Pink Taco Truck (New)

Image
You might have seen the Pink Taco Truck L.A. around town at various events. Not your typical taco truck, using local and farm-fresh ingredients. I was invited to the media preview at the Pink Taco restaurant on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. They had their taco truck parked outside. Pink Taco Truck LA aka "The L.A. Woman" You probably remember the song, "L.A. Woman" by the Doors. Did I just show my age??? Tonight's Menu on the 32" monitor at the back of the truck With a lot of goodies to try, and since I'm a taco guy, it had to be a taco order. While waiting for my order, I got to sample the Watermelon aqua fresca. I'm ready to eat now. See What Jay Eats... My tacos were ready, so it was time to go inside the restaurant and try some Pink Taco Truck tacos.

Inaugural Crave Expo 2014

The ice sculpture dispensing champagne Thanks to my friend Erin ( @DatingAdviceGirl ), I was invited to the Inaugural Crave Expo at The Mark of Events in Los Angeles. Event founders, Jacob Lee, Peter Paik, and Martin Kim, wanted to create a one stop shop for catering needs. I've been to a lot of food shows, both trade and various  food & wine events,  as both an attendee and exhibitor/chef. I guess I wasn't expecting a lot of soon-to-be brides in attendance, but it makes perfect sense.  Just as what the founders wanted to create, a one stop shop for catering and event services. As I arrived, Lawry's Catering was the first vendor I came across. Having catered with them at  a few events (and also as an attendee), they do a professional job outside of the re staurant  environment and of course their food is very good too. See What Jay Eats...
