Meet Your Maker: Bon Me Blue Truck - A Little Bit About a Lot of Things A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

May 15, 2014 Meet Your Maker: Bon Me Blue Truck

This is the second part to the “Meet Your Maker” series. See my first post about the Bon Me orange truck here.

Last Saturday, I tracked down the Bon Me truck in Harvard Square. They sit outside of the science center – you have to walk through Harvard yard to get there.

They have a great area with tables and chairs right next to where the food trucks park.

…and some more unconventional seating.

There are three picnic style tables with some cover to keep you cool on a hot day. So it was the ladies on Saturday, holding down the truck!

Meet Manager Phi Lang!

Thee fun facts about Phi:

She hasn’t gone a day without eating Bon Me since she started almost a year ago!
Her adopted sister Megan is also a trucker for Bon Me.
Her current crush is Bob Belcher. Her current hero is Tina Belcher.

When I asked what she would be doing if she wasn’t working on the Bon Me truck, she said she would be back in school, but elementary school, like Billy Madison.

Phi said that her favorite part about working on the truck is getting to know the customers. Prepping the same food every day is only fun because she knows people look forward to it!

Phi’s favorite menu item is the miso pork sandwich with jalapenos…washed down with a chocolate rice pudding! Or maybe the tea egg? Or the spicy ginger lemonade?

Meet Isabella Tassinari! She has been on the truck for a little over 2 months.

Thee fun things about Isabella:

She is graduating from BU this week! (GO TERRIERS!)
Her shoes are a size 2 1/2
She has a soft spot for obese cats (who doesn’t?!?)

If she wasn’t working on the Bon Me truck she would most likely be lounging in her bed, eating ice cream while trying to get a job working at a film festival.

The best parts about working on the truck are the meals and her coworkers, both of which are consistently awesome.

Her favorite meal? She love, love, loves the chocolate rice pudding and the deviled tea eggs – she could eat them all day long!

Meet Catherine Aust! She’s an environmental studies major at Northeastern.

Three fun things about Catherine:

She was born and raised in Alabama (but doesn’t have a southern accent).
She worked on an organic farm in Costa Rica for 6 months.
She is planning a long backpacking trip through Southeast Asia next year and is probably most excited about the food!

Q: If I didn’t work on the Bon Me truck, I would be _______

A: Homeless (gotta pay the rent somehow!)

Catherine has been working on the truck since January and says the best part about working on the truck is the fast paced work environment! She also loves working with such fresh and delicious ingredients.

Her favorite menu item is definitely a vegetarian tofu sandwich with extra, extra spicy mayo!

After chatting with the girls, we grab a bite to eat and relax!

We get a thai basil limeade (left) and an iced green tea (with no sweeteners!) – both delish on this humid day.

Check out the pulled pork udon noodle salad with the toasted sesame dressing! I love all the crunch in this dish – the onions, the sprouts and the pickled carrots!
