Zach and I are in Irvine dining from the Gourmet Food Trucks. Good Times!
Don't know if you have Food Trucks in your town, but these Gourmet Traveling Diners are really fun. I lived in Portland, Oregon for a Summer - one of the first places in America to relax their laws enough to permit such things on a permanent basis - and loved these little gems. But while in Portland, the truck sit on the same downtown block all the time, in other places, Orange County included, they travel to a different parking lot every night. Even after checking the Internet to see who will be there, there are still some surprises. Last night there was a Lobster Truck and a Cupcake Truck, which were new to us, and seven other which weren't.

Wow, I wish we had a lime truck around here. Looks interesting, not something we are familiar with.
ReplyDeleteI love the Lime Truck, myself. Great Burritos with Guacamole. And a Coconut Lime Cupcake for dessert (from the Cupcake Truck, but keeping with the theme.
ReplyDeleteYou have to have the right set of laws to allow for them in your town and most places don't. (I still don't buy Seafood from them, just in case.)
Lots of food truck in the Bay Area. There are designated spots but there are also traveling trucks. I must admit that I have only bought food from them once or twice. A cupcake truck sounds like fun.

A lobster truck and a cupcake truck .. Ours only have pizzas of the most basic kind !x
ReplyDeleteI would be right there with the lobster truck. We don't do enough of these things as the kids get tired of the lines - but I can't see any lines there! I wish they would travel around our town with BBQ as i would buy from them every night.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting concept! We don't have those here in Australia at all :)
ReplyDeleteHi Darla - They are such fun and less expensive than similar food at an actual restaurant. The cupcakes were splendid.
ReplyDeleteHi SB - The food truck concept is great in places where cars are depended and you can follow the trucks. But Paris, like Portland, relies on public transportation, so the stalls can stay in the same place. (Am I the only person who sees quite a few similarities between these two cities?)
ReplyDeleteHi Jody - I do love good Barbecue. It's the one joy of Tulsa food. I don't think you can find bad Barbecue.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn - Not something I see in Tulsa either, but a fun thing to do if you visit the Western US.
