the better question, dear grimy goods, is what WOULDN’T i want to stuff down my piehole. I can see one of my mangy paws grasping 2 of sushi roku’s lip-smacking baked crab rolls, while my other digits clutch javier plasencia’s charred octopus tacos (I’m ambidextrous). meanwhile I’ll stick one of bling bling’s oozy cheeseburger dumplings on the right side of my craw (chimpmunk style), leaving room for a savory bite of pupusa, straight down the middle. And of course my meal wouldn’t be complete without wearing a few dribbles of elvis ice cream down the front of my shirt. I gotta look grimy, GRIMY!!!
So many yummy choices!
You’ll find me at:
Belly Bomz-K-BBQ
Bigmista’s Barbeque
Candela Taco Bar & Lounge
Dang Brother’s Pizza
Dante Fried Chicken
Nevera Juice bar

SOooo excited for the LA Food Fest and would be elated to win tickets!! All of the food tastings look amazing!! the Grilled CHeese station are you kidding!! I love anything wish Asian influence, so I’m especially interested in the 90210PHO, Belly Bomz K-BBQ, and Bling Bling Dumplings!!! My mouth is watering as we speak!! Please pick me! I promise I will use those tickets to their full purpose!
one must have an eating strategy when approaching events like this. to begin with:
1) dont gorge. chew slowly and take your time or you will be done in 45 minutes, sitting on a wall fanning yourself, maybe even trying to eat something really sweet like sorbet to cleanse your pallet. but the reality is your ship will be sunk until next year and your only hope is to try to stuff some shit in your pockets for the next day.
2) understand the nature of flavors and hunger. i like to go sweet-savory-sweet-savory, etc so this year, for example, i would start with a razzy lemon lulu donut then hit the chili crab gumbo then go back to a smoked vanilla buttermilk donut then down a baked crab hand roll then a churro ice cream sandwich followed by mini pork belly BLTS. back and forth, back and forth. this is to keep the senses fresh or you’ll stop tasting what your supposed to be tasting. sip water as well.
3) use lines strategically. long lines are good sometimes! when you need time to digest or force yourself to slow down. they are regulators. work with them and they will work with you.
4) dont be a dick. i see a lot of pushing and shoving at these events. those are amateurs who havent experienced the liberation of a food festival before. put the claws away!!! as long as you are there early, there is plenty to go around. be civil and remember your integrity!
i could go on and on but it’s getting my hopes too high!! love your blog grimy goods!
So many to choose from, but some I would love to try at the L.A. Street Food Festival are: Canvas Foods, Currywurst, Dang Brothers Pizza, Dante Fried Chicken, Dog Haus Dogs, El Arca Bakery & Restaurant, Fred 62, Jalisco’s Mobile Taco Grill, Martinez’s Tacos, 90210PHO, Julian Cox + Josh Goldman / Soigne, Sailor Jerry Rum. OMG! Can I just pick them all? 🙂
