Sure, the movie is important, but the food trucks, guys, the food trucks. There’s enough food on wheels at each Eat|See|Hear event to feed an army—tacos, grilled cheese, ice cream—but you’re not going to be able to sample everything. We’ve narrowed down the best bites to line up for at each screening; this weekend, catch The Karate Kid showing on August 22 at La Cienega Park in Beverly Hills. Here’s what you should be noshing on:
Jersey-style dogs at The Greasy Wiener: Go ahead, get your giggles out of the way. All good? OK, hear us out: The Greasy Wiener (tee hee) is killing it at the hot dog game, with menu items like "The Bomb" Dog—a bacon-wrapped beauty that would make any LA street vendor proud.
Tacos at Say Fish Taco: You can get a number of fantastic tacos at this food truck—shrimp, blackened salmon, beef—but whatever you get, we highly recommend adding their cauliflower rice to your order.
The Chicken waffle from Wafl Truck: Made fresh to order, the waffles from Wafl Truck are fluffy, hot and the perfect receptacle for holding both sweet and savory fillings. Case in point: The Chicken, one of the truck's most popular items. It's filled with Swiss cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto and chicken—and is a really great prelude to a nutella waffle. Just sayin'.
Connecticut roll at Cousins Maine Lobster: Served warm with just a light sprinkling of butter and lemon, this lobster roll is, hands down, one of the best in LA.
Burrata and summer fruit toast at The Gastrobus: Listen, it's not all hot dogs and waffles here. The Gastrobus offers healthy, organic snacks and sandwiches to nibble on sans guilt, like their burrata and summer fruit toast. Pair with a smoothie and feel free to cast judgment on your hot dog-wielding friends.
