Bros' Guide to Food Truckin' Chow

Sometimes, trying new things doesn't always have to be painful. Sometimes, it's rather enjoyable, especially when it comes to great food. Within the past year, catering trucks have become the new craze. Long gone are the days when food trucks would come to serve early morning breakfasts to construction sites and the such. Fortunately, Granada Hills has been blessed with a multitude of catering trucks.
Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon and night, trucks line up to serve customers along nearly a mile of Chatsworth street between Zelzah and White Oak.
Having to choose between french cooking, native american flatbread, and numerous other fusion cuisines can be a chore in itself. However, after sampling and cruising our way back and forth through Chatsworth, we found ourself coming back to the "New York Galbi". Aside from the free samples, we were intrigued by the unique blend of mexican and korean bbq cuisine. As frequents of both styles, it was nearly impossible to skip on this fusion dish.
Our dish of choice was the spicy pork burrito. A grilled flour tortilla stuffed with korean bbq style pork, kimchi, scrambled egg, and a unique spicy sauce, this was something special. Along with the great food, was a great host. John our server and possible owner of the truck, was very welcoming and very interested in his customers. He was never shying away from potential guests, complementing passers by, offering them a taste of bbq beef and kimchi/crab quesodilla.

 Well, that's a quick little update about Friday nights on Chatsworth. Hope you all can make it out once and give one of these trucks your business. It's a great place to meet locals in your neighborhood and make acquaintances with local shop owners.
See Ya'll Out There!
