Los Angeles' fascination with street food, from the real taco trucks to the recent gourmet Twittering food trucks (new word, Twiteatery?), will all be found in one spot come February 13th when the Los Angeles Street Food Fest makes its debut at LA Center Studios.
The organizing force behind the festival, Sauce LA's Shawna Dawson, a former Yelp Community Manager, and Sonja Rasula of UniqueLA, have finally announced the scrumptious line-up of food and craft vendors and we're already salivating over it.
Regularly talked about mobile vendors like Coolhaus, The Grilled Cheese Truck and Buttermilk Truck will be there, but others--more unheard of in the Twitter popularity contest, yet equally as good tasting--include Antojitos Abuelita of North Hollywood, Antojitos Carmen of Boyle Heights and Sabor de Bahia of Palms. Farmers market popsicle maker, Emily Zaiden of the popshop, and the Monsieur Egg Food Cart will also be there.

"We still have a couple of surprises up our sleeves," hints Dawson about the growing line-up. For now, see the who's booked so far below.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
