    The Mayor of all Food Trucks: Kogi. Waiting in line is hard when you have to smell the great korean food for hours. But in the end, it's all worth it! Try the short ribb taco!

    Parking is difficult so ride a bike, walk or take a cab. Get there early to sample the best in LA food truck cuisine! This is a street fair, so if you don't like big crowds, don't bother attending.

    Cool date place. Why? Even if things don't go so well that you're picking out artwork for your future abode, you can still make small talk over people watching and food trucks.

    The Rooster bar is always empty and has cheap drinks. A good (gay) refugee from the craziness.

    Always come with your posse at least 6 and " divide and conquer ". Separate and each stand in one line and get enough to share when done. Then you get more eating accomplished!
