Did. You know today is National Food Truck Day. And what better way to celebrate than kicking off our summer Friday Food Truck Friday series. We are excited to do that. However, if we keep sending Lisa sell out there, she's going to be totally caffeinated. Totally jacked up. She's gonna be able to get back in the studio. She'll be bouncing off the walls with rambling coffee. I already am Terry because this is definitely a perk of the job being in this truck. I'm calling this Java Junction where coffee meets the road. The owner of this truck, Brian Lati is here to help us get even more caffeinated. We have already tried your signature and delicious drink. So what do you have for us this time? So next we're making the maple macha latte. OK. Let's get to the nice and green, right? Delicious. Ready to go. Then you just add some maple syrup. You put me to work, not just flat, nice. What you want? It's OK. A little spin, a little um little oat milk up about midway into the sticker. Tell me when to stop. All the way to the sticker is key, right? Ok, perfect. All right. Then just ice it up. You just move this over, ice it in there, ice it up. Ok. Spill a lot in here then pop it right in the sea. OK. I get to do the sea. Ok. Let's see if I can do it. Ok. And you just press the middle button right here. All right. Look at that in action. All right. And then we're good to go. Um, you also obviously have traditional coffee as well. So why don't you take us through that? She knows the hot coffee, the latte. Let's do that together through the espresso shot in here for time's sake. And then we're just gonna steam a little milk right here. What's your most popular drink? I know you're from White Plains. You're a local, what's your most popular drink? Um, I would say just the traditional good hot latte in the winter and then pretty much all year round. Is that ramble you had in the beginning? That's, that's sort of, uh, you know, our most popular, whether it's 10 degrees out or 110 degrees out. Yeah, I know there's some people that are already getting their orders in as well today they want a latte, they want a regular coffee. It's looking good. So once this is all nice and hot and foamy, you just pour it right in. Right. Right. So talk to us about where you're going to be this weekend. All right. So this weekend, 4th July weekend we're going to be at Tamra Country Club in Greenwich. Um, we usually do jobs like that. It's not, uh, you've been on movie sets too yesterday. We were set up in Newburgh this summer will be at Playland. The weekends it really varies. Yeah, it's always, it's always an experience. Yeah. So, if you see the truck, please come and say hi to Brian and his crew because this is really just an amazing place to be. We do really appreciate it. Now, Tara, I know that you do not drink coffee. So the folks here at the coffee truck brought you something very special. I can't bring any coffee because I know you're expecting. But look, wow, if I wasn't already born a rambling man or woman, now I am, I am on board 100% awesome. Thank you guys so generous.

We might have mentioned it once or twice, but today is National Food Truck Day. And what better way to celebrate than by kicking off our new summer series Food Truck Fridays. We are so excited to have one of those trucks outside our studio right now. Rambling coffee where hopefully they said they're putting you to work. Yes, they are. Tara and I am currently in Java Junction where Coffee meets the road and the owner of Rambling Coffee is here with me, Brian. You're going to talk about first your signature drink because you can't find this anywhere else. Right? That's true. It's the Rambler Sea Salt latte sealed up, mixed together kind of unique. It's, it's not cream on the top uh as a garnish, it's actually part of the recipe, actually part of the recipe. Ok. So let's get to that recipe before we taste it. So take us over to how you create this concoction and why it's so special. You say uh you were out on the west coast, you saw some salted cream and you brought it here, right? Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty popular coffee drink. The the salted caramel latte but there's a lot of different versions of it and this version is kind of the best and that's why we have the Sealer on here in the truck to mix everything up. Because you know, that's what kind of brought me into coffee in the first place was. There was a need for iced coffee. It was very old and stale and always a need for iced coffee. Ok, let's talk about how you create it. So you got your coffee here and then you pour coffee is the coffee. Then we put one with cream in it this way. Add a little bit of chocolate on top. Gotta have the chocolate that back over here to the sea. OK? So they have this special sealer. So that means when we're driving in the car running around with the kids, it is not going to spill, right? OK. Show us how this cool machine works. Look at that ready to rock and then in just a few seconds, the coffee is sealed and all you need is a straw, right? OK. Give me a straw so I can taste this while you tell me a little bit more about your coffee truck. Your from white planes. How you got started? Um Yeah, I mean like I said there was a need, there was a need. Oh you gotta use the sharp sharp end. OK. Go ahead. OK. Right. So what brought me into? It was a need a need for a better ice coffee drink. Also a need to kind of get out of my current rut and, and go out on my own and start something, start something new. So I, I kept working on my, my day job pay the bills, started working at different coffee shops at night. Um different business models. It was a Taiwanese shop. I worked at a more artisanal shop, just kind of learning the ropes. After a couple of years of that, I decided shop time or times. So truck time. So what other things do you have in this truck that people can get their, their hands and taste buds on? Sure. I mean, we have, it's like everything you get at a coffee shop. It's a espresso bar and wheel. So we have espresso machine, we have iced coffee drinks, you get ice latte pretty much anything you want. And the important part is that you just have to stab this right. Stab it and enjoy. Exactly. I love it. Shake it and stab it. All right. So coming up in the next hour, we're going to be back here with you. What do you think you're going to make for us this time? I think we'll try the maple match a lot. You cannot wait. Sounds absolutely delicious. Perfect for today. Matt. Thankfully, the weather is holding out no rain or anything to worry about as I enjoy this delicious lat. No, but with the warmth, the humidity into the afternoon. Nothing better than an ice, ice cold coffee. Right.
