eat me!


ok, yesterday's alice in wonderland inspired post has to have a flippy, an "eat me" to balance out the "drink me" if you will.
and you are gonna like this . . .

the entire long weekend style staff were recently inducted into the kogi korean BBQ to-go truck craze by a "foodie-in-the-know". well, what exactly IS the kogi korean BBQ to-go truck anyways???

food trucks, formerly in another life known as "roach coaches" have been elevated to a new status - traveling restaurant. and this time out, with super delicious, gourmet offerings ranging from korean/mexican BBQ to dessert to mediterranean . kogi is just one of the few catering companies out there that has a fleet of 4 trucks (rojo, verde, azul and naranja, the 4 basic colors in spanish. the korean words for blue, green, red and yellow would probably be most difficult for the majority of us out there to pronounce. and pronounce correctly? ai-yai-yai. so spanish it is).

the 4 kogi trucks rove different socal 'hoods 6 days out of each week, offering no-frills but mouth watering eats to meat eaters and vegetarians alike. and for very affordable prices, LWS might add - very fortuitous for those with voracious appetites as everyone seems to be on fiscal lockdown these days.

so here's the deal: go to their website and find the truck nearest your home or place of employment. drive to location. park car. let nose lead you to the delicious smell of korean bbq. read menu. place order. wait impatiently for order to be ready while watching those who have already received their lunch order nosh on korean bbq awesomeness. receive order and get your tastebuds and stomach ready for the taste sensation.

bite. swallow. sigh with bliss. repeat.

LWS staffers chowed on korean bbq chicken tacos on fresh made just-perfectly-crispy corn tortillas with an absoutely amazing array of greens and such atop ($2) served in a simple brown paper boat. also consumed: the sliders: korean bbq beef on toasted mini buns ($5 for 2) covered once again in fresh greens goodness. yum yum yum. our foodie-in-the-know went with the fantastic korean bbq tofu and says that you MUST MUST MUST try it with the citrus juice (a blend of lemon, lime and orange juices) if the kogi truck servicing your area has any left! next time, we are totally going to the try the korean bbq beef quesadilla.

go to http://www.kogibbq.com/ to check out the scheduled locations and timetable for each of the 4 kogi trucks. cash only. items priced from $2-7 each as well as a small selection of soft drinks and chips for $1.50.
bon appetit!
