Americana food truck is in The Podski Lot,  a small lot with several food trucks and one brick and mortar place where you can buy drinks or grab a glass of water.    A bunch of colorful picnic tables are on a combination of artificial grass and concrete for a place to eat.  Parking is tricky as it’s just what you can find on the street, but most have a 2-hour free parking zones.  Owner Joe Franco wanted to offer an affordable burger where anybody could come out and eat and opened this venture in 2020 then moved to the Podski in Nov. 2022.  The basic OG Burger is only $8 and includes caramelized onions, American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato and secret sauce and is served on a toasted brioche bun.   Each burger includes two 2-ounce patties which are only cooked on one side to form a crust on the bottom of the patty yet keep the beef moist.    For the vegetarians he offers a grilled cheese and for burger lovers there are variations including BBQ or jalapenos.   It made a great lunch.

Set-Up

Food

The OG Burger had a good balance of ingredients and an amazing crispy edge on the burger.  A mayo based sauce bound the lettuce and tomato.  I could see how many would want to add another patty for just $2 but it was fine as it is to me.

The Popper was a double patty with cream cheese, Ranch dressing, pickled jalapeños, bacon, white American cheese, caramelized onions, tomato, lettuce and secret sauce.  By using pickled peppers they didn’t add too much spice at all.  The bacon was crisp and tasty.  Again a good balance of ingredients but it bordered on too much sauce as it was really drippy.   I loved the crispy edge on the smashed burger patties.

One order of fries was plenty for 2 and came with ketchup or burger sauce.  We got one of each.  The fries were a thin cut frozen fry but came out hot with crispy edge and soft middle.  They were fine but not as special as the burger.
