Octopus Food Truck - Philadelphia food truck with no menu, no prices, no signs. Review.

Located on 20th and Ludlow - Octopus Food Truck is the unofficial name of a food truck in Philadelphia where "you get what you get."

There are no signs, no prices, and no menu. You hand the cook $10, and he gives you a box of food.

With a business model like such, the food must be good....right?

He may be open for only 2 hours, but he works for much longer than 2 hours. He cleans his truck for 5 hours, he shops for groceries and preps every day. That means he easily works 10 hours or more a day.

Imagine if Anthony Bourdain was still with us and visited that man to do a deep-dive interview on camera. That would've been tremendously special.

Is not because something sad happened. Its because life is sad and out of our control. But food for Greeks is a love and a passion meant to be spread. Μπράβο Κωνσταντίνε!

So he gives you a good rice (carbs), meats, veggies, also a fruit. This seems to be the principles of how the healthy food should be, just like in my country, then creates and innovates it every single time with his fresh choices of ingredients he bought before opens the shop. And I agree, he seems to do this as a tribute to someone he dears the most in his life with all the flowers decoration, something like carry on the passion of that person's sake, and one of them could be about a simple, and healthy food that brings happiness

He is a blessing. Would be great if someone like him did this in Florida.
