Boo-kies – Burlington Vermont (Church Street)
So if you’re on Church Street in Burlington, hankering for a Philly Steak and can’t make it to Tommy’s City Grill, where are you going to go? The answer lies in a food cart, named “Boo-kies”. Thankfully due to having a roof over his head, he was available just after a rainstorm while other food carts were no where to be seen.
Boo-kies – Philly Cheese Steak
The default configuration of the Philly Cheese Steak comes with the traditional Cheez Wiz (wit Wiz).
Boo-kies – Philly Cheese Steak (American-Swiss cheese)
I prefer my philly’s with real cheese, Boo-kies told me they had “Swiss-American” which they use on their burgers. The meat was frozen, but nicely marbled, so I suspect this may be the semi-traditional shaved Ribeye Steak. Onions, green AND red peppers, and finally a decent roll, that was slightly toasted with some butter on the grill.
At $4.75 the Philly is a little pricey considering it’s half of a full sub, but it’s one of the better cheese steaks around town. I recommend waiting more than 2-3mins to eat it, as you will burn you mouth as I did. I also hear the burgers are awesome (the hotdogs are not bad). Food carts are cash only of course.

yea bookies is mediocre and deffinately not worth the 4 or 5 bucks hes charging for a puny burger. If burlington was a real city therwe would be more competition in these types of food . unfortunately this is the only burger stand. your best bet would be to go the kebab stand or ahli babas open till 5 your 5 bucks will go alot further
