I recently just saw the documentary about several people who are dumped in the Alaskan wilderness and where forced to hunt and gather all their food while they tried to find their way to civilization. They were given a shot gun and hunted down anything that moved from squirrels to porcupines, it made me love and appreciate the person who invented the grocery store.
On Monday a friend of mine told me about this southern BBQ mobile food truck in the Los Angeles Area. And that it is as good my grandmother’s cooking. Only problem, where the heck is this truck? It’s not like a restaurant; it’s a moving target that doesn’t stay put. It’s a restaurant on wheels, changing locations daily if not every few hours. You might as well have dropped me in the middle of Alaska with a gun, since finding a moving vehicle in LA is like finding a normal animal to shot in the Alaskan wilderness.
There seems to be a craze lately with these mobile food vendors. There not like those uniform “Roach Coaches” you find in the industrial side of town. But I have to admit that I had the best breakfast burrito from a “Roach Coach.” Today these mobile food trucks have gone gourmet on us, popping up outside movie theaters, high rise business centers, and the beach. If you find them you can get everything from vegan meals, Italian fare, Korean Tacos, to Foie Gras? Every great food culture has street vendors, maybe this is ours.
So before I drive around LA like a bad women, I decided to search the internet for this so called BBQ truck. Low and be hold I found a website that helps us find these gourmet meals on wheels in the LA area. By following the twittes of all the food trucks you can find out that the BBQ truck is in San Monica on Pennsylvania Avenue today. So if you want to know where the Philly sandwich truck is or the Korean Taco truck is tomorrow visit this website to find your next gourmet meal on wheels.
