The OC Foodie Fest August 27th: Free Tickets Contest for My Fans

It’s that time again foodies! The OC Foodie Fest is upon us and the swarm of gourmet food trucks is  about to descend upon the Angel’s stadium parking lot. The OC Foodie Fest is like the Pied Piper attracting foodies from all of Southern California into a day full of gluttonous eating and debauchery. This years Foodie Fest will feature over 150 food vendors, including gourmet food trucks and local restaurants.   I will be at the OC Food Fest live reporting  on Twitter and Facebook. If you are there, look for the guy wearing the pig costume..that will be me! Oink! http://www.ocfoodiefest.com

 To win a pair of tickets to Foodie Fest, “Like” my page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/tomsfoodieblog and leave a Facebook comment what truck you would like to try at The OC Foodie Fest (hint: I have the trucks listed on this blog post).  I will be randomly picking a lucky winner on Thursday!

My tips for Foodie Fest

• Bring Cash, not all the trucks may be accepting Credit Cards
• Bring sunscreen and a hat, it may get warm
• Expect to pay for parking, it’s life just deal with it
• There will be some lines at the food trucks, I recommend getting there early
• Come hungry, but not starving.

I have included an excerpt from their press release, which may answer some of your questions.
