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.

So if you ask nicely I’ll make this for you. Secret menu style. Turnip top kimchi, fried chicken, anchovy Mayo, and Persian cuke. The train has momentarily derailed over here.

I’d like to thank our amazing small staff for being truly the best. Jonny @mogulthrasher & McKenzie @calapp_5 have helped make this business what is. It’s a little weird referring to them as staff because Jonny is my brother and McKe
Spelt flour beet chocolate cake with whipped cream fraiche, dark chocolate ganache, & beet powder. It’s so rich! Goes great with a cocktail or an espresso. No we will not make you an espresso martini.
It was so fun to run some skewers that we are doing it again! This time beef with turnip top pesto, turnip and radish salad, and sunflowers seeds. Meat on a stick is just fun. Tbh any food on a stick is fun! Lookin at you gas station corn dog. Open t
I think there’s maybe 6 of these tuna sandwiches left. I underestimated people’s love for tuna salad. I apologize and it will never happen again. I take full accountability. I’ll make more next week.
We will be open tonight (4/16) 6-8pm with a controlled menu if you will. Meaning I don’t get a bunch of our produce in until tomorrow so small but tight menu this evening. For the first time ever we have chicken in the truck! Served in skewer f
This gorgeous stack of vegetation is actually a sandwich! Fava tops, slow roasted carrot, pickled chilies, burrata, & fresh herbs. Spring time sandwich time. Bread is just a vehicle for to taste the season??? I’m sticking with that. Be here
Salad days over here at Sorbu Bar n Grill! I love salad deeply. I basically live off of salad and rice. This is a pretty basic salad that I make a lot for myself and I love it. Swipe to read the current menu. Have a sunny time out there! Here til 8pm
