Huevos y papas
Churros y chocolate

Hurley clothing company was having their Family & Friends sale and invited Shortstop, Barcelona, and Longboards ice cream.

I woke up with a massive headache (still have one) so my appetite was not quite there, and all I wanted was a light lunch.

I had the jamon y melon over baby greens with an order of bacon wrapped dates. Martin had the huevos y papas (egg & fries). For dessert, Barcelona treated us to warm churros drizzled in chocolate, to celebrate 1000 followers on facebook.

Anaheim: Shortstop BBQ

No longer naked!
Tri tip and pulled pork sliders
Sliced pork loin sandwich

There was a larger truck gathering in Irvine, but we wanted to support Shortstop BBQ at the Anaheim’s Farmers Market.

We arrived a little after 6, chatted with Andrew and found out they were busy at lunch (horray!). They were also running out of food, and they still had another stop at The Atomic Ballroom.

Here’s a better picture of the newly wrapped truck, tri-tip (left) and pulled pork sliders, sliced pork loin sandwich.

The newest truck on the street, Burnt Truck was at the OC TRUCK SUMMIT today. When I arrived at 11: 35, the line was 20 + people deep.

Anna ran off to Lime, Dan Dan and Barcelona and I was still at Burnt. It took about a half hour to order, and here are the photos.

New posting format

Leave a comment

I finally entered the 20th century and got myself a “smart” phone!
 
My “not-so-smart” phone was ok, but it wasn’t allowing me to post real time and with good quality pictures.  Well, the old photos were not bad at all.  I’m looking at the Long Beach Fest and for an old phone, the Nom Nom truck came out pretty good. 

Now, I can now post from my new Droid, which will have the photos of the food first, and then a quick comment or description of the venue.  I think that format is better since you’re here to see the food, not read my babble, right??

I really am happy with the quality of the new pictures, and how detailed it is.  I hope you are enjoying it too!

Costa mesa: Ragin Cajun, Morsels, Tropical shave ice

The Bakery Truck tweeted they were going to be at the Fairgrounds, but did not make the connection the Orange County Swap Meet was held there every weekend.   Parking was free but it cost $ 2 to get in.

It was easy to find the trucks and we spotted RAGIN CAJUN, truck  from The Great Food Truck Race. Besides Cajun, Morsels (@BakeryTruck), Tropical Shave Ice and Fresh Fries were there.

Yorba Linda: White Rabbit

Leave a comment

The White Rabbit posted they were going to be in Yorba Linda/ Placentia today.  After work, I had Karen meet me at the Wells Fargo on Rose Street, and we found the truck waiting, without a line!  We thought for sure there would be people waiting, but earlier there was a mix up on the address, and I wonder if that was the reason there was no line. The original address was still on their web site, and you had to read the latest tweet to find out the new location.

Wow, 15 minutes til opening and no line?
