I have just recently discovered an incredibly delicious cheese steak up near Chaplin, Connecticut. There's a van parked on the side of route 6, it's plugged into a truck with a generator and you would never know it's there.

This place is called Hideaway Steaks and Stuff and it's run by two guys, one seems to do the business while the other is the cook. I've never had a real Philly cheese steak, let's make that clear right now. However, this is by far the best cheesesteak I've ever had, and at the very least competes with everywhere else I've tried in Connecticut.

They also have some other solid things on the menu, but there's about six things total and then hosmer soda.

Highly recommend this place to anybody who likes cheese steaks, they also offer them in chicken and mushroom.

Please tip well.

LOL was totally expecting this comment. No I'm actually not, I've got a new job in the area and googled food nearby and it was the closest thing to come up...

Turns out they're really nice guys though and the cook actually got in a bad accident the first day I was there, so now I'm emotionally invested.

Most importantly, it's been a month and I've eaten there three times already....try the hot dog too!

Had to google Chaplin, no idea it was a town in CT.

Also it looks like is a literal van and not a food truck.

Literally middle of nowhere hahaha. And he's it's a VAN not a food truck this is a converted vehicle. I imagine it does move, but they don't.
