Roving Mammoth – Mammoth Lakes, CA
Ok, I think we may have found the winner of the most unique food truck! Meet the Roving Mammoth, a food truck built into a snowcat, with huge treads that allow it to travel anywhere on Mammoth Mountain delivering delectable burritos. Another Roving Mammoth snow cat will be launched soon that delivers hot and fresh calzones to skiers!
Each snow cat delivers it’s food with over 300 horse power! Breakfast and lunch are available to locations on the mountain where regular restaurants aren’t available. Grab something to eat, and enjoy it on the way back up the hill before your next run. Prices are reasonable with burritos costing just $5.50.
I wonder what kind of gas mileage the Roving Mammoth gets?

Chairman Bao – San Francisco, CA (@chairmantruck)
Congratulations to Chairman Bao as FoodTruckTalk.com’s Food Truck Of-The-Week!
Buns, buns, buns and more buns! San Francisco’s Chairman Bao food truck has been serving their loyal fans with both baked and steamed Chinese style buns as one of the earliest gourmet food trucks in SF! The Chairman Bao truck is very noticable and draws attention wherever it goes, both for it’s food and appearance.
The Chairman Bao menu is broken down into People’s Buns with a choice between the red sesame chicken with scallion and bok choy bun or the crispy garlic tofu with miso greens bun (vegetarian). Like all of the Chaiman’s buns they can be ordered either steamed or baked.
For a few cents more the Chairman’s Buns offer a choice between the tender pork belly with pickled daikon bun or the the pulled pork with savory cabbage and preserved mustard seed bun.

The Grilled Cheese Truck – Los Angeles, CA (@grlldcheesetruk)
Nothing says comfort like a good old grilled cheese sandwich! Southern California’s Grilled Cheese Truck was born after their founders entered their Cheesy Mac & Rib Melt into LA’s 7th Annual Grilled Cheese Invitational. What was a weekend activity and a hobby became the impetus for the Grilled Cheese Truck.
At the festival the site of all the grilled cheese fanatics encouraged the Grilled Cheese Truck to not only offer “traditional” grilled cheese sandwiches, but also some amazingly great creations as well.
The “plain” grilled cheese is offered with American Cheese, Sharp Cheddar, Double Cream Brie or Gruyere. The Brie Melt is served on cranberry walnut bread with brie, pears and honey! Wow, add some smoked turkey if you like.
Vegetarians will be pleased with the Harvest Melt, roasted butternut squash with sauteed leeks, balsamic and agave syrups.
For dessert what more can you ask for than a Dessert Melt of gooey roasted banana puree, Nutella and marshmellow.
But, the pièce de résistance is the famous Cheesy Mac and Rib… macaroni and cheese with sharp cheddar, bbq pork and carmelized onions. This is a taste that will have you coming back time and time again.
The Grilled Cheese Truck is always on the move in Southern California, try it out, you’ll love it’s comfort.

Fishlips Sushi – Los Angeles, CA (@fishlips_sushi)
Congratulations to Fishlips Sushi as FoodTruckTalk.com’s Food Truck Of-The-Week!
Finally I can spout all of my incredible knowledge of ichthyology (a branch of zoology devoted to the study of fishes). It’s great to be an expert in something! Just kidding, I don’t know much about fish, but those in the ichthyology field inform me that yes fish do have lips although not like humans, and fish lips have taste buds. There you have it. Throw that piece of knowledge out next time you are at the bar with friends.
I am sure that Takeshi Kimura (aka TK) when he established Fishlips Sushi Food Truck knew that, after all he is a sushi expert!
The Fishlips truck is unique in that there is actually a sushi chef on board that is producing a great variety of quality sushi at very reasonable prices. We have been assured that the chef is not slicing while the vehicle is in motion, after all safety is the highest priority!
The quality is exceptional, far superior to many restaurants, grocery stores, Kmart or wherever else you can get sushi these days.
Fishlips Sushi’s menu has traditional rolls as well as Temari Sushi which is a ball-shaped sushi made by pressing rice and fish together. It’s really neat looking and a great finger food. The Temari’s are available with either tuna, tuna tataki, eel, albacore, eskalar, yellowtail, salmon, snapper, halibut or shrimp.
For lunch Fishlips offers a variety of combination plates consisting of a combination of sushi rolls and temari sushi balls. The sushi rolls fall into a few categories: California, Spicy Tuna, Shimp Tempura, and Vegetable. Within each categories there are a few options. Within the spicy tuna roll category is the spicy dragon roll with tuna, hot sauce, sesame oil. avocado, cucumber, eel and tamari sauce!
The Fish Lips roll has no rice, but instead is a soy sheet, avocado, cucumber, asparagus, crab, tuna, white tuna, white fish, salmon, tamari sauce, hot sauce and mayonnaise! That’s a lot to roll up!
Another unique feature from FishLips Sushi Food Truck is that they provide calorie information for each item. The Fish Lips Roll has just 36 calories. All of the roll based sushi are under 50 calories each. The temari sushi balls range between 40 and 60 calories each.
FishLips Sushi uses organic vegetables and Koshihikari sushi rice, the #1 brand in Japan!
Now, I wonder if chickens have lips???

Greenz On Wheelz – Los Angeles, CA (@greenzonwheelz)
It seems that the last few weeks we have been writing about anything and everything that is deep fried, breaded or contains lots of sugar. Granted they all those food items taste fabulous but every now and then we need something a little bit healthier!
The Greenz On Wheelz food truck certainly makes the perfect destination for those times when you feel like you “need a salad” or even when you just want a delicious wrap or melt.
The slogan “Lettuce Serve You” certainly is appropriate when presented with over 10 different salads to choose from. Each salad sounds better than the next.
I love a great BBQ chicken salad, and Greenz On Wheelz doesn’t disappoint with their chicken tossed with black beans, corn, jicama, tomato, cilantro, green onion, tortilla strips, jack cheese with BBQ and ranch dressings.
Two of the more popular salad choices seem to be the Chinese Chicken (with almonds, water chestnuts, green onion, crispy contons, sesame seeds and “a great “truck-made” salad dressing) and the Chicken Cobb (bacon, tomato, avocado, egg, blue cheese, and ranch dressing).
The “Italian” salad is something special with it’s combination of proscuitto, mortadella, salami, tomato, pepperoncini, garbanzo beans and provolone cheese with balsamic vinaigrette.
Non meat-eaters will appreciate the Caesar Salad and the Veggie Salad (tomato, cucumber, carrots, avocado, red onion, mushroom, bell pepper, black olives, garbanzo beans with either balsamic or lemon viaigrette dressing.
All of the salads can be also made as a wrap! Plus Greenz On Wheelz serves up some great “melts” served on their paremsan butter spread sourdough bread. Choice from tuna, turkey, roast beef, italian or veggie melts.
If you must have fried foods when ordering from Greenz On Wheelz their fresh cut potato wedges are pretty spectacular!
I’m going to check with Greenz On Wheelz to see if they can make me one of my favorites, The Wedge Salad! A wedge of iceberg lettuce, topped with chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, diced red onion, chopped tomatoes, and chunky bleu cheese dressing! Ahhh, heaven!
Hint, hint!
Hat’s off to Greenz On Wheelz for being Southern California’s salad food truck and more! Don’t miss it!

Chomp Chomp Nation – Orange County, CA (@chompchomptruck)
I’ve had the honor of visiting Singapore and one of the highlights of my trip was the food (don’t tell my business associates!). The flavorful Singaporean style of food has come to Southern California courtesy of Robert Zuetell’s Chomp Chomp Nation food truck.
Like the traditional hawker food centers in Asia, Chomp Chomp Nation serves great tasting and inexpensive street food, but with an American twist.
The menu items are quite diverse, however, we recommend you definitely try the Chili Crab Slider, sure the crab is great but the chili sauce that covers it is very authentic! Also available are a vareity of satays (chicken, rib-eye, tofu), wings, sloppy joes, fritters, poboys, and desserts like Singapore S’mores, and tropical fruit fritters.
You probably read the menu list and said to yourself, “oh great, sloppy joes, big deal.” Well, in the Chomp Chomp Nation it is a big deal as the sloppy joe is made from rendang meat which is flavored with blue ginger, lemongrass, chili, and coconut. It is a very complex mixture which in no way can be compared to Manwich!
The Singapore S’more’s are also not what you first thought. These are a brioche-and-Nutella sandwich with coconut jam, chocolate drizzle, condensed milk and and a dollop of whipped cream.
The bottom line is don’t be fooled by the simplicity of the Chomp Chomp Nation’s menu items. Each item has is created based on Singaporean heritage with an American twist. You are sure to visit Chomp Chomp Nation many times to experience their food, their cool looking tiger truck and the 12ft flag used as it’s tail!
If I knew how to say bon apetit in Malay (Singapore’s national language) I would!
