Early Crowd from September 15

If you have not been to OC DinDin-A-GoGo then you are truly missing out. This weekly event at K1 Speed in Irvine is the happening place to be on a Wednesday night. There is a ton of food to choose from and it is like being at a tailgate party. The best part is every week there are new trucks to choose from. This is one reason why we keep seeing people come back time and time again.

This week we are in for a treat. There will be eight gourmet food trucks including Nana Queens from the Great Food Truck Race. There are also a couple of fan favorites joining the party. Here is the complete list:

South Bay DinDin-A-GoGo - Thursday, Sept 16

"Behemoth" from Grill 'Em All

Thursday night DinDin-A-GoGo heads back to South Bay. This is the original event started by Eric of Lomo Arigato. Like the OC gathering, this event has a friendly family atmosphere. One of the reasons we started going to the OC event, from the very beginning, was because of our positive experience in South Bay. It is great feeling the sense of community as family and friends gather at K1 Speed in Torrance to have a spectacular meal from some of the best trucks around. Don't be surprised to see tailgaters, foldable chairs and tables.

DinDin-A-GoGo Orange County is a Hit!

Tonight was the first DinDin-A-GoGo in Irvine. What a fun and packed night it was. We got there right when it started and already there was a good crowd of people waiting for the five food trucks to open their windows.

DinDin-A-GoGo is a weekly event on Thursday nights in Gardena. Tropical Shave Ice and Lomo Arigato have brought it to the OC. The event will now also be held weekly, Wednesday nights, at K1 Speed on Von Karmen/McGaw.

One of the things we like most about DinDin-A-GoGo, is how many people bring their chairs and make an evening of it. They hang out with their family and friends while eating some spectacular food! Think of it as the new family dinner table; families with children, couples, students, people from all walks of life. This was an event that everyone could enjoy. We had a chance to meet up with some of our friends as well. Some are food truck fanatics like us and some just know great food when they taste it.

The lineup tonight was Tropical Shave Ice, Lomo Arigato, Piaggio on Wheels, The Shrimp Guys and Calbi BBQ. Next week we expect that Dos Chinos will be on site.

Considering the event was just announced on Monday, we were happy to see such a huge turnout and all the support the trucks received. It was a nice mix having both OC and LA trucks at the event.

If you are a fan of food trucks or just want to try one to see what all the rage is about, come by DinDin-A-GoGo next week and make sure to say Hi! I think this might become our regular Wednesday night dinner spot.

Check out some of the food!!
