We tried the Lobsticle, Tower of Tuna, Major Crunchy (grilled bream fish topped with crunchy chips), and the raspberry limeaid.

We also stopped at Swinging Kitchen, and picked up the Sirloin Lettuce wrap and the Perfect Tofu Lettuce wrap, and the Banana Split S’mores.

Leave a comment
Today I took a newbie to the OC Fair to try an Orange County food truck. I started him off at Piaggio on wheels where we selected the Pulled Pork over chimichurri rice, the Skirt Steak over fries, and the chicken & caprese empanadas.

Then I took him to Dos chinos and picked up the Oahu Shrimp taco and the Bolsa Pork Bellies taco.

For dessert we went to Tropshaveice, and he got a snow capped shave ice.
