After months of planning, my Gourmet On The Go event finally became a reality!
Piaggio on Wheels, Crepes Bonaparte, Dos Chinos, Tropical Shave Ice and Oh For Sweets Sake came to serve the people, and OC PARKS made it all possible by helping me with the local permits and venue.
Piaggio had his Milanesa Caballo and Egg over fries, and the Asparagus quesadilla as his main specials, and Dos Chinos wowed the crowd with the carne over garlic fries.
Oh for Sweets Sake sold out within an hour (didn’t even get a photo!), and Crepes had a line a mile long. Even Tropical Shave Ice ran out of cups and spoons at the end of the event.
Three people tried out for the Nutella eating contest, and it took about 15 minutes for the winner to finish the 20 oz jar. Great event… Thank you to the foodies and GFTS!

| Heirloom tomato soup w/ grilled cheese |
 |
| Chicken noodle soup w/ corn bread |
I don’t know what is wrong with me, but normally I don’t get sick. Hmm, maybe it’s just me getting old (er) but my tummy was acting up again.
This morning we went to the OC GREAT PARK for brunch. Martin and Karen went for crepes while on I got a potato & sun dried frittata from Barcelona onthego.
Later that evening, we went to Calvary church in Santa Ana. Martin went for sliders, Karen went for empenadas, and I went for The Lime Truck’s tomato heirloom soup and grilled cheese and I also got a second soup (chicken noodle) from Oh For Sweets Sake.

| The inside of a Dirty Dawg |
Normally I am not a hot dog kind of gal. Today, I was really craving Taco Dawg’s Dirty Dawg, an all beef dog topped with chili, cheese, crumbled potato chips and onion rings. It was worth driving to Garden Grove, despite me getting lost returning back to work.

| Osso Bucco |
 |
| Duck salad |
I never take for granted that every Wednesday that I can find a food truck gathering on Teller.
Today was an extra special treat for two reasons:
1) it was a gorgeous sunny California day and
2) I get to have lunch with my sister
Ok, ok, too sappy. Today Piaggio had Osso Bucco over rice on special, and Barcelona had a Duck pomegranate salad… Perfect for sharing!

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.
