Most Creative Food Trucks

Yay! We've been named one of America's most creative food trucks by US News and World Report/Yahoo Travel. Check it out at Yahoo.

Soupsmith Menu

Soup time has arrived! Here's our first menu for Soupsmith week, January 16-22. We're doing six soups at a time (the menu will rotate all week). All the soups are made from scratch, down to the stocks (Jidori chicken, veggie, and oxtail).

You can get each individually or get a three soup sampler. Also, it proved to be too hard to imagine living without fries altogether, so we're offering side fries seasoned to pair with each soup.

Here's the first set of soups:

Truffled Chestnut Mushroom: 5 types of mushrooms, sherry, ground chestnuts, cream, finished with truffle oil.

Chicken Noodle: Jidori chicken, pancetta, egg noodles, ginger and saffron

Hot and Sour Lamb: lamb leg, camargue red rice, sichuan peppercorn, chiles de arbol, topped with cilantro and scallions

Coconut Butternut: roasted squash, coconut cream, apples, chipotle (vegan)

Spiced Spinach: baby spinach, black mustard seed, various spices, cream, topped with roasted red peppers, pine nuts and feta (vegetarian)

Curried Seafood Chowder: scallops, shrimp, calamari, Yukon gold potatoes, Madras curry, moscato (pictured at the top of this post)

Schedule for Soupsmith

Our schedule for this week's up, when Frysmith will become the one-time Soupsmith pop-up truck! We're still looking to fill a couple of spots, so if you have a location, email us at info@eatfrysmith.com

Soupsmith

From January 16-21, Frysmith will turn into Soupsmith. That's right, soup only for one week. We're doing takes on familiar classics and some newfangled stuff as well. We'll have a rotating menu and a sampler available. Here are some of the possibilities:

Truffled Chestnut and Mushroom Soup
Hot and Sour Lamb w/ Wild Rice
Sundried Tomato Bisque topped w/ parmiggiano and optional pancetta
Chicken and Chorizo Noodle w/ saffron
Shrimp, Andouille & Black-Eyed Pea Stew
Indian-spiced Spinach Soup w/ roasted peppers, feta and pine nuts
Butternut Soup w/ apples, chipotle & pumpkin seeds
Short Rib Soup w/ Israeli couscous & roasted cauliflower

Beer, Fries and Pancakes!

On Friday, January 6th, we're teaming up with the Buttermilk truck and Eagle Rock Brewery to do a special Beer, Fries and Pancakes Combo. We'll be making a poutine using Eagle Rock Brewery beers and pairing it up with Buttermilk's red velvet pancakes. Dinner and dessert will cost only $12 and whoever gets the discounted combo can also receive $1 off a pint of beer.

Both trucks will be at Eagle Rock Brewery (3056 Roswell St., Glassell Park) from 6-10p on Friday, January 6th!

Happy Holidays!

The Frysmith truck is only open this week for private parties. Call 818-371-6515 to book us!
You can also get fries Tuesday, the 27th through Friday, the 30th from our kitchen at Loaded, 6377 Hollywood Blvd. from 5-11p!

New Poutines all Month!

We're doing new poutines all month! Right now we have this Oak-Smoked Brisket Poutine with lemony shaved brussels sprouts as well as Holiday Bacon poutine flavored with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and orange peel.

Free Jam Session with Food Trucks This Weekend

Our New Flat

We're switching to plates! Our new flat is a 6 by 9 inch oval platter. It's made of eco-friendly bagasse. It fits in your hand for street eating (unless you have particularly small hands or are a baby). It does cost twice as much as our old boats, but, hey, it's not like I own a business to try to make money or anything.The main reason for the switch is that we can spread out our hearty toppings more evenly, and hopefully, create an even tastier Frysmith meal.

Food Truck Festivals this Weekend

We're hitting two food truck festivals this weekend. On Saturday, we'll be part of the huge event at Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia. From 10-5p, 70 food trucks will be serving it up in the infield. Admission is only $5 at the gate, so enjoy the ponies while getting your grub on.

On Sunday, it's a fundraiser in Agoura Hills. Admission is only $5 if you purchase tickets online with the proceeds going to Agoura Hills High's Baccalaureate program. For more information, visit www.agouramunchmadness.com.
