Techy Snacks

Classic molten chocolate cake ice cream sandwiched
between a vegan chcocolate truffle banana cookie and
a gluten-free coconut almond cookie.

Although the combination of food and technology may not sound so appetizing, Coolhaus, offering gourmet ice cream sandwiches, may make you think otherwise. While the food truck craze is nothing new, the abundance of instantaneous deals offered by the trucks' own websites, twitter accounts and other food sites, such as Eater.com, are motivating to try the newest treats. I made my foray into this technological food craze in my search for a cool snack in midtown the other day. The Coolhaus food truck often tweets secret passwords that allow customers 50 cents off their purchase. Discovering the secret password of the day, I headed over the food truck. The menu offers creative ice cream flavors from butterscotch and rosemary candied bacon to the classic molten chocolate cake sandwiched in between the edible wrapper of a choice of cookies ranging from vegan chocolate truffle banana cookies to snickerdoodles. The flavors alone are enough to draw people from their offices for a midday snack, but a secret password for a deal makes it an irresistible indulgence.
