Mobile Dining

L.A.'s latest foodie craze is embodied by a pair of roaming taco trucks -- but not just any kind of tacos. Korean barbecue tacos. Kogi's two vehicles, Roja and Verde move all over the Southland three times a day, five days a week, and the lines of customers usually beat the trucks by at least a half hour.

Their website posts the weekly schedule with a general idea of time and place, but to get the lowdown on the exact coordinates, you'll need to follow their Twitter feed.

Yes, all of this sounds hip and slightly adventurous, but is it tasty? It is. Really, really tasty. The other 50 people in line agreed.

You Can't Spell 'Mbembphisq' Without BBQ

Payne's Bar-B-Q on Lamar gets the five-beret award for barbecue pork sandwiches. This is real good and real cheap. Two huge chopped porks and a bowl of beans went for $8. There's no heat in this converted garage, so most of the patrons were chowing down in their cars.

If we could give more than five berets to Central BBQ, we would. Their ribs are amazing and worth the drive from Iowa even if the guy at the counter thinks we chose a poor road trip destination.
