The first ever Valley Center Food Truck Festival took over Bates Nut Farm on August 18th. Check out our photographic follow up of the event to see what you might have missed.

 
On August 18th, 18 of the best gourmet food trucks in San Diego took over Bates Nut Farm, transforming the quiet Valley Center farm into a kingdom of mobile food glory. Food trucks such as Groggy’s Fat Sandwiches, Thai 1 On, Slow Cal BBQ, Underdog’s Gastro Truck, New York On Rye plus many others served up their gourmet creations to hungry guests from near and far. The event started off with a very large group of festival attendees, all looking to sink their teeth into food items ranging from BBQ to crepes, thai food to deli sandwiches, and bratwurst covered in mac and cheese to cookies and cupcakes.. As the event went on into the evening, groups continued to flow onto the farm grounds, turning the first ever Valley Center Food Truck Festival into a community get together that won’t soon be forgotten. Massive crowds filled the lots to get food, while families and groups of friends set up blankets and lawn chairs with coolers on the grass areas, making this event not only a festival of food trucks but also a Valley Center community “block party.” It appeared as the day disappeared into the night, that the word had spread throughout the community that the Valley Center Food Truck Festival was “the place to be that Saturday night!” Gourmet food trucks, live music and a kids’ zone all made up for a perfect weekend event good for the entire family. The Valley Center Food Truck Festival was a Lucks Media Group Production, presented by Valley View Hotel and Casino.
