The Chef Truck is a gourmet food truck that opened in Branford, Connecticut in February 2020. It…read morewas founded by Chef John Kronfeld and his fiancée Missy Miller. Kronfeld is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America with over 20 years of experience in the restaurant business. Some of the restaurants he worked at over the years include Bobby's Burger Palace at Mohegan Sun Casino and the kitchen at the Omni Hotel in New Haven. Miller dabbles as an amateur cook while working from home as a campus recruiting consultant. The couple's mission is to give customers a gourmet restaurant experience right on the street or from the comfort of their own homes. This past weekend was the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law at Stewards of the Land Brewery in Northford. It just so happens that they booked the Chef Truck to provide the food for the reception. I had previously sampled some of Chef John's delicious food when I attended an exclusive 'Foodie Influencer' event a few months back at the same brewery. I was not disappointed then and I certainly wasn't this time. The first course featured an Autumn Salad (salad greens, sliced apples, gorgonzola, pancetta) and bowls of Pumpkin Bisque. Both dishes really hit the spot. The next course featured Chicken n' Waffles, Mac n' Cheese Fritters, and Cheese-stuffed Squash Blossoms. Everything was perfect! The final course was served buffet style and included the "Mississippi Mac Attack" (slow-cooked pulled pork over Mac n' Cheese with Scallions) and "General Tso's Chickpeas" (crispy chickpeas, tofu & broccoli tossed in sweet & spicy sauce over jasmine rice). Everything was so flavorful. I think that the second course may have been my favorite. Another great culinary experience from Chef John! If you happen to see the Chef Truck parked at your favorite brewery or winery in New Haven County then you won't be disappointed!

I was dying to try their red hots and one of their stuffed burgers. I opted for the French onion burger and it was heavenly. The onions were perfectly cooked and you could taste the essence of a French onion soup. The burger was juicy and nicely cooked. The red hot was EXACTLY what I wanted. It has been so hard to find these and I was beyond delighted to get my hands on one. It was perfectly grilled with a nice snap in every bite. The perfect amount of spicy and I ended up tearing through two with ease. I'm going to try to get to their restaurant in north haven for sure in the future. They are one of the top food trucks in CT hands down.

So all in all I'd like to start by giving them this verbal (ehhh textual) 3.5 stars…read more This being the second time I've tried them out, both times parked over at Two Roads brewing, I've gotta say that this might be the slowest, most poorly stocked truck I've ever eaten out of... The truck seems poorly managed in general but the sandwiches being pumped out, or trickled out, really are pretty darn good. Portion size is well up there with the price point and they taste great. Am I going to chase after them on the highway and stalk out their next location? Heck no, though I probably wouldn't do that for any other truck either... Wait a minute, I think I sorta have, never-mind. This time around after waiting on a line of about 8 people for a 25 minutes and then another ten minutes just waiting for the guy to write my order down, and another 20 minutes to get the damn thing made, I had it, the Reuben Cuban... But no fries, apparently the guy before me got the last bit of potato. No biggie, I get that it's a busy brewery and people gotta eat. Not much else around so the truck really was swamped. As a business I think they could use some no-brainer streamlining, hell get rid of the empanada, it's out of place anyway, or trim the menu, I don't know, but I've never waited an hour for food out of any truck before. Seriously took a large chunk of time out of the day. Otherwise the thing was good, I think it needed a better pastrami flavor as the pulled pork sort of overwhelmed the thing and that officiallay makes up half the sandwiches on the board, with a BBQ pulled pork and a Cuban, made with bacon... Just seems off. Overall a good deal for good food and you should try it because nothing else in the area will be better. I'm just thinking the redundancy makes for a smaller variety... Meanwhile the wait times don't align themselves properly at all.

Hello Dave and Lou, I wanted to send you a message regarding…read morethe service you provided to express my gratitude and appreciation of your services. I have attended many parties and most times people will find some good things and some bad things to say about everything, especially the catering. They'll find one of the items to be good but usually also something to complain about. This was absolutely not the case for us and we have you to thank for that. It has been only 3 days since the party and of the 150 people in attendance I have already been directly contacted by almost all of them specifically to tell me how "amazing" the catered food was. We started receiving calls and texts messages first thing the morning after from people wanting to tell us how great the food was. Each person who has called wanted to know who performed the catering and how they tried every option of food available because each was so good. People have told me that they don't like fish but after having the meat options they also had the salmon because of how good the meat was and the salmon was amazing. Same goes for the people who only wanted salmon, they tried the meats and were amazed as well. At a party people rarely remember such detail as what sides were offered with dinner yet almost everyone who has called has commented on the fantastic food from the main to the sides. Who remembers the sides at a wedding party? The fact that I've had comments such as: "the best I've ever had" specific to the pickles shows we found a unique and excellent caterer. I also want to thank you personally because under the circumstance you were presented I feel you went above and beyond to provide what I consider to be the best catering I have experienced at such an event. Even with temperature around 95 degrees not only was the food presented perfectly but the service was absolutely outstanding. No guest wanted for anything. Your staff was amazing. They attended to everyone's needs and always provided whatever service was necessary. You were able to not only perform the main dinner flawlessly but handled our late change of having the cocktail party outside in the summer heat flawlessly as well. Your staff went above and beyond the entire day/evening with everything they did. I wanted to send you my sincere thanks and appreciation and to let you know that should you ever need to provide a review to a potential customer I would be thrilled to have this note used as a reference in any way you choose, or have my contact information forwarded to anyone wanting to know about your service. It would be my pleasure to provide my review of your service to anyone. You both made our party one that people have been talking about since it ended and I am sure will continue to for quite some time. Thank you for the amazing food and tremendous service. We have already found ourselves trying to come up with any reason to have another party just so we could have you provide the catering.

I was told that I could not have my deposit of over $500 refunded, but that I could use it before the end of the year. This is their usual policy which is fine, but if anyone remembers. Weddings etc were not allowed to be held for the remainder of 2020. I regret not following suit on this, but I constantly think about how this company profited off of me never using their services due to a global pandemic. Poor form.
