Chef Melly and the rest of the “Three Generations Food Truck” are serving up comfort food but with a gourmet twist at 2830 22nd Ave South St.Pete from around 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Orders can be made at the window or via the website.
When I think comfort food usually my go to is wings and fries or shrimp and fries a menu stable at chains like “Salem’s”. What puts Chef Melly above the chains are her homemade recipes and gourmet flair adding Fried Lobster Tail and Truffles Lamb Chops to an already mouth watering breakfast and lunch menu. Who else is offering fresh Red Velvet Chicken and Waffles, French Toast, and homemade Gouda grits.
Lately I have been getting the fried conch, shrimp, and fries when I have time to hit the truck. The siracha aioli is the perfect dipping sauce, adding a spice to the conch. Everything is always extra crispy just how I like it.
If I have a little extra money to splurge, I get an order of the Crabby Fries. Basically an order of extra crispy fries loaded with crab meat and siracha aioli.
Don’t forget to add a cup of “mystery lemonade” with your order, usually mine is gone before I leave the parking lot.
