First Annual Gourmet Food Truck Festival 2011

It's true that food brings people together. Yesterday I got to hang out with two of my friends from high school, my friend's co-worker, and a few hundred foodie friends at the First Annual Gourmet Food Truck Festival at the beautiful Del Mar Racetrack. The festival featured 40 food trucks from all over Southern California. Although the lines were a little overwhelming and I didn't get the chance to try a lot of the trucks, I think the event definitely made people aware of how many different food trucks are out there. For me personally, it served as a launch pad for new foodie adventures!
