Here are a few snapshots from the 1st Annual Los Angeles Street Food Fest
$2 Mini Grilled Steak Banh Mi from Phamish-I have to admit, the first thing I did after taking this picture was remove the pepper slices, but other than that, the grilled steak was very flavorful and I wanted to go back for seconds, but there were so many more trucks ahead...
$2 Housemade Cake Donut Bites and $3 Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Pancake Bites from Buttermilk. For the first 30+ min line of the day, these breakfast treats were pretty good. The Donut Bites were nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, but a little too oily to eat more than one. The Red Velvet Pancakes were a surprise treat with the cream cheese frosting on the side--I might have to try making this in my own kitchen, since I don't really like paying $3 for 3 silver dollar-sized pancakes.
$3 Plain and Simple Melt on French bread with American Cheese, Bacon and Tomato from The Grilled Cheese Truck. Okay, so I didn't go for any of the fancy choices, but hey, I'm not that adventurous with cheese, and I like bacon. My friends waited in this line while I was at Buttermilk, and when I met up with them, we waited for at least another 20 minutes. Was it worth it? Maybe not for my plain Jane choice of sandwich, but maybe for the other specialty grilled cheese options...I can't say for sure.
$2.50 Option 2: Ginger Cookies with Lemon Ice Cream and Chocolate Chip Cookies with Spicy ____ ____ Ice Cream from Cool Haus. The cookie-ice cream combos were a little strange-of the three options, we only really liked one, but I could see how being able to choose your own unique cookie-ice cream pair could make the experience more worth it...
$1 (usually $2) Cookie Casa Chocolate Fudge Cookie Bar a.k.a. "Crack Bar" from Sweets Truck. I bought three of these on a whim and gave them away, so I don't really have much to say about this one.
That was how I spent a big chunk of my Saturday. Thank you, to my friends who joined in the fun, helped split the line time and shared all their yummy street food.
