Hello everyone! Happy Valentines Day!! Hope everyone had fun with their friends, family, loved ones and ate lots of sweet treats.

I'm back home after 8 days in sunny Los Angeles. I had so much fun with my friends, exploring the city and eating a diverse collection of foods. The thing I love about LA is all the different neighborhoods that the city has and each has its own personality and people. I got to experience the culture and diversity. Plus, I had an interview for a job I really want so crossing my fingers for that one!

Food trucks are a big thing in any city these days. They are easy, fun and there's so many different kinds of variations. I was lucky that my friend lives by a church parking lot where the Westside Food Truck Central meets. The trucks tweet if they are going to be at the site that day because it's different everyday! So fun and such a great variety of ethnic foods. The first time I went was for dinner and I just couldn't decide, but my friend had told me that the Grill 'Em truck was there and I could see that it was a big hit just by the line. They were the winners of the Food Network Food Truck Competition! And their burgers proved that they were.

I ordered the Waste 'Em All burger. Pepperjack cheese and green chilies. I took one bite and was in love. The burger was so juicy and the chilies made it even more juicy. I ordered a side of frites with garlic aioli.

The site. A circle of food trucks and a few tables in the middle. Most people get their food and take it home.

The Grill 'Em truck. The longest line there, so you know it's good.

Pink and tender on the inside. On a toasty bun, yummy.

My friend ate at a Japanese and Peruvian fusion truck, I forgot what it was called. Oops. The yakisoba is Japanese and the green sauce is a spicy Peruvian influence.

I was too full for dessert, but these ice cream cookie sandwiches looked amazing. So many different variations at the Chunk-N-Chip Cookies

I'm in love with the food truck scene. It's so easy and the variation is unlimited. I hope I can explore some food trucks in Seattle! Get ready for more LA posts this week since I pretty much ate my way through the city.
