I had a great time last week speaking to the Harvard Business School Alumni Chapter in Orange County. Perfect weather in SoCal and lots of great food finds, too.
Upon landing at LAX, I received this Tweet on my phone on the way to the rental car van:
It was on! Less than fifteen minutes from the airport (with some help from Google Navigation) and I was face-to-face with the Korean Tacos of my dreams.
Pioneers of LA's tweet-and-follow food scene, Kogi BBQ runs its lunch trucks throughout greater LA and keeps a devoted group of followers hip to the day's locations via their web site and Twitter.
I went for a trio of pork, chicken and tofu tacos. The flavors were amazing - zesty and spicy proteins with a juxtaposition of the familiar corn tortilla and a drenching of Asian toppings.
I left my place on the park bench across from the van with a trail of taco juice from wrist to elbow of my left arm. A perfect welcome to California!
