User blog:Kate.moon/LA's Latest Food Truck

It all started in LA- sure, there has always been food trucks here and there, for hot dogs, for burgers, for some good-old fashioned American food. But several years ago, food trucks became the newest haute cuisine in LA for elusive palates. While the food truck craze can now be found in several cities around America, they're ubiquitous and as varied in Los Angeles as LA's demographic. To capture the interest of voracious food truck worshippers, LA has come up with the latest concept: food truck in the airport! Both hip and chic, Los Angeles is wheeling out the first food truck ever in an airport. This truck will reside at Terminal 4 of LAX Airport, designed to be part of a gourmet food court, itself inspired by Grand Central Market, an amazing gourmet eatery at the heart of Los Angeles. Not to disappoint those hoping for a free-wheeling food truck to ease your appetites, but this food truck won't ACTUALLY cart around the airport. It's totally immobile, although food will be catered via the truck itself.

What kind of food can we expect from the truck? Much like the popular Korean "Kogi Truck," one of the most popular and original food truck that started it all, the food will be ethnically Korean and seasonally varied:

"The food court is designed to embody “the visual and cultural vernacular of Los Angeles.” So it’ll have satellites from a bunch of trendy L.A. restos: West L.A.’s La Provence Patisserie and Café; the Miracle Mile’s Campanile; WeHo’s organic Real Food Daily and 8oz Burger Bar; downtown’s self-styled speakeasy The Varnish at Cole’s [..]”

Sounds deliciously tempting! Those catching flights at LAX will certainly eat better than most ever will anywhere!
