in OC Food News,Special Event

Yes, I didn’t go, but I’ve read and watched everyone’s awesome reviews of the OC Foodie Fest, the reviews are so good I wanted to share as many as I can with you.

My long time internet friend Amanda and her husband Andy who blog at Two Boos Who Eat, write about the OC Foodie Fest and the food at; India Jones Chow Truck, Ludobites, Coolhaus, and Longboards, and Louks ToGo.

Dave at Stick a Fork in It talked about the VIP Ticket and visited; Ludobites, Brazilian Ta Bom, Nom Nom Truck, The White Rabbit Truck, Frysmith, Buttermilk Truck, Get Shaved, CoolHaus, Nana Queen’s, the Lime Truck, and Deb Schneider of SOL Cocina’s Cart For a Cause.

Holly at the Michelin Project wrote about Surviving a Food Tuck Festival, hopefully she will chime in on what she tried and liked.

She’s Cooking had a great time checking out a number of trucks, and pointed to this great video by Johnathan Nafarette (@Johnathon360)

And lastly Niyaz and Jeff at Food Frenzy, gave us great pictures and a recap of the event that over 8,500 food lovers attended.  I can’t find a list of what they had, hopefully one of them will chime in on the comments section.

And another video from the OC Register’s Jonathan Khamis.

It sounds like just about everyone had a great time.  Did you attend the OC Foodie Fest?  What were your favorites, what trucks disappointed you?

How much do you think these tacos cost?  They came with your choice of meat (mine were Chicken, Carnitas, and Carne Asada).
