First Friday

I never thought I would be able to say that I ate food from a food truck! Something about food trucks always seemed dirty and disease filled to me. Well, last Friday one of my good friends, Gloria, asked if Daniel and I wanted to go to "First Friday" with them. I had no idea what she was talking about but a quick google search told me everything I needed to know. Every first Friday of the month in the Santa Monica/Venice area, dozens of food trucks align the sides of this one street and people just stroll up and down eating anything and everything you can imagine. Yelp reviews told us that the most popular food truck was this one: 

A food truck dedicated to nothing but making fabulous grilled cheese sandwiches! Not just your average cheese and bread though. Daniel and James both got their classic "melt' which was loaded with mac and cheese, and pulled bbq rib. They licked their fingers clean and would have gone back for seconds (and probably thirds) if the line wasn't outrageously long! I had a bite and can vouch that it was delicious. Heavy, cheesy, rich, loaded with calories and delicious. They also had fancier sandwiches made with brie cheese and cranberry walnut bread...maybe next time I will starve myself for the day so I can eat that for dinner :)

Gloria and I roamed up and down the street while the boys were in line for their food. There were sooo many trucks to choose from! I wanted to try something different than a hotdog or a hamburger since you can get those anywhere. We came across a Thai food truck that had mango steak wraps that looked amazing on the picture. Sadly they didn't taste as good as they looked and we were kinda wishing we had spent the 8 dollars on something/anything else. Regardless though it was a ton of fun and I recommend it to anyone in the LA area! It is definitely one of those only-in-LA moments which don't come around too often. We are going to try and do more city-like things this year while we are still around. Who knows where we will be next!

Fun night!
