UPDATE: I made it to the Restaurant Week truck when it made its debut on Fifth Avenue!

The Butternut Squash Soup from Charlie Palmer’s Metrazur was my selection.  It was good, with a little surprise of pumpkin seeds, however, not the best I have tasted, so, on a yum scale, the soup gets yummm.  Three m’s.  Five m’s is the absolute best.  BTW, how cute are the little tables for you to eat on the go!
