I\u2019ve become so tired of eating the same things every time I go out that it started to feel like I was just wasting my money. When I noticed the food truck \u201cDelicious Combinations\u201d sitting off of Main Street, I was instantly intrigued. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a beautiful, warm sunny day, my boyfriend and I decided we should go ahead and give it a try. So we made our way over without knowing anything about any of their dishes. Luckily, the woman who was taking our order was incredibly kind and willing to answer all of my many questions, and even gave me free samples when I asked which of two items she recommended. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At first, I was a little disappointed because even having only two types of meat on their menu, chicken and lamb, they had already run out of chicken. However, I figured I should probably try something new anyways and I ordered the lamb shawarma entree, which came with hummus and tabouleh, a salad with ingredients such as parsley, mint, onion and tomatoes. My boyfriend ordered the lamb shawarma wrap. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I found my meal to be pretty good. I wasn\u2019t super impressed, but I enjoyed what I ate and never found myself disliking anything on my plate. Perhaps it just wasn\u2019t my thing; my entree didn\u2019t have a ton of flavor and felt kind of boring. The sides were more flavorful, yet I simply didn\u2019t love \u00a0the taste. Though my boyfriend enjoyed his meal more than I enjoyed mine, both of us were satisfied. However, I wouldn\u2019t really say anything more than that. It was good, not great. The servings aren\u2019t super large, but it also really isn\u2019t expensive so I wouldn\u2019t expect them to be. You definitely get what you pay for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, I would say that everything was cooked well, and the presentation was pleasing which I enjoyed. But I don\u2019t think it\u2019s somewhere I\u2019ll be returning to frequently. The best part about it was the customer service, as the person who took my order was always bearing a smile and wanted to make sure we were enjoying every bite. She almost makes it worth returning again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think it\u2019s something I would recommend to students in the area who want to give something new a try. It was definitely unlike anything else I\u2019ve had around here, and I\u2019m still glad that I decided to eat there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact the author at chealy16@mail.wou.edu<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Photo by: Paul F.
