So What’s the Catch?
‘Tis the season to be thankful and for giving, and since you know how we roll, this whole shindig is our little holiday pressie to hundreds of LA kids who may otherwise not find any gifts under the tree. Aside from having an awesome time, we’ll be collecting toys for our local Toys for Tots!

#1. A printed ticket with your name and matching ID.
(Yes, you can bring a date, just see #2.)

#2. An unwrapped toy for donation to Toys for Tots.

OMG, Food Trucks have gone mainstream!

Wow, food trucks have indeed gone main stream!! I received a tweet from the Auto Club of So cal who wanted to share a write up on LA food trucks being featured in this month’s Auto Club News. 

Click this link to read the article on the “newer” trucks you can find in the greater LA area.  Too bad they didn’t interview Orange County Foodies to represent the OC!

Auto club also interviewed the one who started it all
The @KogiBBQ owner, Roy Choi.

This weekend: The Beach Gives Back: Heal the Bay!
