Chef Leslie got her start back in the ‘80s with Petite Cuisine, a catering company operating out of the tri-state area. Now, her family’s decided to bring her bounty of recipes straight to the Golden State via Born in Brooklyn. This true blue Brooklyn truck is taking traditional East Coast comfort grub through the San Diego streets. Utilizing this fully equipped mobile kitchen, traditional family recipes, and hand-selected ingredients, this team has crafted an authentic selection of Brooklyn eats for the folks of SoCal to enjoy. The menu offers a plethora of hearty feel-good fare with roots clearly tied to the Big Apple’s deli scene. You can sink your teeth into any number of decadent burgers smothered with full-bodied toppings like blue cheese crumbles, bacon, and chipotle aioli. Try a grilled cheese that kicks this classic off the kiddie menu, these sandwiches stuffed with everything from buffalo chicken meatballs to petsto. Don’t forget dessert in the form of a deep-fried Oreo because everything is, after all, better battered and fried in oil. As you probably gleaned, this truck’s an ideal pit-stop for anyone hoping to treat themselves to an indulgent meal. So, head on out on your next cheat day or, really, any time you’re hungry. Plus, they cater, so don’t hesitate to give your guests the gift of an epic feast by booking with Born in Brooklyn. Everyone will leave smiling. MUST TRY The NYC — A burger topped with a deep-fried ball of mac and cheese served between a buttery English muffin.
