On Wednesdays, trucks are now converging to Irvine at Teller and Michelson for the “OC Truck Summit”.  On this day, Barcelona on the Go, The Lime Truck, Piaggio on Wheels, Crepes Bonaparte, Oh For Sweets Sake! cupcakes, SeaBirds Truck, Dos Chinos and DanDanBBQ were at this gathering.  I met my sister for lunch (as she works across the street) and we shared a few items

After Kogi, we went to downtown Fullerton to find the Tropical Shave Ice truck. They were officially closed (they had to get to Irvine) but were nice and let us place our 2 orders!

Still a line for Kogi (view from my car)
After Foodie Fest, I thought about the one who started it all: Kogi BBQ.  I found out they were going to be in Fullerton on August 31, so after work we went searching for dinner.

Tasty as always

A rare OC appearance by the Slice Truck, who hangs out a USC.
A slice of cheese was $3 and it took up the paper plate. It was a thin crust, hand tossed pizza, and was very delish!  I would drive to USC for a slice!!

OC Foodie Fest: The Shrimp Guys

On August 28 the Orange County Register sponsored a huge gourmet truck event at the Honda Center.   49 trucks were parked, 8500+ people attended. The sun was blazing, food was being served, and people were waiting as long as an hour for truck food!

I was lucky and got the VIP package, so for the first 1/2 hour I had only 500 people to compete for 49 trucks. In addition, VIP’s had samples to taste (I am sure the food was also on the normal truck menu), free water and snacks like PopChips and Kind Bars.

The Garlic Shrimp Plate is.. garlickY!
