I have to admit, I was a little skeptical that the promoters of the Inland Empire Food Truck Fest would be able to coerce 50 of Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties’ food trucks to come all the way out to the Inland Empire.
I watched on Facebook, Twitter and the festival’s website as the number of participating food trucks slowly crept up and up.
They’ve now got 54 trucks lined up and have not finished yet.
The latest announcements?
