Eat Out. ESPN World Cup Match Truck.

Well surprise, surprise: L.A. has been hit with yet another food truck. This one, however, sure has some hype going with it--not only is it being sponsored by ESPN in honor of the World Cup, but it also happens to be backed by food truck godfather Roy Choi (of Kogi fame). Talk about an unbeatable matchup!

So what's the final score? Our special foodie correspondent was out on the field for a preview tasting, and tells us that overall, everything was pretty tasty, adding extra flair to 'worldly' fare. She tipped that the lamb gyros are the way to go--"easily the best of the three items sampled." She also liked the Kogi-popular sliders, which I've tasted before and absolutely loved (they use sweet Hawaiian rolls!). Check out more of her review here, and the rest of the menu on Grub Street.

And while you're picking up your worldly food, the truck will be conveniently screening all the World Cup matches live in HD. You'll practically have the world in your hands! (ha) See the full schedule here (it corresponds to the matches, so be ready to get up early!).

NB: For more food truck action today, hit up Americana at Brand tonight at 6pm for another edition of Street Feast, featuring the Grilled Cheese Truck, Coolhaus (who's giving out FREE ice cream sandwiches all week!) and more. Happy eating!

Eat Out. Street Feast at Americana at Brand.

Trying to trace and chase after the ever-so-popular gourmet food trucks is half the fun or half the trouble, depending on how hungry you are. Tonight, you can bypass the tweets and Facebook posts and finally just get to eating already.

Some of the most recently popular food trucks, including the Grilled Cheese, Buttermilk and Dim Sum trucks, are taking part in Street Feast, a mobile cuisine fest grounded at Glendale's Americana at Brand. Some of Americana's brick-and-mortar restaurants are joining in too, bringing in specials like happy hour at Katsuya, wine from Trattoria Amici and signature tacos from Frida Mexican cuisine, along with a live DJ and contests and raffles.

And with Crumbs Bake Shop and Beard Papa's right on site, dessert is all set. Happy eating!

Street Feast will take place 6pm-9pm tonight at Americana at Brand, located at 300 S. Brand Ave., with the trucks reported to be lined up long Caruso Ave.
