chick chak food truck, Brookline

By the time 8 a.m. rolls around, the guys at Chik Chak Food Truck are already in full prep mode. They are getting ready for the lunch rush by hand packing falafel, seasoning kebabs, and tenderizing thin cuts of chicken cutlet. Come midday, Chik Chak—an Israeli expression that translates roughly to "chop chop!"—swiftly hands out pitas stuffed with house hummus, fresh Israeli salad, and fried falafel balls. Beef kebab, turkey shwarma, and grilled chicken is all prepared in the kosher style—that is, not certified kosher but using only kosher ingredients. This all amounts to a menu that will make most any Jewish grandmother jealous.
