Santa Monica Food Truck Tuesday
On a recent trip to Los Angeles, I discovered that there’s more to great dining than the traditional restaurant scene. In fact, some of the best food I’ve eaten recently was prepared in a kitchen on four wheels.
My good friend Danny turned me on to Santa Monica’s own ‘Food Truck Tuesdays,’ which is located in an empty parking garage, sandwiched between the beach and Main Street.
About 10 trucks dotted the lot, offering everything from Vietnamese-inspired lettuce wraps filled with spice, to chicken and bbq brisket, to lobster and shrimp tacos, and salted caramel gelato.
One of my personal favorites was Carb and Nation’s artisinal sandwiches. Aside from this young LA chef duo’s delicious lettuce wraps, the lemon roasted Russian fingerling potatoes with spice aioli, charred Shishito peppers with bonito flakes, and homemade drinks, including the luscious Strawberry, Basil, and Balsamic soda were standouts.
Keep Calm and Food Truck on!
