Dylan Field ran a burger pop-up before parking Brave Idiot permanently behind No Quarter, and the operation has grown from a local word-of-mouth situation into one of the city's most respected hot chicken trucks without losing any of the things that made it good. The chicken is thighs, which is the correct cut — more fat, more flavor, and a crispier skin than the breast does under this kind of heat treatment. Ten heat levels, and the owner will tell you honestly whether you're ready for the one you're considering.
The burgers are not an afterthought. The smash patty variations — including one in a crunch wrap and one on pierogis instead of a bun — are the kind of thing a kitchen does when someone genuinely enjoys cooking rather than just running a truck. The pimento cheese on the hot chicken sandwich is correct. The pickles are high quality. Everything is made to order.
This is a food truck with the ethos of a serious kitchen and the personality of a neighborhood bar. Worth Trying is underselling it on the chicken alone.
Chicken thighs with a ridiculously crisp skin, ten heat levels that mean business, and a burger program that's equally serious. Owner Dylan Field knows what he's doing.
