Dim and Den Sum

I have been eagerly awaiting an opportunity to try out the new Dim and Den Sum food truck, and when we finally got there Sarah was converted as well.

We drove out to Marcus Thomas last Thursday (on Emery Road–workplace of Cleveland Foodie) to pick up lunch at the truck. We came towards the end of their stint (1:15) but fortunately they weren’t out of anything. We ordered two tofu tacos, a beef shank taco, and the tater tots.

The sliced beef had an intense roasted meat flavor which was nicely balanced by the fresh greens. It was 85+ degrees out, but the taco was fresh enough to be enjoyable.

The real star was the tofu taco. The tofu was tangy and earthy, and the Killbuck Valley mushrooms and greens added a sharpness and depth of flavor. This is the perfect summer food, very satisfying but light as well. Both tacos also had freshly cut corn which added sweetness and crunch.

We also really enjoyed the tots, which were fresh and crisp. The barbecue sauce that came with them was good as well, sweeter than most but still smokey.

We’re definitely looking forward to catching the food truck again this summer.
