Back to food trucks.<\/p>\n
I did not go to the Grilled Cheese Truck but I always like the Grilled Cheese Truck. \u00a0I’m trying to eat better and fatty melty dairy between two bits of carb that’s been buttered…not the best meal. \u00a0But if you ever find yourselves where the Grilled Cheese Truck is an option, I recommend trying them. \u00a0Don’t forget the tater tots!<\/p>\n
Can you believe this was my first time at a Kogi BBQ Truck? \u00a0I know there’s like four trucks that roam around and I always credit them with being behind the LA Food Truck scene. \u00a0Just somehow I’ve never found myself at the same place as a Kogi Truck or if I was, I was actually there for another truck and didn’t get around to trying it. \u00a0Since I was hoping to eat at more than just one truck I limited my order to just a short rib taco and a chicken taco. \u00a0You know the kind, a small little soft tortilla with a bunch of chopped meat and lettuce on top. \u00a0I probably could have eaten five? \u00a0Maybe more? \u00a0I’m going to recommend you try Kogi.<\/p>\n
The Lobsta Truck was there and I had a lobsta roll with mayo and it was good as always. \u00a0The Lobsta Truck is reliable for having good lobster and I have to stay true to my vow: \u00a0I will not go out of my way to go to the Lobsta Truck. \u00a0I never want to get to the point where I have it so much it becomes less magical. \u00a0The Lobsta Truck is my absolute favorite source of lobster rolls and as I like to say they often are better than seafood I get at restaurants.<\/p>\n
Now I did get a sample from the nice man at the Ragin’ Cajun truck. \u00a0Tried the garlic sauce. \u00a0Was pretty good, but I was still getting a feel for what was out there and I didn’t really want to fill my stomach with a helping of gumbolaya. \u00a0And I don’t think I could stop from ordering a fried shrimp po boy… and I just have this weakness for cajun and it would have ended up with me at the gym trying to work it all off. \u00a0Instead I see on their website that not only are they looking to open a new restaurant out in Hermosa Beach but they also are going to launch a quickserve restaurant. \u00a0Hopefully that will be closer to me. \u00a0Because really the only restaurant I drive out that far for is Lahaina…<\/p>\n
Also I had a black cherry sorbetto at Palazzolo’s Artisan Gelato & Sorbetto truck. \u00a0Yes, it contained bits of cherry. \u00a0No it wasn’t creamy … because I’m lactose intolerant and I can choose food that doesn’t lead to regret. \u00a0It was nice on this very sunny Saturday.<\/p>\n
I will also mention the My Delight CupCakery truck. I did not try this, but I do want to try their breakfast cupcake. \u00a0It’s like a pancake cupcake with bacon. \u00a0Bacon inside of it and bacon on top and it kinda sounds brilliant so hopefully at some point I will get the chance to try this.<\/p>\n
And then I also saw Nonna’s Kitchenette and I didn’t try it but heaven knows I have a fondness for italian food. \u00a0Something tells me the hand rolled risotta balls are great. \u00a0And I’m not sure but a peanut butter, raspberry and prosciutto sandwich sounds like something I have to try. \u00a0Afterwards I will either herald it as a revelation or …not.<\/p>\n
Lastly I want to say it was nice seeing Youngblood Hawke there. \u00a0I managed to go hours without mentioning to anyone that the band is named after a Herman Wouk book that I started but is very thick and unavailable on my Sony Reader (well I haven’t checked this month). \u00a0Soon they’re going to hear the sound the sound as we come running….<\/p>\n

<\/a>I got a free bag with admission. \u00a0I left it in the trunk of my car. \u00a0I came to the realization that even though I don’t really need a bag, sometimes I do. \u00a0I live in Pasadena where stores don’t give out plastic bags and I never remember to have sufficient bags with me when I go to the market. \u00a0I’m hoping that I will be able to use this for groceries and it will be helpful and useful and I don’t forget to bring it with me. \u00a0If wishes were horses…<\/em><\/p>\n
