Where else is one supposed to eat at 2:30am after having an unnamed quantity of beverages at the local establishment? A Mexican taco truck, that's where. Restaurant on wheels = awesome. I mentioned before that food trucks, a form of "mobile architecture," were introduced in Atlanta but they are all the rage in Los Angeles. Here, food trucks are also cultural institutions, dishing out a taste of home for immigrants and providing a place where people of different ethnic backgrounds can gather and find togetherness through food.
And the bounty...mmmmmmmmm...
...and now, indigestion. I'm not used to eating Mexican food intended for Mexicans...can a white boy get some watered down chilies, please? Also, 3am Food coma / spice stupor is not good for writing, so apologies for the quality of the post ;)
School updates and other fun stuff to come soon once I have a bit more mental capacity, so stay tuned.
alas it seems every blog devolves into photos of meals ... the only thing that will save you is more sketches! post more sketches
ReplyDeleteand off topic, I read that grad students in california state school system are represented by the United Auto Workers Union ... so how does it feel to be a union man?
Well I only posted because it's relevant to a previous post, but point taken! I have more sketches, I'll see what I can conjure up.
ReplyDeleteTo your second item, USC is private and thus not a part of the union. So I'm still a free spirit.
One other purpose of the blog is to enlighten the east coast folks about west coast life...and this culture is a big part of that. I'll have your sketches for you, don't worry Robbo
