Trucks: Where to get it on–the–go
Bui’s Lunch Truck Opens at 7 a.m. 38th and Spruce Average Price: $5 Best bet: The Hangover Special ($6): sausage, ham, bacon, egg and cheese on a hoagie with a Gatorade. Good for: Savory breakfast–lovers. And curing even the worst hangover.
La Dominique’s Creperie Opens at 11 a.m. 33rd and Market Average Price: $6 Best bet: The Breakfast Crepe ($5.75), with scrambled eggs, onion, tomato and sausage topped with a sweet and spicy pineapple/habanero sauce and cheddar cheese. Good for: Those who like it sweet. La Dominique's got the best crepes on campus. Sorry, Houston.
Fruit Truck Opens at 7 a.m. 34th and Spruce Average Price: $5 Best bet: A medium fruit salad ($4) is more than enough, and paying an extra dollar to customize your fruit choice is worth it. Good for: Beginners. If you're not used to eating breakfast, a cup of fruit may be easier to deal with than something heavier, like pancakes.
