Celebtastic Weekend

// July 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // Events, Fun

What a weekend! First of all, the LA Food Fest was a huge success! Our Miso Beef Skewers were such a big hit, we ran out of food the first 2 hours of the event.

Hope some of you were able to try it! Amongst all of our beautiful fans, we rubbed elbows with a few of our new friends.

LA Lakers legendary Elgin Baylor loves his Asian Marinated Chicken Burrito, it’s a slam dunk in his book.

Our Forth of July was filled with fun memories, new friends, awesome tacos, sno cones, fireworks and hot dogs. It doesn’t get any better that that. Truck 1 celebrated with over 10,000 people at the fantastic Hansen Dam’s annual fireworks spectacular. Our crew crank out hundreds of Komodo special edition hot dogs, alongside stellar gourmet trucks- Frysmith, King Kone and more. It was such a fun group. Our Truck 2 got real lucky, rubbing elbows with the celebs at a spectacular private event nestled in the beautiful Hollywood Hills. We had such an awesome time, we didn’t want to leave!
