DessertTruck: Creme Brulee For The Rest Of Us

Last week, we talked about the benefits of restaurants that put all their money into quality food and nothing into overhead. Heading back to New York, here's another high-end eatery-on-wheels that is worth taking for a spin.

DessertTruck has been satisfying the sweet teeth of the West Village for over a year now and more recently, those of Park Avenue office drones, too. But unlike all those trendy dessert bars that have popped up around town in the past few years, this one is based out of a truck, so they have no worries about losing their lease.

Jerome Change, a former pastry sous chef at Le Cirque, runs the kitchen at DessertTruck, churning out treats like chocolate bread pudding with bacon crème anglaise; vanilla crème brulee with freshly burned sugar; and molten chocolate cake with a liquid ganache center topped with sea salt and roasted pistachios.

At five bucks a pop, DessertTruck will set you back a little more than Mister Softee, but considering foodies have been known to plop down hundreds for a meal at Le Cirque just so they can try the legendary crème brulee, this one is quite the deal.
