Stephon’s Mobile Bistro

Stephon’s Mobile Bistro has been serving what I’d call «pre-​hangover food» for over eight years. Though he does lunches and catering gigs, Stephon and his family team are best known for being a beacon of greasy goodness parked within stumbling distance of various watering holes over the years. During my recent midnight visit, a brisk business was underway with the well-​relaxed customers treating Stephon as something between savior and favorite uncle. I was ordering take-​out sandwiches, so I loaded up with three best sellers: Philly Cheese ($ 7), Grilled BBQ Chicken ($ 6) and the infamous Woody Burger ($ 10). The first was pretty good if standard, chopped steak and cheese served on a long roll with grilled onions and peppers. Better was the chicken breast, served on a round bun with plenty of sauce and onion. Tasty. But nothing compares to the Woody, a double bacon cheeseburger split in half, served on a long roll with a grilled hot link on top. The Woody is every bit as good as it sounds and maybe a little bit better. Best of all, every order is served with fresh, hand-​cut fries that are crispy, fluffy, and beyond delicious even without a drink or three beforehand.
