The Maine event

Living in LA means keeping abreast of the constantly evolving restaurant scene.  Locally grown ingredients, craft breweries sprouting up like California poppies in April, and freshly squeezed juices with odd, sometimes inedible sounding ingredients seem like the only offerings in this glamorous town.

But that would be an incorrect assumption.  We are also experiencing a fat trend here, which is being nurtured by our huge selection of specialized food trucks.  Which we're ok with.

One of those food trucks, while not one of the worst offenders by any means (Coolhaus, anyone?), is The Lobsta Truck.  Full disclosure: I may have a personal relationship with the owners and managers of this mobile eatery, but my review has not been slanted by this in any way.  No really.  If you don't believe me, you'll just have to try them for yourself.

If you're lucky enough to spot the big red truck, pull on over and get in line quick.  While the menu isn't huge, it doesn't need to be.  Lobsta rolls, crab rolls, two types of soups, whoopie pies, and ice cream sandwiches along with a good selection of sodas and chips are all you need.  I opted for the Lobsta Roll.  And man, did I inhale that thing.  I wanted another almost immediately after finishing my first, which is a truly rare occurrence.  Just take a look at that beautiful lobster, covered in either butter or mayo (or half and half), on buttery golden Texas toast.

Starving yet?  Check out their website to see where they're stationed this week.  They cover a large area, so don't worry if you're in the valley or OC- you've still got a chance to try out this yummy truck.

Anyone out there want to see a particular truck reviewed?  I'll head on out and give it a try!
