Kogi Wagon

I tried to jump on the Kogi bandwagon, I really did. Kogi is the name for the Korean BBQ Taco Truck fusion that's been sweeping the LA foodscape. I got some Friends of Food together and we searched it out at lunchtime. It wasn't too far away. The Truck was parked at its home base at the Alibi Room in Culver City. The line didn't look that long. So we waited. In the span of about 20 minutes, only 5-10 customers had been served. There was no way we could make it near the front of the line before our lunch hour was up. So we cut our losses and went to a Philly cheese steak/terriaki bowl restaurant in the neighborhood. My Philly was very greasy and the terriaki was not recommended by Friend of Food. It wasn't blog worthy at all. So in the end, we were close enough to smell the Kogi, but unlike in horseshoes and hand grenades, close wasn't good enough.
