Miracle Mile: Pranzo, Flatiron Truck

It’s Memorial Day, and we were hungry.  Karen and I decided to drive an hour from OC to hunt down food trucks at the infamous Miracle Mile off Wilshire Blvd.

We found about six trucks parked near the La Brea Tar Pits, and  I selected Flatiron  and ordered their signature flatiron steak with potatoes & arugula, while Karen went to Pranzo and picked the Prosciutto (italian ham) sandwich.
