Gateway to LA Brings Food Trucks to Century Blvd on Tuesdays

The prospect of getting a bite from the hottest food trucks in LA just got easier for lunch time diners close to LAX.  Gateway To LA is sponsoring a food truck lot near Century Blvd every Tuesday from 11 AM until 3 PM.

The weekly event has been bringing popular trucks to a location just behind the Crowne Plaza hotel for almost two months now.  Each week a different group of trucks shows up; past participants include Buttermilk Truck, India Jones, and Cool Haus among many others.

The event’s sponsor — The Gateway to L.A. Property-based Business Improvement District — has been working to make the Century Blvd corridor from LAX to the 405 “cleaner, safer and more vibrant”.  I think they’d done a great job with the addition of the Tuesday food truck lot.

I compliment them for the steps they’ve taken to make it more than a “grab and go” experience.  The lot is away from the major streets in the area; tables and chairs are available for diners that want to hang around; and hand-sanitizing wipes are nearby in case you need to scrub before eating.  Nice touch.  Oh, they also have some sort of live music going on be it a steel drummer or a keyboardist.  Altogether, it makes the environment more like a festival instead of your average Tuesday lunch.

To find out which trucks are serving in the coming weeks, check out Gateway to LA’s Google Calendar.  Oh, and don’t forget to give them a shout out on their Yelp and Foursquare pages too.

See ya there on Tuesday!
