Food Trucks

So I guess food trucks are pretty popular in LA now days. I have read about them at Serious Eats, a blog about food, which I love. They make awesome, gourmet food, not day old burritos and hot dogs.

Well, my husband and I were going to LA this past weekend for a friends birthday party. Yes, we party like rockstars, LA and back in one weekend. We left Saturday morning, which is a great time to drive in LA. Not as much traffic. WE got down there a little after 1pm, lunch time. Instead of stopping at Jack in the Box, we held out to save our appetites. We looked online to where some of these famous food trucks would be and found a group in North Hollywood. There were around 8-10 different trucks, all different cuisines. Burgers, Hawaiian shave ice, Vietnamese, tacos, peruvian, etc. It felt like a farmers market. All kind of people hanging out, eating and enjoying the 80 degree weather.
We decided to try this place called frysmith. I was adventurous and ordered the kimchi fries. They were awesome! The actual fries were yummy, not too salty, crunchy on the outside. Mine was topped with kimchi, onions, kurobuta pork belly, cheddar cheese and scallions. Then I topped it with sriracha sauce. It was different but awesome. So yummy! I wish I could have tried one on everything on the menu. I love food and trying new and exciting things. I only wish they had some of these awesome food trucks in Nor Cal!

Is it sad that I live in So Cal and still have not been to LA? I've been avoiding. Maybe someday I'll get up the courage and spunk and make a trip over there.
