Larry Comroe and Wade Smith's food truck, Far From Home, will make its Philadelphia debut tomorrow, Feb. 17. The formerly Virgin Islands-based operation, which Meal Ticket first mentioned in September, will serve at LOVE Park between 11 a.m. at 3 p.m. here's their opening menu, consisting of burgers, dogs and various international snacks. We want the Brazilly-Philly-Cheesesteak Dog!

I'm confused, how is that dog/steak Brazilian and where are the international treats on the menu?

The speed at which they make the food could be improved if another guy was helping on the grill.  Big orders like the one today backed things up significantly.  My chili dog was good still.

Just ate the brazilian steak/dog.  It took 15 minutes to make and cold canned tomoatoes do not make a steak brazilian.  Big thumbs down.

I had the mighty moo (their signature cheeseburger) and it was absolutely delicious. Yeah you have to wait a little bit for them to make it because it isn't McDonald's, and it takes a little bit of time to make fresh food- the food was really fresh and was seasoned really well. The sauce was so good too! Honestly, it was one of the best burgers I have had anywhere- and for the price (less than $6 for the mighty moo) you can't beat it! Can't wait to try the Mac Dog!
