Eagle Rock Brewery Grand Opening Tonight!

We love beer (that's one of the reasons we put it in our all-beef chili)! So, we're super excited about being at the grand opening of the Eagle Rock Brewery tonight.

It's been a while in the making, but the brewery is now open to the public and will have four of their beers on tap along with four others for your tasting pleasure. We'll also be parked outside because the best thing to drink alongside our fries is a cool brew.

The grand opening will start at 6p and end at 10p. Address:
3056 Roswell Street
Los Angeles, Ca 90065

Hope to see you there!

The Frysmith Dogwich

There's a new special this week, and it's got an at least kinda catchy name: The Frysmith Dogwich. A sesame-seeded French roll is topped with a split, grilled all-beef 1/4 lb. hot dog. That's topped with our chili and cheddar cheese. Then that's topped with fries and a mustard slaw. It's big and hard to eat, but I saw at least one guy finish one without a fork at lunch today. Oh, and the picture's out of focus, which, as far as I know, won't affect the taste of your next Frysmith Dogwich.

Captain Eli's

We've got a new soda on board. Captain Eli's Orange Pop is flavored with cane sugar, orange and tangerine. It's got some stuff floating in it, which is usually a seal of goodness in a natural soda (as opposed to, say, tap water). Try the Orange Pop with some SweetPo!

The Last Hurrah

We're headed back to the Downtown Independent Theater on Sunday night (9-10:30) to feed folks after the premiere of "The Last Hurrah." It's a comedy filmed in one shot. Now there's a concept that takes guts. I can just see someone noticing that they forgot to press record 45 minutes into the take. Anyway, stop by downtown for a late meal or grab fries after you watch "The Rules of the Game" of 21st century comedy!

NaturalMind Grand Opening Party with Tight Shortz

Stop by Natural Mind in Silverlake on Saturday for a night of live art, music and theater (and Frysmith which will be parked in the lot)! The party has something for everyone and will go from 7p-midnight. On the truck, we'll miss out on the entertainment so come and hang out with us for a bit!

Canceled: All-You-Can-Eat Frysmith at the Alameda Truck Lot!

We were just informed that they're closing the Alameda Truck Lot tonight, so we're going to have to postpone AYCE night. We'll bring it back bigger and better at a location that actually has tables!! Stay tuned and sorry to all the folks who wanted to come out.

We're making our first trip out to the Alameda Truck Lot this Thursday! The new destination for food trucks is located on Alameda near 2nd and Traction, right on the boundary of Little Tokyo and the Arts District.

To celebrate, we're going to do our very first All-You-Can-Eat night. For $10.50, eat all the fries you can in a one-hour period. If you want to sample everything on our menu but doubt your ability to scarf down 6 full orders of fries, don't worry! For the all-you-can-eaters we'll have 1/2 size boats available, so you can enjoy a full smorgasbord of fries and try as many as you want.

There are rules, of course. The all-you-can-eat special is limited to a one-hour serving window, you can't bring your food off the lot and no sharing with non-all-you-can-eaters!

For those with less impressive appetites, we'll also have our regular menu available! Check us out at the Alameda lot from 5p-9p Thursday and bring a folding chair!

It's Fat Tuesday at Bar One in NoHo

Celebrate Mardi Gras by feasting on beer and fries at Bar One tomorrow night! Bar One is offering a line-up of beers brewed in New Orleans, as well as:

3 new Lost Coast Draft Brews
Brother Thelonious
Red Seal
Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

We'll also feature a new special on the truck. Come out to NoHo and indulge Mardi Gras style!

Happy Valentine's Day and more!

We're looking forward to seeing everyone who bought presale tickets for the One-Night Stand at the Verdugo Bar tonight. The event is sold out, so no tickets will be sold at the door. For those who wanted to come but didn't buy presale, stay tuned as we'll have another special dinner next month!

Headshots for Haiti

On President's Day, Neat Productions is holding “Headshots for Haiti,” a one-day charity event to benefit Partners in Health. Six of Los Angeles’ top photographers and a crew of stylists will be on hand to take digital headshots (you can take them home on a flash drive) in exchange for a $50 donation ($75 cash only at the door). Headshots normally cost $350, so it's a great deal for a great cause!

The event will take place at 99 Pasadena, Studio 10, located at 99 Pasadena Avenue, South Pasadena, CA from 9 AM until 6 PM. We'll be there serving lunch and Buttermilk will be there before us for breakfast! All donations go straight to PIH, which is currently helping to supply healthcare services to those affected by the tragedy in Haiti with no administrative costs. Photography and Life Coach Beate Chelette will also be on hand offering 15-minute career coaching in the morning for all who have a pre-paid AM session.

Photographers include Peter Bohler, Eric Raptosh, Sarah Golonka, Joseph Briscoe, Maria Schriber, Christina Gandolfo.
Event sponsors include: 99Pasadena.com, Jeff Burke, Lorraine Triolo, Venice Business Services, Little Bird Communications, Indie Printing, Ignited, Brooke Hodess, Anne Barton and Georgina Seabrook.

Party at the Downtown LA Youth and Culture Center

We'll be at Pussy and Pooch for the early part of DTLA artwalk, but afterwards, we're headed to the Downtown LA Youth and Culture Center. They're throwing a party/exhibit/fundraiser and we'll be in the lot slinging fries. We're donating a portion of our proceeds to the center, so come by, soak in some culture and get some fries!

Dave McKean Signing at La Luz de Jesus Friday!

We're excited to be at the always fun and funky La Luz de Jesus this Friday for a book signing by Dave McKean. The legendary multi-media artist will sign books, publications, CDs, Album covers, and DVDs from 6p-9p, signing an item for each item purchased (there's always something great to pick up at La Luz de Jesus!).

The signing precedes the unveiling of McKean's latest exhibition of fine art at BFSA in Culver City on Saturday. For more info, visit La Luz de Jesus!

Ichi The Killer with Free PBR at Downtown Independent

Tonight we're parked outside the Downtown Independent theater for their Enter the Tuesday! series. At 10pm they'll show Ichi The Killer and give out free PBR (i.e., Pabst Blue Ribbon). Get some fries before the show and/or after!

Auction at Stinkers!

We were planning a future visit to Stinkers, a truck-stop (and skunk) themed bar in Silverlake, when my favorite doorman at the Bigfoot Lodge told me there going to class the place up. My immediate concern: What will happen to all those cute skunk butts?!

Stinkers, one would assume, gets its name from the stuffed skunks on display everywhere. The mounted skunk rear ends above the bar emit a cloud of steam at the press of a button. It's not everyone's brand of humor, which might play a part in why the bar is going to transform.

The manager informs me that they're going to auction off the decor, skunk butts included, this Tuesday. The preview starts at 8p and the auction, at 9. We'll be at a private gig, so we can't make it, but if you want some low-brow decor, head to Stinkers at 2939 W Sunset Blvd.

The New Special

Those strange globular things are poached pears, which we're serving with pork belly, mustard and cheddar as our special this week. On fries, of course.

Quickie update: We ran out of the special Friday night. Didn't realize we'd move that many in the rain. We'll get a new one going next week!
