Yesterday we had dinner at home, so tonight we went to Lake Forest for the Tuesday “South County Bowling Gallery” gathering.
Crepes Bonaparte, Seabirds, Taco Dawg, Chunk n chip, Dan Dan, and
Barcelona onthego were there.
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.

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.

The REI in Santa Ana (off the 5/ 55 freeways & McFadden) is having a big sale, and also parked there was Piaggio and Tropical Shave Ice. It was also such a nice day that Anna and I had to stop by for lunch.

After work I went to get my hair cut, and told Martin to fend for himself. He went to the Anaheim’s Farmers Market and got sliders from Shortstop BBQ, and stopped at Oh For Sweets Sake. OFSS was selling homemade chicken soup, and had tweeted me earlier she would save me a bowl. My appointment was too far, so I told her I would not make it. Lucky for me, Martin was able to bring home a bowl with a piece of sweet bread.

I can’t believe that today is all sunny and gorgeous, compared to yesterday’s dreary and wet day. I went to the OC Fairgrounds with my coworker Sheila and got food from Barcelona ontheGo, Morsel’s Bakery Truck, and Piaggio on Wheels.

It was raining all day today, and most of the Gourmet Food Trucks took the day off. The Lime Truck and Dos Chinos stepped up and serviced the people for lunch and dinner. Tonight, they went to the Atomic Ballroom, even though the “OC DinDin a Go-Go” was officially cancelled. In addition Short Stop BBQ came for dinner.
Martin had dinner at Dos Chinos and Short Stop, while Karen and I had dinner at The Lime Truck. I really wanted Lime’s Grilled Mac & Cheese sandwich, but when I got to the front, they sold out. Lucky @Lesliepinoc was one of the lucky ones….

THANK YOU to Crepes Bonaparte for coming to Santa Ana to help with the United Way Kick Off rally. Even though it was pouring rain, the people came out for the food. It wasn’t a spectacular turnout, but considering the circumstances, I think we did pretty well!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

A new gourmet truck launched and I caught up with Short Stop BBQ in Santa Ana’s Artist Village. The truck has not been wrapped yet, so while I was waiting in the cold rain, a kept seeing a bland white truck go up and down Sycamore and 3rd street.
Finally I flagged the truck down and asked (Andrew) “Are you the Barbecue truck”? It was!
