Le Truc: Burgers on the Bus

In one sense, Le Truc is one of the most stable food “trucks” in San Francisco. The owners pay rent to Wells Fargo bank to park what's actually a converted schoolbus in its lot at 470 Brannan (at Fourth St.) all day every weekday.

Perhaps it's natural, then, that Le Truc should have a chef change, just like completely stable restaurants. Many food trucks simply cease to exist when a founder leaves. But when original partner Hugh Schick walked away, the remaining partners brought in Jessie Rivas, a former executive chef from Potrero Brewing Company.

Rivas and new sous-chef Tevye Nieto have put more salads on the menu. But the emphasis remains meat sandwiches, particularly burgers.

And a special feature remains that because Le Truc is actually a bus (is that a bad French thing?), you can sit inside on comfy benches and watch the crew make your lunch.
