The LA Food Fest in July was a glorious celebration of mobile food businesses and old school Mexican food trucks, dishing out generous portions of artisan ice creams, dim sum, sweet potato fries, and ethnic foods from around the world.

Even for those on a budget, the Food Fest was truly a great value for unlimited tastings from tons of trucks, as well as addictive nut butter crunch from my friends at p.o.p. candy. (It was fun handing out samples to foodies, glaze-eyed from this fabulous food orgy yet as they stood in line for ice cream.)
