Wrap City Food Cart Review

 

Wrap City is owned by Husband and Wife Eric and Jessica Thomason.  You can always find their bright yellow cart located in Kesey Square, Monday through Friday from 11am to 2pm.  There is no current plans to expand hours into the weekends.  Wrap City has a 4.9 out of 5 star rating on facebook with 33 reviews and 507 likes.  They have been in operation since April 9th, 2012.  For the first 8 months Jessica was the sole operator and Eric would come in and help close due to having a second job.  I got a chance to sit down and interview Eric and here was some of the things he had to say:

Davis Family Reviews: What would you like your customers to know about yourself and Wrap City?

Eric: We are successful and love what we do because we stay true to ourselves, spending time as husband and wife, as well as give back to the community.  We love what we do.  I am very creative as a chef.  

Davis Family Reviews: You guys give to different Charities, correct?

Eric:  We do.  It is a local charity mostly.  This month is Special Olympics in honor of my twin Sister.  We have picked a charity to donate to every month since we opened.  The size of the check isn't much, just a couple hundred dollars but it is a way to give back to the community and build relationships. 

Davis Family Reviews: Being downtown, you see lots of people.  What is your most popular dish?

Eric:  The Thai Dye is the first I would mention.  With summer being in, the Despot is a hit.  And I would also say our noodle bowls.

Davis Family Reviews: Despite the name of your food truck, a lot of your dishes are noodle and rice based.  Can you explain that?"

Eric: It's because of an expansion of the menu.  When we started we had 3 wraps with a wrap of the week.  There was a couple salad bowls but nothing as elaborate as we sell today.  Our menu is created by our customers.  We experiment and if they like it, it stays on the menu.  The name of our cart is just for fun.  We like to have fun.  Our ingredients are at least 60% ORGANIC from the cabbage we use and the romaine lettuce.  The chicken is all white meat chicken.  

Davis Family Reviews:  Everything on your menu is well priced in this economy.  Everything is $5.00 and under.

Eric: Correct.  We do that for good reason.  Everyone is doing the best they can these days and I always believed in a $5.00 lunch.

I was able to sample their food which included two of the current popular dishes: The Thai Dye and The Teriyaki Bowl.  Everything was amazing with just the right amount of ingredient to sauce ratio.  The presentation of the food was inviting as well as the smell and taste of it.  Below are some other people's comment's on Wrap City (Taken from the Facebook Page of Wrap City)

"I'm so inspired by this couple. They service is wonderful, the food is made with love and you can really see how much these owners love what they do. Every month they donate part of those proceeds to local non-profit organizations.
The food is great too!"

So next time you are in Downtown Eugene, head on down to Kesey Square and see Eric and Jessica at Wrap City.  You will be most glad you did.
