Feel the Fusion

Dea Zazula

It is my sixth week visiting different food trucks and tonight I found one up in Chatsworth, parked in a spacious lot. It was easy to find using the truck tracker app. on my phone (it was free!) Anyway, I already knew that it was going to be a comfortable dinner when I saw a couple of picnic tables and chairs set up in the lot. The air also smelled so delicious.

"In Fusion" was one of the newest trucks I have been to so far. The menu had many different types of food, making it a little more difficult for indecisive people such as myself.

There were two workers on board and both of them were energetic and seemed super nice. The lady running the cash register was smiley and talkative. She was specific with details while talking about the menu, which showed her full knowledge of the product, making it easier for her to make suggestions. The cook was bobbing his head to the metal music they were playing.

Everyone seemed to be having a blast...While working!

Now back to the food. I was torn between the pork wrap and the bloody mary tacos until the lady in the front sold me on the wrap. She said it was a "must have" with the side of spicy Cajun fries, and how right she was.

I have honestly never been a huge french fry person, but these spicy fries were honestly the best thing I have ever tasted. I will definitely go back to this food truck just for those in the future. The wrap was stuffed with a large amount of tender meat. They also offered Sriracha sauce which made me a happy camper. I could probably eat Sriracha with just about anything, that is how obsessed I am.

Once I inhaled my meal, I still felt like I at least needed to try eating a dessert.

My friend and I decided to order the chocolate whiskey lava cake. This turned out to be just as delicious as it sounds. I didn't really taste much of the whiskey flavor, but the molten center sweetness was just right.

I would recommend this fusion truck to people who love flavor and spice. It's a great concept for a food truck because the diversity of the menu is able to cater to different pallets instead of focusing on only one type of cuisine.

Sushi Burritos!

Talk about a unique concept! It may sound strange at first, but there is method in the madness. Jogasaki Sushi Burrito specializes in making sushi rolls that resemble burritos.

Basically, the chef constructs a normal sushi roll (any type you'd like) and instead of cutting it the normal way, he just leaves it as one large piece.

Being a huge sushi fan, this was definitley a unique experience for me. I have ordered hand rolls in the past but even those are much different.

I decided to go with the salmon and spicy tuna roll. The sushi had chunks of salmon and tuna and was accompanied with avocado, spicy mayo and cucumbers. The entire thing was wrapped in rice paper instead of seaweed and then wrapped again in foil. The exterior really did look like a burrito.

I am not sure if it was the way that the roll was presented or if it was my imagination, but this sushi burrito was huge. Joga offers two sizes for their sushi burritos: a regular (which is what I ordered) and then a smaller size. 

The prices at this food truck were reasonable for it being fresh and delicious fish. Generally, sushi restaurants will serve their speciality rolls and price them between $9-$14; My roll was $12.

I ordered a Coke to drink while I got my sushi fix, plus it helped defuse the fire in my mouth from the spicy flavor of the roll. If you are a fan of spicy food I would strongly recommend ordering the "Chef's special spicy sauce" for 50 cents more. I asked the chef what it was made of and he told me that it was a secret recipe.

Needless to say, the red pepper sauce totally had a kick to it. It tasted both spicy and a tad bit sweet. 

The menu included other things besides the sushi burritos. There were regular cut rolls, hand rolls, miso soup, etc. If at all skeptical about getting sushi from a truck I would strongly encourage you not to be. The sushi was fresh, the service was super quick and the men running the truck were really friendly.

Oh, and try the green tea ice cream (called matcha) for dessert!!

Meat The Greek

 As soon as I got off of work today I came to "Meat The Greek"to grab some lunch. I was super excited that it was on my way home from work, which is in Hollywood. The truck was parked in a small parking lot behind a bar. This seemed like an odd place since all of the other trucks so far have been parked on the street.

The title "Meat The Greek" is pretty self-explanatory. It instantly made me think of Greek/Medittarean foo and items such as gyros, hummus, etc.

Although the menu had  things such as pita wraps, kababobs and olives, the contents were not exactly what I had expected. The pita wraps were made with either chicken or pork; those were the only two types of meat. To my dissappointment, there was no lamb on the menu.

I ended up ordering a pork pita wrap. The pita bread was stuffed with pieces of pork, lettuce, tomato, hummus, onions and french fries! It had good flavor but the meat was altogether too dry. However, stuffing the fries into the sandwich was a clever idea.

While I ate my lunch, I noticed that the lady operating the food truck was taking food orders into the bar and people were sporadically coming out to grab their pitas with beers in hand. I thought that this was a cool concept since I overheard that the bar itself did not serve any food.

Altogether, this food truck was filling but not completely what I had expected. All of the items on the menu were definitely on the pricier side. The pork pita that I had ordered was $8 for the pita itself, not including a side and a drink.

Being from Bosnia, I grew up eating a lot of Greek food. I can't help but to think that maybe that's why I was being a 'tough critic'.
