Bye bye Bombshelter, HELLO street food trucks

Ever since the great adventure that was the 1st Annual LA Street Food Fest, I've been craving grilled steak banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich)...and after missing my chance with Phamish last week, I was determined to get one from the Nom Nom Truck. While they didn't have grilled steak, their grilled pork banh mi was an amazing alternative. $5 for a 12" sandwich filled with tasty grilled pork, pickled veggies, cilantro and some sauce (mayonnaise, perhaps?)--definitely an experience worth repeating. This was Monday...



...today, I revisited The Grilled Cheese Truck set on trying something a little more adventurous than the last time. So what did I order? The Cheesy Mac and Rib, aka Fully Loaded. $7.50 gets you macaroni and cheese with sharp cheddar, bbq pork and caramelized onions all in between two toasty slices of french bread. Maybe it was because I was so hungry, or maybe it was because it was that good, but regardless, this delicious melt was gone in less than 5 minutes, leaving one content me.

So where can one find these meals on wheels? For myself and those I work with, right on UCLA's south campus (lucky us!). Two trucks are parked at the Court of Sciences every weekday. Got to warn you though, the lines can get pretty long...luckily I have a fairly flexible schedule.
