The Taco Dawg invited the media and select fans to their corporate office in Santa Ana to launch their new menu. Many foodies from twitter were there, and it was nice to put a face to a user name. The items they served were the scaled down version but still delicious, and the only item we missed out on was The Hipster.

Eagle Rock: Great Balls on Tire

Duck
Wild Boar
Indian
Pad Thai

As usual, no one was serving dinner on a Sunday in Orange County. Lucky for us, Great Balls on Tire was having a special menu at The Verdugo Bar in Eagle Rock.

After a 45 min drive, we found it in a sketchy part of town. We were greeted by a homeless man peeing on the wall of the entrance.

The special balls were: Duck, Wild Boar, Indian/Bollywood, and Pad Thai.

Anaheim: Ohforsweetssake, Shortstopbbq

Homemade chicken soup loaded full of goodies and love!
Pulled pork sandwich
Tri-tip and chicken sliders
Coco
October 1993-2010

Another cold day, and a sad day. My dog of 17 years had to be put down. She was a good dog, loveable, quiet and obedient, and will be missed.

For such a sad day, we needed comfort food. Ohforsweetssake and Shortstopbbq were at the Anaheim Farmers Market and a bowl of homemade chicken soup with a barbecue slider was perfect.

Angels Stadium has teamed up with gourmet food truck agency, Mobile Food Properties to debut a weekly food truck gathering titled Food Truck Tailgate.

In true tailgate fashion, guests are encouraged to bring their own seating to enjoy lunch with fellow food truck followers & Angels fans. Admission and parking are free to the public.

Irvine: Piaggio, Shortstop Bbq

Brown butter chicken with herbs over butternut squash mashed potatoes
Skirt steak tacos and empendas



beignets from Shortstop BBQ

 There are good and bad points about the Ducks when they are on the road. The good part is it is possible to dine at the food trucks. The bad part is watching the game on Tivo time, and knowing the results before getting home.

The Ducks are in Columbus today, and the game started at 4: 00. By the time I pulled into the Irvine Bowl, the Ducks were down 2-0.

Piaggio had a special browned butter chicken over mashed butternut squash. Martin wanted skirt steak tacos, and Karen wanted empenadas. For dessert, I picked up some beignets from Shortstop Bbq.

Irvine: the Lime Truck, Barcelona onthego

Fried chicken oysters over slaw
Lentil soup with serrano ham

Its another dreary day in the OC. I think I’m coming down with a cold, probably from hanging out in the rain yesterday.

Sadly, when I’m sick, my appetite is down. Today for lunch all I wanted was a bowl of Lentil soup from Barcelona, and an order of Lime Truck’s fried chicken oysters that Martin had yesterday.

Maybe tonight I’ll want a bigger meal.

This evening was wet, cold and rainy. It was also the debut of the Tuesday night Los Alamitos DinDin a Go-Go. The weather did not keep the regulars from getting dinner… Or dessert!

I went to Vizzi truck (who is also a hockey fan) for a serving of their special Spaghetti Carbonara.

Martin went to Lime Truck who were giving out bacon and oreo rice crispy treats. In addition, he got the Fried Chicken Oysters and the Pulled Chicken Sliders.

For dessert, we all got our Tropical Shave Ice!
