OC Foodie Fest: Slice Truck
A rare OC appearance by the Slice Truck, who hangs out a USC.
A slice of cheese was $3 and it took up the paper plate. It was a thin crust, hand tossed pizza, and was very delish! I would drive to USC for a slice!!

OC Foodie Fest: The Shrimp Guys
On August 28 the Orange County Register sponsored a huge gourmet truck event at the Honda Center. 49 trucks were parked, 8500+ people attended. The sun was blazing, food was being served, and people were waiting as long as an hour for truck food!
I was lucky and got the VIP package, so for the first 1/2 hour I had only 500 people to compete for 49 trucks. In addition, VIP’s had samples to taste (I am sure the food was also on the normal truck menu), free water and snacks like PopChips and Kind Bars.

Summer 2010: Piaggio, SeaBird, Dos Chinos, Tropical Shave Ice
During the summer my friends and I would dine at the trucks around Orange County, particularly eating Piaggio on Wheels and Crepes Bonaparte.
In August 2010 new trucks started popping up.
Here we are at the Blackmarket Bakery with a few trucks…

Crepes Bonaparte
Since Piaggio, our other favorite gourmet truck has been Crepes Bonaparte.
They were always at the Anaheim Farmer’s Market every Thursday before launching their truck “Gaston”. I don’t recall when the truck was launched but here is the picture of a crepe being made in front of you
