With over 60 food trucks, from Asian Pork truck "The Flying Pig" to fine grilled cheeses from the aptly named "The Grilled Cheese Truck" and even the mobile confectionery "Sweets Truck" Los Angeles has a fairly saturated market. This coming Saturday, the 24th, taking place in Pasadena, CA and starting at 5PM is the Los Angeles Street Food Festival, boasting over 60 different Street Food vendors this marks the 2nd version of this festival, with the first taking place this past February.

While commonly referred to as "Roach Coaches" in the past due to the unhealthy nature and suspect cleanliness of the cooking environments, food truck have taken a turn into the gourmet, creating a mobile foodies dream come true. Most every type of cuisine is represented on these trucks, from Dim Sum to Comfort food.
