Bring on the bao

“My partners and I agreed that we would name it (the food truck) after my partner’s son, as a reminder to us that we invested in the food truck business to give back to our children and community,” he says.

Customers can choose from a variety of bao buns with different fillings. Options include spicy garlic chili butter crab ($15) and chicken chipotle ($15). All baos come with arugula, microgreens and a side of sidewinder fries.

“The chicken chipotle is one of my favorites,” McClaverty says. “I prepare a deep-fried, seasoned chicken thigh served with sliced pickles, marinated ponzu jalapeño and top it off with chipotle aioli sauce, crispy fried onions and microgreens.”

Crispy pork belly sisig ($15) is a customer favorite.

“This Filipino-inspired dish consists of chopped, crispy, deep-fried lechon sauteed with onions, jalapeños and a citrus soy sauce,” Mc-Claverty says.

While you’re at the truck, don’t pass on the loaded sidewinder fries ($13).

“These french fries have a unique look to them,” McClaverty says. “They’re coated with my special butter, then topped with shredded crab, Sriracha aioli, kabayaki sauce, crispy fried onions and chopped parsley.”
