Food truck rally!!!

I had the pleasure of recently discovering the Gateway to LA food truck event:

It is every Tuesday from 11 AM until 3 PM in the parking lot behind the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Century Blvd.  I am a big fan of the gourmet food truck concept but too lazy to keep track of when any particular truck is going to be in the area and where to find it.  With this event you just show up on Tuesday for lunch and there is a half dozen trucks to choose from.  If you want to know in advance what is going to be there, you can add the schedule to your Google calender.  When I went I got a Bahn Mi sandwich from the Nom Nom Truck.  It is a spicy Vietnamese sandwich stuffed with succulent grilled pork and pickled vegetables on a wonderful French baguette.  The bread makes or breaks a sandwich and the baguette did not disappoint.

This is a great event and I can't wait to get back!
