how to fit that joke in otherwise)

Went after a busy weekend and they were out of a few items. Tasty and kitschy. Interesting to have egg and humus on a sandwich. Would have preferred to have the eggs cooked to order.

My friend and I split the Tuna Melt egg sandwich and we both agreed that it was bland. It’s like they did not add any salt or pepper. After putting a load of hot sauce, it was pretty tasty; however, I do not think I will be back for another round.
On a positive note, they accept Visa and sell Mexican cokes and Izze sodas. And the chips that can with the sandwich were delicious!

My brother and I split The Tuna Melt (tuna salad, cheddar I think) and The Florence (pesto, tomato, and moz).
Both came with chips and a pickle.
Staff was friendly, laid back.
Went at a good time, no line.
Crunchy/​toasty bread and delicious insides.
Not too salty or too bland.
Are the chips homemade is my question, they tasted like it or maybe just kettle cooked.
They have Mexican coke.
Fair price.

For $ 7 the sandwiches could contain more than 1 fried egg. I feel like I can make a better fried egg sandwich at home.

I AM FAT. I was on a East 6^th trailer tour tonight and I had to make sure I tried the Local Yolk. Luckily they had single serving deviled eggs I could try. I was told the Sriracha was the popular one to try but I AM A REBEL. I went with the basil pesto. Now I am hooked.
I want to try more deviled eggs and I want to conquer the Queen. Until next time.

I’m a egg fanatic and normally eat them at least 3 times a week in any way, shape or form. That’s why I could not wait to try The Local Yolk!
It’s in my favorite food trailer park on East 6^th, just across from El Milagro Tortilleria. I was starving, so I decided to start off with a couple of deviled eggs. They were tasty, but if my grandma’s deviled eggs and their deviled eggs were in a duel, my grandma’s would definitely win– and it would be messy.
I ordered The Phyllis– avocado, cream cheese and a fried egg. It was pretty good and made with organic, local eggs, but for the price, I expected more. The yolk was not runny at all, and the sandwich was very thin and saaaallltttyyy. I could’ve easily made a better sandwich at home. Luckily, their amazing hot sauce assortment made up for their meager helpings.
Although not super impressed with my first time at The Local Yolk, I definitely want to try it again. I hear their egg salad is fantastic!

Long azz wait but well worth it once the egg sandwich showed up at the slot in the trailer. I order the Florence, but ended up with the Queen, which is just as well since I got to taste a little bit of everything. The bread was perfectly toasted, the egg expertly fried, and all of the toppings combined to form a gooey yumminess that made this egg sandwich one of the best I’ve ever had…

When I saw this trailer a while back, I wondered how an egg sandwich place can last. Especially when the eggs are local, meaning roughly $ 4 a dozen. I though I might as well try it, and I was pleasantly surprised. What better than to eat a protein that can satisfy all your amino acid needs, locally AND out of a trailer?
I took a Foodservice course, and I learned a little about procurement, the process of purchasing for a service operation. Eggs do not seem like a very convenient profit item, as good eggs must be fairly fresh. Deviled eggs are sold here, and these perishable items are probably thrown away if not purchased. Is this a sustainable option? We shall see.
The deviled eggs are fresh, tangy, and creamy.
The sandwiches are all pretty simple: just a fried egg between some pressed bread, with a grouping of toppings. It is really just a preference thing on whether you want hummus, mozzarella, or cream cheese as your rich component. But… they do offer «The Queen.» This sandwich literally puts all 3 sandwiches into one. Although it is a bit hard to distinguish between the various ingredients, it is certainly hard-​clogging goodness. It had pesto, mozzarella, olives, hummus, avocado, cream cheese, tomato, and feta. Could I taste anything besides the feta and olives? Not really. Could I feel anything beyond the mozzarella? Not really. Nonetheless, this great hodgepodge of stuff makes for a nice tummy-​filler. And though it is a small sandwich for $ 9 ($ 9 sandwiches
can often be shared), it certainly will fill you up.
The French toast bites is pretty disappointing – simple griddled slivers of toast with some egg batter and powdered sugar.
The Local Yolk offers yet ANOTHER new spin on the concept of sandwiches and trailers, and you should get over there to check it out yourself if you like eggs. I mean eggs are the quintessential protein in life!

I like the Local Yolk, but I’m a sucker for egg sandwiches (especially when they’re made with farm fresh eggs). I’m a little afraid this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, though. The menu consists of eggs, eggs, and more eggs (hence the name…) and then french toast bites and a tuna sandwich. The french toast bites reminded me of elementary school french toast day — if that tells you anything. The deviled eggs are killer. There is a «normal» deviled egg (your standard, go-​to deviled egg) and also a basil deviled egg (which I’m sure will change when basil is no longer in season). Super flavorful, not just mustard and a little paprika. The egg sandwiches are good, but not blow me out of the water fantastic. I’ve tried the Phyllis (cream cheese and avocado) and the Athena (hummus, feta, and olives), and they were tasty, albeit a little small, a week bit flat, and not as filling as I would have liked. I have also tried an egg salad sandwich and it was terrific, although a bit on the mustardy side (which I happen to like) and it sort of fell apart. In all honesty, my main reason for going may just be because her trailer is so freakin’ cute. Nonetheless, I’ll continue to eat at the Local Yolk when I’m down in the area and not craving something greasy or heavy.

Just visited Austin and went to the Local Yolk, what a great treat! The trailer is adorable, service incredible and oh yeah the food was delicious!
Hours are great for late night dining and loved the egg salad. Great chips and pickle too. It is a must see and eat in Austin!

I love this place. Where else can you get a fresh egg salad sandwich at midnight or even 2 friggin a. m!!!
The fine ladies even put chopped jalapenos in the sandwich, and the toast comes out perfect. I was really hungry and ordered the deviled eggs, which come three to an order.
If you’re boozing it up down at the Liberty or coming back from the Thursday Night Social Ride, this is a great place to order food from.
Last but not least, I have an open crush on Desiree.
