The farmers market at The Great Park was not very busy today. Then again, it was a rather dreary day with a chance of rain.
Martin and Karen went for Crepes Bonaparte while I went for Barcelona onthego’s Spanish frittata consisting of potato, sun dried tomatoes & artichoke hearts, the Spanish french toast and a side of fried eggs.
After brunch, Karen and I went to Cypress for Shave Ice and to support a Toms shoes

I won tickets to the CHOC event held at Knotts Berry Farm (see flyer in my event page). There were two trucks I’ve never tried, Tornado Potato and Rolling Sushi & Yogurt Van.
I started off with my favorite Greasy Weiner, and Martin picked up the Rolling Ball, a spicy tuna & crab inside an edible soy paper cup. He also ordered the Rainbow Roll which also came with edemame, salad & soup. A lady next to us ordered the spicy tuna roll, which liked delish.
While Martin ate his sushi, I went to Tornado Potato and Surfer Taco Co. Finally we ended our day at Chomp Chomp Nation. We bumped into @sidelinepunk in line and he ordered the Singapore sloppy joe & the S’mores. Martin ordered the Kaya French Toast, and I ordered the Crispy Shrimp and the Crab Shooter.

On Friday, a bunch of LA & OC trucks were at the Speedway in the city of Industry.
I had a Ducks game before the food event, and went after…Â arriving at 10: 00 pm.
Most of the trucks were shut down or were running out of food. We stopped by Lake Street Creamery where Karen got a scoop of Holiday chocolate, and Martin got the California Zephyr. Unfortunately I’m lactose intolerant, so I went to Tropical Shave ice for my melona. Martin also picked up a bahn mi from Madeline Grill.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited a Gourmet truck… Two days, I think?
Tonight, Crepes Bonaparte partnered up with Piaggio & Calbi bbq at “Attic” in Buena Park. The special tonight was the Osso Bucco, and I also picked up the Pork sliders.
Karen went to Crepes and ordered the Ham & Egg crepe, and I got the Butter & Sugar crepe. Christian tried something new by using foil to package the crepe. It was more pretty than practical.
While eating at Buena Park, Karen & I decided it was still early enough to make a trip to Carson to get a Halo Halo from Tropical Shave Ice. I also picked up a container of Matzo soup from Canter’s, which I enjoyed at home.

Free food? Sure! We had a choice of two tacos or a bulgogi cheesesteak sandwich. I opted for the latter and a bottled water.

Costa mesa: Barcelona, Shortstop bbq
 |
| Lentil & Serrano Ham soup |
 |
| Smoked duck w/ creamed corn and fries |
 |
| Pulled pork sliders with creamed corn |
 |
| Tri tip with bleu cheese slaw & chicken with bbq slaw sliders |
There’s one way to get the husband to the mall… Feed him first. Lucky for me there’s a food truck gathering at the SoCo in Costa Mesa. Today Chompchomp, Calbi, Barcelona, Morsels, & Shortstop bbq were there.
It was a sunny day, but just enough chill to order a lentil & ham soup from Barcelona.
I also got the limited Duck plate (sans sauce) plus 2 sides from Shortstop, leaving me too full to grab anything else… Well except a fresh baked cookie from Morsels.
Martin got his usual sliders from Shortstop: tri-tip, chicken & pork.
