With innovative cuisine rumbling in to Valencia from all over Southern California, you can bet Awesometown will be packed with hungry mobile gourmands chomping at the bit to try the latest meals on wheels. So work up an appetite and bring friends and family to the Bridgeport Marketplace at McBean Parkway and Newhall Ranch Road from 5 pm to 9 pm.

In case you haven't noticed, the mobile-munchie revolution has completely taken the Southland by storm. Whether it's an adaptation to the economy or just an idea that has finally bloomed, the modern chuck wagon has certainly evolved. In metropolitan areas gourmet food trucks park in easy access, high-visibility spots and attract huge crowds. In fact, a well-known food truck chef was just named one of this year's Best New Chefs by Food & Wine magazine.

Awesometown's Gourmet Food Truck Festival will delight hard-core mobile eaters and will introduce a universe of flavor to newbies. The event has already drawn more than 20 of the most popular-and delicious-on-the-go gourmets. So far, confirmed participants include The Dim Sum Truck, Fish Lips Sushi, The Munchie Machine, Great Balls on Tires, Border Grill Truck, DOSA Truck, The Gastro Bus, Vesuvio Italian Food Truck, Del's Lemonade, The Sweets Truck, Fresh Fries, Tapa Boy, The AhnJoo Truck, Krazy BBQ, Ludo Bites, Chef Brian's Comfort Truck, Lee's Philly, Fry Smith, Kabob Express, Bool BBQ and Sprinkles Cupcakes.
