The People of the Book (finally) become the People of the Truck when Takosher (Twitter: @takosher), the nation’s first kosher taco truck soft-launches on Monday, serving tacos brisket, latke, and more traditional tacos.

T.G.I.N.F. because the Takosher Truck, like the John Goodman character in “The Big Lebowski,” doesn’t roll on Shabbos. It does, however, serve lunch on Fridays and re-opens late on Saturday nights to sate the club-hopping buccaneers of Pico-Robertson.

Since arriving in Los Angeles from Washington, DC, chef Brian has worked as a personal chef for Mary J., along with Eddie Murphy and Mariah Carey – a career arc that led to a starring role on the Food Network show The Private Chefs of Beverly Hills.   (Read the full ZAGAT article HERE)

Chasing the Grilled Cheese Truck – by Faye Levy

Outside of chasing the ice-cream truck, which I loved as much as any child, I never imagined following any food truck. I considered them to be providers of ordinary sandwiches when you couldn’t bring lunch to work. In Los Angeles I always ignored the ubiquitous taco trucks that serve hot Mexican flatbread sandwiches. That is why I was baffled when a foodie friend told me she waited on line for an hour to get a grilled cheese sandwich from a truck, to eat standing up!  Read the full article HERE
