Mucho Carne

When we’re not eating banh mi, we get a little excited by the copious amounts of taco trucks/stands in L.A. A staple taco gets a lil’ Nom Nom makeover. Hope you like it!

Thursday: Compartes Chocolatier and then the Phillip Lim Boutique for Fashion’s Night Out!

Misa — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 05:54:57 +0000

Wow, was Thursday a busy day for the Nom! We started out driving over to Compartes Chocolatier in Brentwood at noon. It was super busy, and thank you so much to everyone for coming!

After receiving their food, customers could dine on the charming Compartes patio- so cute!

The lovely Jonathan behind the counter, I love the decor, and his lemongrass sorbet is TO DIE for!!

We’re hoping to possibly making this a monthly event, we will most definetely keep ya’ll posted!!

Next stop: Phillip Lim Boutique in Weho! It was most definetely difficult to park the truck in the lot (yes parking is most DEFINETELY not my strength) but as Tim Gunn says, make it work!

The boutique is absolutely stunning. Me and David K. (a fellow Nom team member!) went to peek inside- beautiful!:

Swapping tacos with Border Grill and trying Get Shaved Ice!

Misa — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 06:58:55 +0000

Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been on hiatus for a while, but I’m back! Last Friday we had a great run over at the 5900 building on Wilshire. Border Grill Truck was just down the street, and the girls were so sweet to bring us over some of their delicious tacos to try! Our team luved them, and they are so colorful too! (Our fav was the guacamoleeee)

In return, we were sure to send some Banh Mi and Vietnamese taco luv their way . . . we hope they liked them! :D

So sweet :)

At the end of our shift (and while we were waiting for our mechanic to come) David found out that Get Shaved was down the street! He brought back some shaved ice from them and it was AMAZING! However I was kinda pissed because he hogged all the shaved ice to himself and didn’t let me have anymore!! >:-o

The good news is on Wednesday we will be doing a shift on Butler and Olympic with Get Shaved Ice. The perfect dessert to compliment your Banh Mi or Taco on a hot summer day.

Thank goodness!! Then I’ll be able to have a shaved ice all to maself and David can’t steal mine ahahahahahaaaa. And maybe we could even work some kind of food swap while we’re at it . . .

Nom Nom Debut: Too Many People, Not Enough Food!

Thank you everyone for coming out to our launch last night at The Brig! It was a very amazing, but hectic first night for us, and we definitely had our share of missteps and hiccups. I would just like to express our gratitude for all those people who waited in line remained patient throughout the night! Through the long lines, unfilled orders, miscalculated change, and just plain lack of food, everyone was surprisingly understanding and supportive. We’re still learning how to do this whole food truck thing, and knowing how much food to prep the day before is still a mystery to us (as anyone who was there last night could attest). If we prep too much, then we have a bunch of spoiled food at the end of the day; if we prep too little, then we have what happened last night…hungry customers! It will probably take some time and experience to get it right, but I promise we’ll get there soon!

Whew…with that said, the launch was still a fantastic experience. It was great seeing so many people out to greet us and chow down! We even had some celebrities in the crowd (waiting in line for an hour like everyone else)! Elijah Wood, Roger Sterling (Mad Men) and Sam Merlotte (True Blood) were all spotted getting their “Nom” on!

Overall, the turnout was great, the vibe was incredible, and it was very heartening to see so many people clamoring for banh mi! Emboldened by the wave of support last night, we’ll keep working to crank out banh mi and bring them to all the underserved parts of Los Angeles! Thank you so much everyone!

By the way…does anyone have any pics from last night that we could post? I was way too busy to take any. If you do, we’d love it if you could send them to: info@nomnomtruck.com.
