The latest Two Guys Take on Food, Jamie and I went to Street
Food Cinema. The movie that night was
The Princess Bride and we were sorry that Rosa and Rynyn were not with us. It was truly a wondrous night and combined
with The Princess Bride, it was clearly a night made for date.
The whole night was quite good. Street Food Cinema is a moving service. That night the movie shown was in downtown Glendale,
but it goes to Exposition Park and the Pomona Fairgrounds as well. The Glendale sight was quite good for a date
because just a block away, was the downtown area. Downtown Glendale was quite the show for
before or after the movie, a couple could walk the downtown area. They had an outdoor galleria that looked like
it extended for many blocks. Jamie was
telling me that he thought Pasadena and Glendale were basically one place, but
it isn’t. Based on what I saw, Glendale
was where it was at, and it would be worth the extra ten minute drive on the
210 to get there.
For food, they had over ten food trucks serving over a
thousand people that Street Food Cinema had collected. They had: Let it Roll, The Beignet Truck,
Vizzi, Canvas, Diva Crepe, Rollin’ Rib BBQ Joint, Salads Galore, Currywurst, The
Fry Girl, LA Brew and Umami Burger… mhmm, Umami Burger. They also sold caramel corn at a little
stand, but I am not too sure if it was a Street Food Cinema thing or not. Over all it was a good mix of food from which
to choose. For the atmosphere it was
like a festival out in the park that everyone was having a good time. They had a band, Grey Eastern that played
there well before the movie. One of the
songs that they played was featured on the show Defiance, on the Syfy
Channel. They even had a contest based
on the movie that was quite cute. The
winner got a plush crown and twenty-five dollars! Now I have a gripe. They needed two more people to and I was
chosen but somebody (the winner I should say) ran up and took my position! I was cheated! Hehe
All and all it was a good time. I would suggest that everyone should go to
Street Food Cinema to have a good time.
And if you are lucky enough to have a special somebody, all the better!
