L.A. Street Food Fest

July 27th, 2010

Though I kind of detest the term, I certainly consider myself a “foodie.” I relish in all things food-related, but I think there’s typically a level of prestige and snobbery associated with the term with which I disagree. I have no problem eating from a truck (as seen here and here), so naturally when I found out there would be 100 of them in one place at the L.A. Street Food Festival, I bought tickets immediately. Though it looks like I only visited the dessert carts, I assure you that I also consumed some actual food, all of which was phenomenal.

We were there (in the vendor/dessert area) and I actually thought to myself, “This seems like something Emily would attend.” Sorry to have missed you!

A foodie who does not eat street food is like a fashionista who doesn’t shop at Forever 21. High and low go together!

This looks like SO MUCH fun! I must find something like this near me… That little ice cream cone is too cute, and that cookies ‘n’ cream ice cream bar looks crazy-good.

Hi!
I love your blog and was so inspired by the sweet potato fries with peanut butter and chocolate that I went home yesterday and made it myself. I’m not usually so great in the kitchen, but they came out delicious!
If you get a chance please stop by my blog, which provides ideas for combining vacations with volunteering:

I wish they have those kind of street food fest here. Love the ice cream bar!

I so agree, it’s the same thing with fashion! Why must people always be such snobs Mmm all the food looks so delish – does the ticket get you unlimited samples, or how does it work? That sweet fries with peanut butter sounds so strange, but I bet it tasted amazing!

Emily, I always look forward to checking your blog. I really want to know what color nail polish you are wearing in the chocolate dipped ice cream cone picture. Love it! I tried the Essie “Vermillionaire” this past weekend and decided it was too orange for me, but maybe not… Thanks!
