Mai Missions: Food Truck Chasing #1
// August 9th, 2010 // Food, Videos
I have to apologize to all mai fellow foodies out there.
As a fashionista, I gotchu. Being up fashion finds; I pride myself on being on it like a bonnet. As a foodie, I’m last season’s kogi taco. Lately Los Angeles has been tearin it up with the food truck trend and I’ve been too holed up in my office at Extra or on set at How Do I Look to experience the endless creative concoctions of banana pudding, sweet potato fries, or Korea pub grub. But this week I made it happen! After a long day of work I threw 2 foodie friends, a hungry huntin hubz, and my trusty Twitter navigator in the car to go stalk out The Green Truck, AnhJoo LA (who are the shiz for replying back asap), and Tauro’s Taco’s. Some advice for any of you to take this on:
1. Eat light at each stop! Do share your portions so you can cram more trucks in 
2. Partake in the festivities the trucks may be parked at. Art shows, music festivals, support the community, and sometimes free booze for everyone but the DD, (designated driver.)
3. Pack the car with lotsa napkins. If you’re Asian, or a mom, this is probably already covered.
4. Perfect flippin a beotch (U turn) to avoid causing chaos, or getting a ticket. You’ll almost always be flying past the truck looking for it. Or you’re too busy nom nomming the last stop you ate.
Special thanks to Jedmeister for bringing the grub alive with his gorilla style editing.

Hi Jeannie,
Thanks for the linkage!
I love your food truck advice. You’re definitely spot-on about sharing with friends so that you can eat more food. It’s the only way to do it!
Let me know if you ever want to go food truck hunting together!
Best,
Misty
P.S. I love “How Do I Look?”!
You are too freakin funny! I like that…
I just discovered you today while I was flipping through Comcast and came across the Style channel make up tips. You are too awesome. I will be turning 38 years young tomorrow and so needed some tips on make up. I went to style.com and watched some of your other short clips on make up and other female tips. I will definitely be using those tips! I am so glad I discovered you. I’m a mommy of four boys and sometimes get depressed, because I feel like I’ve lost that pizazz. Thanks for being a new inspiration. God bless you and many blessings to you in your future.
Done and done. I’ll def let you know..Frysmith and Queen Nana’s been on my list! Love your blog Misty
Oh my! Mommy of 4, wow! I can only imagine how challenging it’s gotta be to make time for yourself among the schedule you have for your family. Let me tell you, 38 is a precious year to really embrace the changes in your body and celebrate the life you have with your look. I always say “The way you feel about life eventually shows up in your look.” Make your look sparkle because of that blessed life you have
Great idea, we are so doing it. and hey, love your blog!
Hey Jeannie ! I am just about to turn 18, and want to make a new come-back for school this september. I’ve always been known as the wierd, goofy kind of girl and i want to finally change this image for my last year in highschool ! I noticed how fit you were and believe it or not – I joined the gym 3 weeks ago and it’s going alright. However, I realized in one of your posts that you eat wheat-free cake ? Is there a special diet you follow ? If yes, could you please share it with us ?!
XOXO big hugs, I also LOVE H.D.I.L !
