Friend of Blogitude, Ethan and I were cruising home Saturuday night from the east side after 1) a fund raiser in La Canada for a pre-school dominated by well heeled parents; 2) a visit to our possible future home at the Brewery and 3) a quintessential Bo-Bo party in Mt. Washington complete with live Afro-Cuban music; when we saw the Kogi truck on the westbound 10. We followed it.
The thing was greeted in Venice by two separate semi mobs of eager taco eaters, plus a camera crew.
On Friday night, when Blogitude Staff and Ethan met it in the freezing Silver Lake rain, the Health Department also greeted the operation, forcing an hour long delay. The public servants, concerned that I not get the runs took their sweet time measuring temps and inspecting all the bulgogi and kimchi that awaited us.
The wait didn't entirely suck as I was amidst Blogitude and Ethan. It helped that McDonald's was nearby to tide us over until the Man completed his health inspection.
Was it worth it? Yes. You wanna know why? A insisted that of our order of 30 tacos, we also get 3 burritos. I hate burritos and I'm glad that A pushed for the little fuckers. They are the best thing this truck offers and I am now a Jersey Fist Pumping Fan of the Korean Burrito. Thank you Kogi Truck for helping me to grow.

Those burritos are amazing! That's all everybody that experienced "Kogi" has been talking about.
I'm addicted. I'm using Twitter solely for the purpose of following the truck and getting burritos. . .
Guido fist pump to the maxxx. . .
yay! kogi mania backed up with evidence from known reliable sources! triangulation has been achieved. thanks, blogitude.
consider Kogi mania seriously backed. I'm not sure what other street food is worth standing an hour in the rain to get. also to Kogi's credit, they tweeted updates about the health department's presence so that people in the back of the line wouldn't lose faith.
Yes, the calm and transparent way in which they handled the painfully long delay created by the Health Inspectors was artful, AND once the jerkitudes left in their medium red corolla, team Kogi put the hustle on MegaDrive and moved faster and deadlier than the entire Seoul Tae Kwondo Team hopped up on hiroppong.
