«Give Cheeze a Chance» is the battle cry of the Monster Mouse, a food truck dedicated to cheese-based and cheese-supportive lunch creations. The truck, based in an unlikely nook along Wallingford’s auto-oriented Route 5, serves up hot classics and some new treats, all along the theme of its feature ingredient. The Mouse’s primary offerings include: –Specialty grilled cheese, including a variety of breads, cheese, and stuffins –Tempura Fried Cheesecake –Cheezy fries with bacon bits and jalapenos –Fried Pickles with ranch dressing –Tomato Soup The grilled cheese comes in two varieties: the basic make-your-own classic(choose yer bread, choose yer cheese, plus optional add-ins such as bacon, turkey, and caramelized onion), and a handful of specialty creations like the«Mambo Italiano» with mozzarella and fontina, roasted tomato-basil pesto, kalamata olive tapenade, and spring mix, or the«High Roller’s Club» with sharp cheddar and havarti, smoked turkey, bacon, beer mustard, and spring mix. For between $ 5.50(classic grilled cheese) and $ 8.75(specialty sandwiches), you’ll get a «Monster» sized sandwich. I got a make-your-own with whole wheat bread, swiss cheese, and turkey, plus a side of plain fries. The sandwich was proper. The bread was toasted very crispy, while the inside of the bread remained pillow soft. The cheese and turkey were ample — no short shrift on the fillings. The turkey in particular was really good. No frills, just good construction. The fries were good too, with a really crispy exterior and soft inside, though could have done with a bit more zing in the flavor department. I bet they’d take well to a variety of seasonings(caaaajun…). In the end, I took half of my sandwich and it became dinner — these are big portions! The owners are real peaches. We had a long friendly conversation about the state of food truckery, life on the east coast and business in the cheese industry. As I waited for my sandwich, one of the owners handed me a cheese slice and told me that«we still charge you for the hole in the cheese, so here’s an extra slice to make up for it». If ever there was a food truck with soul, it’s here. It’s kind of bizarre that this little gem is parked in a stark parking lot in the middle of auto-oriented north Wallingford, sandwiched between a fireplace store(!) and an Avis Rent-a-Car. Who’d have thought? As it turns out, you can’t judge a book by its cover. It’s a shame that this beauty is in Wallingford and not in Boston, where it could compete handily in the burgeoning grilled cheese food truck market(did I just write that?).
