Gourmet Food Truck Festival

Last night we went to Valencia's Gourmet Food Truck Festival. They had over 20 trucks at the event including Srpinkles, Fry Smith, Dosa Truck, The Border Grill Truck, Great Balls on Tires, the Dim Sum Truck, The Sweets Truck, Tapa Boy, Ludo Truck, Lake Street Creamery and many more. We had planned on getting there nice and early, but we skyped with Nic's parents instead (which was way worth it) and left the house around 4:45. We walked down using the paseos and were shocked to see how packed the event was when we arrived at 5:45!!! We expected lines and a crowd, but not like this!! It was pretty apparent the event planners weren't expecting that huge of a turnout either because the event space was filled to the brim with people! Nic and I decided to seperate and I stuck with my original plan of getting Sprinkles cupcakes first because I knew they would only have so many, but when I saw the line was about a 2 hour line and they were already looking close to running out of cupcakes I realized it would be way easier to drive down to Beverly Hills after work one day to get my Sprinkles fix. So I instead got in the Fry Smith line and Nic got in the Balls on Tires line. Almost 2 hours after we both got in line we finally had some delicious truck food to eat. I got Rajas fries: french fries topped with angus steak marinated shawarma style with roasted poblano peppers, carmelized onions, jack cheese, lime and cilantro. Nic got 2 Incredi Balls: ground kobe beef, applewood smoked bacon, gruyere, wild arugula and garlic aioli on a toasted brioche bun. Unfortunatly, we were so hungry that we found a curb to sit on and scarffed down our food without taking a single photo. The food was delicious, thankfully, because I'm sure a lot of people would have been extra grumpy if they waited that long and the food didn't even taste good. We walked around a bit longer....we almost got Dosa's...the line was really short, but they didn't have any dipping sauces for the Dosa's and after having that amazing Dosa in SF we decided against trying these ones. We got in line for Ludo's truck, which wasn't too long either, but decided we weren't really super hungry anymore. I grabbed a DJ AM Toffee Rice Krispy Treat at the Sweets Truck and we began our walk home. Although, it would have been nice if it hadn't been quite so crowded it ended up being a pretty fun night.
