10 Aug Please The Palate Pick of the Week: Blessed Bread Food Truck and Brioche Bread Sandos

If you think bread, carbs, and gluten, are your enemy, you will not want to read any further. But if you are a bread lover, you will want to know about Blessed Bread, a new vintage food truck business stationed on Melrose Place. Serving sandwiches on brioche bread, these sandwiches are nothing like you’ve never tasted before. This is why Blessed Bread and their Brioche Bread Sandos is the Please The Palate pick of the week.

Parked on Melrose Place, just off La Cienega, you cannot miss the pink vintage Citroen 1971 truck embellished with the Blessed Bread logo.

On one side of the vintage truck is a large window with the menu and where you can watch the sandwiches being made.

Blessed Bread was created by Russian-born Londoner Liana Kazaryan, the Founder and Brand Director of the superfood restaurant Avobar, which has locations in London, Hong Kong, and Dubai. Now Blessed Bread offers toasted brioche sandwiches.

What’s not to love about brioche bread?!? A classic egg- and butter-rich bread, brioche is tender and flakey with a dark, golden crust. And, at Blessed Bread, they take a large thick slice of Brioche, slice it down the middle, and then stuff it with local and organic sourced ingredients. The sandwiches are then put in eco-friendly biodegradable packaging with the tagline “The Goodness is Within”. And that is the truth.

These pocket-style brioche toasts are filled with a variety of tempting items. For egg lovers, there is the BB Scramble, the Breakfast BB with Bacon, the Breakfast BB with Smoked Salmon, and the Chorizo Eggs BB. With all of these Sandos, you can also add avocado. There is also the Avoholic BB with house guac and jalapeno and the Beef BB with pastrami, pickles, mustard, hot sauce, and caramelized onion. There is a Ricotta Toast BB and you can add strawberry jam, blueberry jam, or smoked salmon. And, there is the B-B-Banana with organic peanut butter, premium chocolate grenache, and banana. The Sandos range between $8 – $14.

At first, the Sandos look daunting as the bread is thick and the filling is overloaded at the top. But the Sandos are easy to pick up and hold in one hand. The bread is light and fluffy and the filling fills most of the sandwich.

The Blessed Bread Toasted Brioche Sandos is an innovative approach to quick-service food and the Sandos are fresh and tasty. The Blessed Bread Vintage Food Truck can be found on Melrose Place seven (7) days a week from 8 am – 2 pm. They are perfect for breakfast, a mid-morning snack, or a meal on the go.
