Trucks for Friday 8/19/11 and important note

I will be on vacation 8/22 through 8/30.  I will not be updating my blog during this time.  I will try to update my Twitter feed,   but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to do that everyday.  There are currently trucks scheduled each day on Bluffside, so I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Trucks for Thursday 8/18/11

First, a note about yesterday:  I got late notice that both Nom Nom and Grilled Cheese trucks were going to be there, so I updated my daily email, Twitter and blog.  It turns out they were there for an ABC/Disney Communications company picnic and did not serve to the general public until 1:00.  Due to the restricted hours, I'm not sure if many of you ever got to try them.   I have contacted both trucks in an effort to get them to return one day to serve us NBCU/Studio City/NoHo peeps.  I'll keep you posted.
