CHEESESTEAKS
Indulge in the ultimate taste adventure with our cheesesteaks that pack a punch of flavor in every bite!
Our Smoked Brisket Cheesesteak is a beloved local specialty that has won the hearts of Philadelphians and visitors alike. We use only the finest beef brisket, which is seasoned to perfection with our signature spice rub and smoked in-house for over 12 hours. The result is an incredibly tender and juicy meat full of smoky flavor. We then top it with a medley of sautéed onions and peppers and finish it with a generous drizzle of tangy BBQ sauce, all served on a freshly baked roll.
Our vegan-friendly Cauliflower Cheesesteak is a delicious and wholesome alternative bursting with flavor. We start by grilling fresh cauliflower seasoned with our unique blend of spices, sautéed onions, and peppers. To add a touch of indulgence, we melt vegan cheese on top of the cauliflower and serve it on a soft roll with our housemade remoulade that adds a zesty kick to the dish.
We Need Your Help
FOOD TRUCK IN NEED OF MAJOR REPAIRS
During an event in June 2023, our food truck broke down. We had to spend more than $3,000 on the initial mechanic visit and now require a new engine worth $12,000. However, we are hesitant to replace it as the previous engine didn't last long.
To ensure the long-term success of Brotherly Grub, we are raising $12,000 to invest in a new truck. This will enable us to run our business for a more extended period and with more strength. In addition, we will wrap the truck with our team's name, which will cost $4,200.
Investing in a new truck will not only benefit us but also create job opportunities for students and support local businesses. By contributing to our cause, you can help us overcome the obstacles women business owners face.
Your support will help us create more opportunities for students and future entrepreneurs while also supporting the local economy. Please visit our GoFundMe page to donate and help us get the Brotherly Grub Food Truck running again. Thank you!
