Stumbled upon a really great food truck in Champaign called
Cracked, which perches at Mathews and Springfield from 8 am to 4 pm, M-F (a second truck keeps roughly the same hours at Goodwin & Oregon). A full schedule can be found at their website, linked above.
Cracked Food Truck - Mathews & Springfield, Champaign, ILCracked MenuMorning Bender - fried egg, cheddar cheese, hash browns, cream cheese, bacon ($1 extra) on ciabatta
Goy Vey - fried egg, bacon, hard salami, hash browns, sweet n' spicy cream cheese, cheese (.50 extra) on ciabatta
Underdog - all-beef Kosher hot dog, scrambled egg, grilled onions onpoppyseed bun
As a big fan of breakfast sandwiches, I have to say these were exceptionally tasty. I loved the ingredient combinations and thought the hash browns worked especially well, since they were cooked to order, piping hot and super crispy, even tucked inside the sandwiches. The ciabatta was soft enough to bite through cleanly but still study enough to hold the ingredients in place. Finding this truck made the bittersweet moment of dropping our son off at school for the first time just a bit less of a bummer. I know he's been back to Cracked a few times since we left, which is kind of comforting in its own way. And I'm pretty sure we'll all visit again together the next time we drive down for a visit.
