Arts and Crafts (and Food Trucks)
There was a time in my life when I associated food from trucks with some very negative things: I only saw them at construction sites, they always looked dirty, and I was always assured eating from them would lead to some pretty nasty diseases. Without fail, on the few occasions that I was offered to eat at a food truck during my youth, I politely declined. And this prejudice against vehicular nourishment went on for 18 years.
And then I moved to L.A.
Needless to say, my life began anew. I won’t go on extolling the many virtues of mobile street food, as I believe that this website has already gotten that point across already. However what I am here to tell deals with this matter very closely.
The Silver Lake Art*Craft and Vintage Market, which takes place every last weekend of the month, will this weekend feature a food truck block party. Now in addition to great shopping within a Broken Social Scene-friendly atmosphere, you can enjoy some of the best food on four wheels that our fine city has to offer without the need to feverishly follow their migratory patterns via Twitter. It’s just a bunch of food trucks, all in one place, ready to sell you food, right next to some awesome shopping.

so are you willing to eat at any old food truck now, or does this only apply to the trucks with cute names, overpriced food, and long lines?

Please shoot me an email regarding corrections, cause something’s not right about this.
April 26 and 27 are not Saturday and Sunday. So either this isn’t happening in April, or it’s happening on the 23rd and 24th? Please let me know when the correct date for this event is cause I’ll probably be there since i missed the LA Street Food Festival.

@Brian: Sorry about that, I got the date wrong. The correct time is now reflected in the post.
@zip: Taco trucks, taco trucks, taco trucks.

Generally I do not comment on sites, but I must to say that the post of your topic really forced me to do so! Thanks, great article.

Great website, I just came across it and I am already a fan. I recently lost 30 pounds in 30 days, and I am excited to share my weight loss success with as many people as possible. If I can lose the weight then any one can. Whatever you do, never give up and you WILL achieve all your weight loss ambitions!
