Even when the Austin Daily Press only existed as a food truck, it was already making waves nationwide. The flagship food truck participated as a contestant on the Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race. Its brick-and-mortar location on MLK Boulevard still serves up the same creative sandwiches that won it fans across the country after its stint on the reality show.
According to regulars, the Pineapple Express is well worth a taste. This sandwich is actually a Mexican-style torta, meaning it comes on a Telera roll with veggies pickled in-house and a medley of herbs. The Pineapple Express is layered with roasted chicken and Black Forest ham, a pineapple-ginger chutney, cheese, and spicy ranch dressing. The Lucy torta is another popular option, this one stuffed with lemongrass-braised pork, aioli and sriracha sauce, sweet and hot pickles, onion, cilantro, and cooling mint. However, Austin Daily Press also serves paninis, traditional deli-style sandwiches, and sliders.
If you'd like to try this Austin eatery for yourself, it's just a short trip away from Elan East.
