San Diego’s Food Trucks Festival This Weekend

Can’t get enough of food trucks? Since last year’s article, there have been new discoveries of these gourmet meals on wheels. Now there’s also a directory that lists information about food trucks all over the nation (http://foodtruckdirectory.com/).

This year, for the first time ever, there is a food truck fest coming near you. In collaboration with Boomers, 10 food trucks from Los Angeles (including winner of the Food Network’s show, “The Great Food Truck Race”) and 10 from San Diego will congregate with their mouthwatering offerings at a different Boomers location each day from Friday to Sunday, May 20-22.

Flavors and variety will reign supreme. Scrumptious, specialty tacos, burgers, fries, sandwiches, lobster rolls, rice bowls, teriyakis, curries, ribs, briskets, shaved ice and much more.
