After a long, strenuous week of school, the perfect cure is food. The Abbot Kinney Food Trucks are a desirable spot for those who are looking for some trendy and inventive meals. The food trucks arrive on Abbot Kinney Blvd in Venice and occur the first Friday of every month, lasting from 5-11 p.m. The food trucks vary from gluten free and vegan items to tasty desserts!

If you’re looking for something to satisfy your savory desires, The Grilled Cheese Truck is the place. This truck is famous for their incredible grilled cheese; a popular choice is the classic regular, or a grilled cheese with Mac n’ Cheese inside! Another admired sandwich is the Goat Cheese Melt: sun-dried tomato whipped goat cheese, caramelized mushrooms, fresh arugula, balsamic syrup, all stuffed in between two slices of fresh grain bread. The Grilled Cheese truck also has a S’more Sandwich: sweet brioche bread, crumbled graham crackers, gooey, warm marshmallows, and creamy Nutella. Who would have thought you could make this sandwich in so many different and delicious ways!

A popular dessert spot is The Pudding Truck. This truck features a classic, hand-made vegan pudding with flavors of vanilla, butterscotch, chocolate, and more. You can top your pudding with multiple toppings: whipped cream, brownie bites, sprinkles, and the list could go on! This truck will definitely cure your sweet cravings and you will find yourself waiting in line for a second round.  

All in all, the Abbot Kinney Food Trucks are a place where you can gather up a group of friends and eat amazing food! Don’t forget this event occurs the first Friday of every month. Head over to Venice with an appetite, because you will end up eating more than you could imagine!
