Truck Feasting - The Buttermilk Truck and Slice Truck


The LA Mart - the site of Truck Feasting with the Thirsty Pig.

On this nice day, we found ourselves heading to the LA Mart to look for the Buttermilk Truck. Luckily, Ms. C "willed" parking for us and we found a spot. . . two blocks away.

Walking past the giant chair, I saw no crowds in front of the two trucks and inside my mind, I'm going "WE WIN!" But we still quickly order as if there were 30 people standing behind us. However this "win" high was quickly let down, from the Buttermilk truck, with lack of biscuits and rosemary hash browns. Disappointed and little pissed, we still order the Hawaiian Bread Breakfast Sliders, the Hawaiian Bread Cinnamon French Toast Sticks, the Buttermilk Pancake Bites, and Housemade Cake Donuts.

The french toast sticks and pancake bites were expected tastes that we were accustomed to. But the Hawaiian Bread Breakfast Sliders were a nice treat. The sweetness from the bread coupled with the saltiness from Portuguese with shoyu scrambled eggs was a nice little Asian flavored treat. Personally, I like shoyu (soy sauce) scrambled eggs and rice, but that's my homemade lazy meal. Though I was really hoping for some potatoes and hash browns. There's always next time.

Today, we also tried the Slice Truck, with a pepperoni, mushroom & green pepper, and ham & pineapple pizza. The pepperoni and mushroom & green pepper was fine. You can't go too wrong with those pizzas. But the Hawaiian style ham & pineapple pizza was particularly notable. This slice had huge cubes of ham, which were almost too big. You don't find these large cubes in regular pizzas. I did notice that the crust on the ends was a bit hard. But other than that, it was a solid pizza.

Nice shady spot right across the street from the court building.

Today's crowd had lawyers, designers, and buyers with some regular folk trying to take care of their tickets.

The Slice truck. Simple menu. If you are in and around downtown, they will deliver. They also offer whole pizza pies, too.

I would assume that Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Papa John's would soon have their own pizza trucks roaming around.


Both the Slice Truck and the Buttermilk Truck have two of the most colorful food trucks around.
