Yup, summer's almost here...

Time to start thinking about your holiday shopping! You know it'll be here in a minute.

But first Food.

June First Friday on Abbot Kinney is jam packed with deliciousness. Have you ever wondered just how many trucks are parked on our little stretch of eclecticism? This month we're excited to offer you 33 options - sweet, savory and everything in between.

You'll find lots of your old time faves like Spyros Gyros, Rollin Lobster, Sanook Soi, Blue Nova and The Pudding Truck; many of your newer faves like Prince of Venice, Smhokin Pot, Triple Threat and Astro; and a handful of newcomers: Bird Coma, Black Flour, MaraVilla and The Roast Truck.

Peruvian, Colombian, Cuban

and Vegan. That's what's on the MiraVilla menu of tacos, empanadas, plantains, pan de queso and more prepared in a variety of tasty Latin cuisines.

Look east for the inspiration that creates the Bird Coma menu of

Japanese Inspired Fried Chicken

and Karaage style sandwiches and wings, prepared with various marinades.

Another new tasty dish you'll want to check out is

Authentic Crêpes from Black Flour

French creperie Black Flour makes savory crêpes (also called “galettes”) and sweet crepes. The savory crepes are made with organic, naturally gluten-free buckwheat batter, combined with locally sourced ingredients. The sweet dessert crêpes are made with organic wheat flour and egg batter, and finished with delicious homemade toppings like orange marmalade, sea salt caramel and Valrhona chocolate sauce.

And if you need a cup of fresh roasted coffee to get you through the night, we're also welcoming the brand new Roast Truck mobile cafe.

Strictly for research purposes, of course, we have to try them all... We'll see you waddling along the Blvd.

Bon Appétit!
