One thing to remember about Hot Truck's delivery/phone order decision.  They don't have the luxury of having dorms full of hungry freshmen 50 feet away anymore.  They have to be able to make their presence known and cater to the new blood.  At first, I was appalled too, but how many freshmen, unaware of the greatness of Hot Truck, would walk all that way?

And because of the West Campus construction, Hot Truck is now situated at its normal spot day and night (not sure of the daytime hours).  Also, there's a Pepsi machine affixed to the steps external to the truck.  Problems: not open at all anymore on Sundays.  And after the Saturday WMU game, they didn't open until after 11 pm.

Keith, what does Soprano mean?  I haven't had Truck since '99 and if that term was in use I missed it.

Last I checked, daytime hours were M-F 9-2.  I think they serve normal Truck sandwiches plus breakfast stuff like they do at Shortstop (egg, bacon/sausage/ham, cheese on bagels).

QuoteAnd after the Saturday WMU game, they didn't open until after 11 pm.

11PM is the normal opening time on weekends.  Considering how late weekends tend to go there, it's no surprise they have no desire to open early--it's an exhausting job, to say the least.  (Delivery cuts out at 3AM on weekends.)

Is next year here yet?

FYI, Lemon Leaf is no longer open... it closed towards the beginning of the summer.

Hot Truck on the weekends still takes orders over the phone, but ya gotta go down and pick it up, so I saved myself 15 minutes once by calling and then heading down to wait (the whole thing still took 45 minutes). I agree though, ya gotta wait :-).

"Soprano" means "one meatball," and has been in use since at least 1987.

I never heard that one or saw it on the menu so I thought it was a new thing - figured it was a reference to the TV show.  Thanks for the answer.

Bistro Q seems to be the new default place for the Mangrove party, which used to go to Joe's on a regular basis.

They do delivery now?  That's just wrong.  You've got to stand out and wait or it's just not...
Well, you should be there to order and pick up.  Back in my day we used to retire to 660 and wait indoors.

Nope, it's a reference to the tone of your voice if you were partially castrated (i.e., had "one ball").

Yeah.  I don't think it was ever "listed" on the menu.  But the menu doesn't claim to be complete - just to include the most common terms.

I understand that without the frosh there they may have needed to do something.  But calling in for Truck delivery is still "wrong".

I rarely ever waited too long, 'cuz during the time when I was totally truck addicted (3 to 4 times a week for "dinner" at the end) I usually got there before the truck did.  Thus no lines.

Yeah, that was my second guess although the first thing that comes to my mind would be no meatballs at all.

Of course, to order a sub with no meatballs, you don't need a term for it.  You just don't bring up the notion of meatballs on your sub at all.  If you order an MBC with no meatballs you are just being a pain in the ass.  And they are allowed to put the truck in gear and back over you.

Tom, try Lucatelli's. It's across the street from Northside. My family went there the night of my graduation, and my Italian stepfather was impressed.  Therefore, it must be more than decent.
