I am currently in San Francisco - a combination of work and fun. My cousin, who lives out here, took me to an event called Off the Grid - San Francisco. It is basically a gathering of a whole lotta food trucks featuring dishes from around the world (Peruvian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Mexican, etc) gathered in one location and accentuated by live music and many people attending. It was easy to spot the favorite food trucks because the lines were quite long. However, there wasn't one line that I stood in that disappointed once I my order was served up. The few items I was able to sample were all delicious.
The one food item I'd like to highlight came from Koja Kitchen. I had the Korean Short Rib Koja - at least I think that's what it was called. It was absolutely divine! Take flavorful Korean short ribs, add in just a bit of lettuce, put that between two "rice buns" and you have one of the most inventive "burgers" I've ever tried. The short ribs were flavorful. The sesame seeds added just a hint of its flavor. By far and large, I loved the idea of the buns made out of rice. If you've ever made rice and have eaten the stuff at the bottom that sometimes sticks to the pan, that's what it's like - rice with a bit of crunch to it. In one word, if you get out here (or anywhere else where there's a Koja Kitchen truck) you've gotta try it!
