Peasant Food Manifesto

The theme of this truck is a global fusion and offers an extremely unique menu.
I ordered the Shakshuka ($ 9), which is their most popular item.
A hearty tomato sauce with crumbled chorizo, onion and feta cheese made up the bottom layer of the dish. The sauce was extremely flavorful, and packed a medium heat. It was topped with a bed of kale, which was covered with an egg (requested well-​done) and a generous piece of flat-​bread. The kale was cooked perfectly — tender and slightly crunchy. Kale normally has somewhat of a bitterness to it, but the sauce made it milder.
I did expect the Shakshuka to have a larger portion of chorizo… there was probably about 5x more veggies than meat. The entire meal itself was pretty filling since it included the egg and bread, but it was also very saucy.
However, I would consider this one of the healthiest options that I have seen offered by a food truck as it balanced out all food groups!
The owner was very friendly by greeting customers and taking the time to introduce the menu items. Overall, a generous lunch portion and savory flavors at a reasonable price!

Best food truck I have ever been to hands down. Super creative menu and friendly service. So far I have tried the «phở-​renchy» dip sandwich and the sriacha biscuits and gravy and both were out of this world!

I had the shakshuka w/​an egg on top, and it was super filling and delicious. I would totally get it again, and it also was a generous portion for the money. Great value, a pretty healthy meal, great flavor. Give this food truck business!

Visited Peasant Food Manifesto for the first time over the weekend at Kirkland Uncorked. I tried the shakshuka at the suggestion of the woman in the truck — WOW! It was unlike anything I’ve ever tried before, it was flavorful, filling, healthy. So delicious. The spicy tomato sauce with the greens and the egg, it was a perfect flavor combination. Everyone walking by was marveling at how tasty my dish looked — I kept pointing over to the bright turquoise food truck where they could find their own. It’s nice to try something unique from a food truck and isn’t grilled cheese, burgers, fries or tacos.
Now I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to recreate their shakshuka recipe… Yum!

They have items on their menu that are different and really interesting, but I wasn’t super amazed. Everything tasted good, but I’m not sure if I’d get them again. I’ve tried the phở sandwich, the kimchi mac and cheese, and the ramen burger. None of those really stood out to me, although I was super excited to try the ramen burger. The burger was tasty, but I didn’t really like the noodles they used. I might try their other stuff next time.

This food truck was parked outside a brewery last night and I decided to give it a try. Their special was called something like Kamikaze Burger, it was a beef patty, fried egg, greens, kimchi, and instead of a bread bun it was between two friend up ramen ‘buns’! It was very unique, and quite tasty! My only complaint would be how messy it was and how the ramen buns instantly fell apart, but they must have known that because they gave a fork and knife and oodles of napkins. Burger was $ 10 I believe, but it was pretty gigantic. The rest of their menu sounded interesting too, very unique fusion items I’ve not seen anywhere before.

We had a chance to try fusion tacos at Taco Libre Truck Showdown in International District this weekend. Peasant Food Manifesto offered a number of fusion-​style tacos for us to choose, ranging from biscuit and gravy tacos, kimchi mac and cheese tacos, phở tacos and peking duck tacos.
We opted for Peking duck with hoi sin sauce taco $ 5 for 2 4″ tacos. Honestly, the tacos were ok. Their tacos lacked a punch of flavors, despite the good sounding ingredients. But I give them the benefit of doubts, as the tacos were fresh and I suppose they normally make sandwiches with those ingredients rather than tacos.
Overall, I wouldn’t mind stopping by this truck again to try their fusion sandwiches… probably not for their one-​off tacos event though.

Fantastic food truck — very interesting fusion food that is also delicious.

Cute truck, friendly peeps. decent value. There wasn’t a single thing on the menu that didn’t sound like something I would happily put in my mouth, but I ended up getting shakshuka and a small kimchi mac. It’s really hard for some reason to find shakshuka in this town, so I was excited to see they had it. It was pretty legit, although I would have preferred a little bit thicker gravy and a little less of the greens. Still, there was plenty of gravy, with plenty of sausage, and the bread was really well made.
The kim chi mac and cheese was delicious and disappeared quickly. I would have liked a little more kimchi in my dish, but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering it agian.
All in all, as I’m sure you have gathered, I’m a nitpicker. I’m pointing out the things that I think could use improvement… but I’ll definitely go back again.

We work next to Beth and the Peasant Food Manifesto every Wednesday, and if we play our cards right, we get to trade with them for lunch. I am a big fan of the Yosemite Sam, which is a satisfying pair of super yummy sriracha biscuits in a nest of greens and liberally covered in a hearty and satisfying chorizo gravy. If you can, get an egg on top to complete the masterpiece. It’s wow.
Additionally, the rest of the menu is a clever and tasty mix of classic peasant fare from around the world. I do wish there was some fun play on Russian borscht in the mix, to go with the whole manifesto theme, and hey, beets are yummy.
Give ‘em a go!

Loved this truck! I had the shakshuka, but also got to try the mac ‘n’ cheese. Everything was great (don’t believe the rumors that it isn’t!)! Also it was reasonably priced! The people running the truck were super friendly and excited about what they’re doing. If you have the chance to eat here DO IT!

Ordered from their food truck in downtown Bellevue because there was no line (all the other trucks had long lines). What a mistake!
$ 8 buys you a tiny cup of Mac and Cheese with Kimchi, which turned out to be as disgusting as it sounds. There was barely any taste of kimchi (or kimchi cabbage at all). The mac and cheese was the kind of stale and flavorless crap that you would get from a dollar store. I had to buy another lunch elsewhere.
There is a reason there is no line — avoid at any cost!

I typically shy away from fusion cuisine because my experiences have usually been a miss. That’s why I was especially intrigued with Peasant Food Manifesto’s menu of «global fusion» dishes.
The food truck is hard to miss with its bold color and graphics. You can find the truck in downtown Seattle on Tuesdays across from the City Target on 2^nd and Pike. My coworker and I wanted to beat the lunch rush and came by a little after it opened at 11AM.
The «Phở-​Renchy» Dip Sandwich caught my attention instantly. Deconstructed phở in a sandwich form?! Sign me up!!! At $ 10, the sandwich is hearty and filling and in the typical downtown lunch price range.
The sandwich itself is a healthy serving of sprouts, roast beef, cilantro and hoisin sauce in a French baguette. It kind of reminds me of a sproutier version of a banh mi sandwich. The French Dip influence comes into play with the phở aus jus, which does taste a little differently than typical phở broth (but still good!)
The lady at the food truck said that the shakshuka was its most popular dish — I’ll definitely be coming by again to try it! :)

Daaaang that is some good shakshuka.
Cute truck, friendly service, and good value.
I really enjoyed the shakshuka — great flavors, and very filling and hearty and comforting, but all in all pretty healthy, relatively.

This is going to be my go to for Monday lunch. So far I’ve had the Yosemite Sam, which is a sriracha and cheese biscuit smothered in chorizo gravy on a bed of arugula, and the Blue Box Got Seoul, a macaroni and cheese with kimchi. Both were delicious. The macaroni had a great deep cheese flavor, fairly sharp, nothing like the generic powered cheese fare that comes from a box. The Yosemite Sam packed some heat, but nothing over the top. I’ll be back to try everything on the menu.

Peasant Food Manifesto serves up some amazing flavor combinations.
A really nice find. Add this food truck to your list of must try.

Peasant Food Manifesto is a culinary delight for the senses! A masterpiece of epicurean creation’s sure to please everyone!

I checked out the Peasant Food Manifesto food truck recently in West Seattle and I was very pleased!
The brand spanking new bright blue truck is easy to spot and the the staff were very friendly and helpful in describing the food. And Beth, the owner, is awesome and seems very passionate about the food!
The food was as delicious! We tried almost everything and were very pleased with all of it! The food was a bit on the spicy side for our four year old daughter, but that just meant more for me!
I can’t wait for Beth and PFM to come back to West Seattle!

Recently, I caught up with Peasant Food Manifesto at Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market.
was holding the Back-​to-​School Truck-​In featuring 9 food trucks. I heard about this truck but didn’t have a chance to try them out until last week.
I like the color of the truck — that light blue catches my eye. The two staff members on board (one was Beth and I’m not sure of the other person’s name) were very nice. The food came out fairly quickly and I was on my way.
I had the Inigo Montoya Shakshuka which is described as an Israeli Tunisian dish featuring an over easy egg in a spicy tomato sauce with greens, Uli’s Spanish Chorizo, feta, and served with flatbread. For $ 9, I thought the dish looked a bit small. I was surprised at how hearty it was and found myself getting full and actually unable to finish it. The greens were cooked just right — not soggy or too raw. At first, I thought the tomato sauce wasn’t very spicy. It has a bit of an after kick but isn’t overly spicy. I’ve never had shakshuka so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The flavors worked well together. I liked the tomatoes but some of them were a bit oversized for a bite. I could have used a bit more chorizo as well since it was so yummy! Finally, the egg was a bit small. They do offer an extra egg for $ 2. That egg was cooked perfectly! It had beautiful texture and color and that yolk was runny just the way I like it.
If meat isn’t your jam, they offer a vegetarian option for $ 8. The next dish I want to try is the Blue Box Got Seoul. Think Tillamook Cheddar Mac & Cheese + Kimchi. Sounds good to me!
For a new truck, I think the menu is innovative and execution is food. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Just when you think you have tried just about every sandwich possible you get gobsmacked! I have always loved a great bowl of Phở but pretty tough to eat on the go (gets a tad messy). Who would have thought to put that experience in a sandwich. Was in Ballard taking care of some business, saw a FoodTruck called Peasant Food Manifesto and they had a sandwich called a Phở-​Renchy. I got mine with extra jalapinos (cuz thats how I like it!). It was all the elements of a bowl of Phở on a french roll with the broth for a dipping sauce. Fabulous! The broth was delicious & fragrent (as we all know that is the main part of a good bowl of Phở). A unique and delicious sandwich from some nice folks. They told me they just opened and I hope they make it so I can back many times (i’m just that selfish!). Give it a try. They said I could find where they are every day on Facebook and Twitter.
