Sorbu is a little truck where big flavors happen. We enjoy changing our menu every two weeks to keep ourselves and our costumers engaged in a seasonal experience. By doing so we are able to play and experiment with a variety of thoughtfully sourced ingredients and recipes. One of our main focus and interest is “la panificazione" (the process of making bread). We are commited to serve our sandwiches on bread baked daily in house. Our food is the result of a blend of our Italian family recipes, with some Tuscan traditional dishes like “il 5 e 5” (the panino with torta di ceci and grilled eggplant, a classic of the Costa Tirrenica and the main impulse behind this food truck project), local ingredients and a good dose of experimentation.

Fried zucchini from my garden, pickled green tomatoes also from my garden, and olive ricotta not from my garden. My ricotta starts didn’t take this year. Maybe next year?
Simple quiet mornings are key in this industry. Most of our days are filled with so fast paced orchestrated chaos that I have learned to get up before the sun and embrace the moments before it all. Sometimes I write songs on the guitar. Sometimes I r
Prosciutto cotto, apricot fig leaf jam, burrata, & chicories. It’s just a ham n’ cheese sandwich that eats like a cheese course.
Parsnip lemon poppyseed cake w/ fig leaf macerated apricot, some cute B. Buttons from the garden, and a little fig leaf powder for funzies. I have a deep seeded emotional attachment to this cake. I’ve also come to realize that really the only c
Back in action! Was a nice break. Good times had by all! We will be easing back into this hot metal box we work in. I refuse to turn the flat top on in this heat. But instead of just closing I’ll be cooking outside. It’s where I’ve
We are taking a moment to rest and breathe. One of the best parts about this business is the ability to shut it down. The machine must rest if it is to keep functioning. The kids are off to Italy w/ Aure, Jonny is headed towards the trees, and I will
Sip the sophistication and taste the elegance in every bubble. Cucumber mint cooler, because your tastebuds deserve a spa day. 🥒 😉
We are open today 6/29 12-3 as a bonus Sorbu Sunday!!! Closed yesterday for Cora’s 6th bday. We laughed. We cried. We partied.
Good morning. We have cake. It’s a GF polenta cake in fact. A blend of almond flour and polenta, cardamom, rose, and orange topped with honey rose water sweet cream, TN maple candied sunflower seeds, & a lil lemon balm. Cute.
Current menu for this cycle. Fun things for fun people! Thank you everyone for everything. We enjoy what we do.
Thanks for the busy couple days. We will be closed this Friday and Saturday 6/20-21. On my way to Nashville to do a beautiful dinner with beautiful people. See you next week. Drink water. Hug your people.
We bake on the daily y’all. Fresh sourdough focaccia is the backbone of these menus. The spine if you will. Of which we slice open and fill with flavor. And let’s be honest a stack of fresh loaves is just fun! HMU if you want a full loaf.
As the great @michael_jo_garofola would say, “It’s salad time!” @eloisaorganicfarm frisée, pickled red onion & zucchini, sheep’s milk feta, sunflower seeds, & allium red wine vinaigrette. Tantalizing it is!
