 Ruta Cayejera

Our COVID-19 food truck tour continues this week with Ruta Cayejera, a truck featuring Mexican-themed breakfast food. 

The menu changes from week to week but most of their dishes feature eggs. 

We ordered the sweet potato chorizo hash with beans, eggs, avocado crema, pico de giallo, and Cotija cheese. We also ordered Longaniza sausage with beans, potatoes, eggs, onion, pico de giallo and Cotija cheese. The eggs were sunny side up and not overcooked as they were still a little runny. 

The name Ruta Cayejera translates to Street Route in English. The truck can be found at many of the Fresno area food truck venues. They post their location on Instagram regularly.

Our two breakfasts came to $19.98 including tax.

This week's stop on our Covid-19 Fresno food truck tour is Keto Korner. Keto Korner is food truck with menu items suitable for a keto diet (high on proteins and fat, low on sugar and carbs).

Keto Korner's menu features items such as the PizzaDilla. It consists of double cheeseburger, smoked brisket, bacon, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce sandwiched between 2 quesadillas. They also have a burger titled the Goliath, a cheeseburger with smoked brisket, tri-tip, bacon, and cheese sauce. Our choice was the Brisket Bacon Sub, smoked brisket, bacon, avocado salsa, cheese sauce, and salsa verde on a keto sub roll.

Each item comes with a side of pork rinds instead of chips since pork rinds have no carbs.

Our Brisket Bacon sub came to $16.09 including tax.

Challahday Bread Company

 Challahday Bread Company

Our Covid-19 journey in Fresno continues with a Micro-Bakery, the Challahday Bread Company specializing in Jewish holiday baked goods. You place your order either by calling them or through their web site.

All orders are delivered locally in the cities of Fresno/Clovis. Delivery arrangements are made at the time your order is placed. The Challahday Bread Company asks that you place your order at least 48 hours prior to the desired delivery of your baked goods, and if at all possible, place Holiday orders at least 2 weeks prior to the holiday.

We ordered their namesake Challah Bread. They make several varieties. We ordered the Whole Wheat Spiral Holiday Challah With Dried Fruit. Since the holiday of Purim was last week, we ordered the traditional Hamantaschen. Hamantaschen is an  Ashkenazi Jewish triangular pocket cookie filled with dried fruit paste (such as dates). The name refers to Haman, the villain in the Purim story. In Hebrew, Hamantaschen are known as oznei Haman, 'Haman's ears.' Purim is a Jewish holiday which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews, as recounted in the Book of Esther.
