Midtown Lunch

The Summer version of the LA Street Food Fest has been announced, and from the sounds of things it will be far smoother than the inaugural event this past Feburary.  The completely redesigned “Tasting Event” is being held at the Rose Bowl, July 24th from 5:30 to 9pm. Tickets are $45 and all inclusive, or you can buy a VIP pass for $65 that gets you in at 4pm. They’re also hoping to cut down on the lines by taking the 60 or so participating vendors out of their food trucks and putting them at tables.  There will also be bands, a beer garden, and cocktails from L.A. area mixologists.  Plus the event has taken a page from the Vendy Award playbook, and will have a panel of judges to hand out random awards to the trucks (Susan Feniger has already been announced.)   As long as the line to get in is shorter that’s all I care about… don’t want to end up at Philippe’s again!
