Food Trucks at Orange Best Buy now WEDNESDAYS




Originally scheduled on Thursdays, the Best Buy lot is now on Wednesday nights.



LA County Fair ends Sept 29

You know the latest rage in Los Angeles is the Food Truck craze. Well, we’ll have an array of food trucks with a variety of menus for you to try right here at the Fair. Don’t miss the Grilled Cheese Truck or the Vietnamese Sandwich Truck with its fresh baked baguettes and pickled onions and carrots atop each sandwich.

 It’s ok to indulge at the Fair, so you should also try one of our many scrumptious and decadent desserts. CB Cupcakes will be back with their fine gourmet treats. Try a crepe or a piece of cheesecake on a stick. How about a fondue dessert platter, which can be found at the Wine & Spirits Marketplace? Follow that with chocolate-dipped licorice! Healthy desserts are on the menu, too - Fruit Caboose and Terri’s Berries offer fresh fruit and smoothies.

 If you prefer a sit-down meal, try Maria’s Italian Kitchen, located in the Avalon restaurant across from the Grandstand. This is Maria’s second year at the Fair, serving delicious Italian food.
 Don’t forget the ol’ stand-bys - Hot Dog on a Stick, Pink’s, King Taco, Pork Chop on a Stick, Tasti Chips, a Blooming Onion and a giant turkey leg. A visit to the Fair can satisfy any craving!
The L.A. County Fair opens Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4 - 6 and then Wednesday - Sunday, Sept. 8 - Oct. 3, closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Live thoroughbred horse racing at Fairplex Park will be Sept. 9 - Sept. 27, dark Mondays Sept. 13, 20 and Tuesdays.

Save the San diego Food Trucks!!

UPDATE: The weekly food truck gathering at the Downtown San Diego Civic Center was SHUT DOWN today by the city as they begin their enforcement of NO FOOD TRUCKS ALLOWED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. No timeline has been given by Interim Mayor Todd Gloria's office as to when we can expect any amendments to the current codes which prohibit food trucks to vend on private property.
