I'm sure this seems weird, but it's not the actual medical center that has the great food. Every weekday, 11-2 there are no less than 5 food trucks parked on the Tulane Ave side of the medical center, and the selection ranges from healthy smoothies and salads to BBQ to the best Thai food in the city.
