It might sound scientific, but you won’t be a guinea pig here. The Clover Food Lab has been a favorite of the college kids and locals for several years. The place is vegetarian, so it’s not like many other food trucks you see that serve up a variety of meaty meals. But even if you’re not a vegetarian, it’s still a delicious place to grab a meal. Try the eggplant plate or the soy BLT and you’ll be full and happy in no time.
