Beast is a new food truck based in the Irvington neighborhood. It specializes in gourmet and specialty burgers, with a focus on local ingredients. As I approached the big yellow truck, it became clear that Beast is something unique, with a Nintendo 64 set up right in front of the truck and a copy of “Mario Kart” ready to go. I was greeted by Casey, one of the owners of Beast and an alumnus of the University of Indianapolis. After a few minutes of talking with him, it became clear that there is a lot of passion invested in the truck, and this passion extends to the food. The menu is a mix of classic burgers and a few more interesting options, all created with quality ingredients. I went with a unique burger, the Game Changer. Chinese five spice seasoning, Asian slaw and cookie butter top off this burger, creating an interesting mix of sweet and spicy. It was a great burger, and it’s clear why this truck has quickly made a name for itself in such a short time.
