“Cod Save the Queen” Brings UK Kitsch to the Streets of L.A.
My love of food trucks is an odd obsession that has managed to endure many years despite numerous contradictions. For one thing, even though I love to track the comings and goings of new food trucks it is always with a slightly disapproving eye. “Did you seriously put money into this idea?” “Didn’t anybody warn you that food trucks are a losing proposition?” “Didn’t you bother to ask!?” Most new trucks are either too cute for their own good, more expensive than they should be, or (the worst offense) just downright awful. As if dressing up shitty food in a painted truck is going to somehow turn it into the next Kogi. And yet on indecisive lunch days I can’t resist heading to Miracle Mile, or Pennsylvania and 26th, or the newly re-opened food truck lot on Overland and Washington to see what’s going on.
Last week I was rewarded with “Cod Save the Queen”, a new fish and chips truck that launched at Coachella this year. And as somebody who runs a website/podcast called Food is the New Rock, how could I not?
