The sandwich, proper, gets its very own national day of celebration, but for no reason other than why not? this morning we are honoring the breakfast sandwich. Constructed as something either portable or knife-and-fork-able, with a myriad of adaptations from bread to spread, and, quite literally, everything in between, the breakfast sandwich can be part of your routine (like that low-fat, turkey bacon Starbucks drive-through version for the commuter's a.m. crisis) or an indulgent treat (anything with a croissant, perhaps). We salute you, breakfast sandwich. Rise and shine! more ›

The adorable Japanese pop culture icon Rilakkuma (Relaxed Bear) is going to make his first U.S. appearance at JapanLA this Saturday night. This bear loves pancakes, so the Buttermilk Truck will be park out front to serve pancakes, waffles, donuts and more. The first 30 people wearing Christmas themed outfits will get free pancakes and there will be prizes for the most outrageous Christmas outfits. Also the first 100 people will receive San-X goody bags with a San-X purchase. Rony's Photobooth will be there to take pictures of Rilakkuma and guests. The 7 to 11 p.m. event is at Japan LA (648 North Fuller Ave.) more ›

For past week or so, the people behind the Buttermilk Truck have been sneaking around town, previewing its food to whoever came upon it. Although the truck officially debuts Wednesday evening with its late-night menu (think fried chicken and waffles and the Buttermilk Brick--hash browns, eggs over easy, buttermilk biscuit and a housemade chorizo gravy), the truck arrived for a not-so-secret sneak peek of its morning menu at yesterday's Silver Lake Art Craw event at Barnsdall Art Park. more ›

For the past couple of months, two trucks have teased us as they prepped for their debut. The Grilled Cheese Truck tempted us with delicious photos before launching with great success last week. Up next is the Buttermilk Truck, which launches next week Wednesday at The Brig in Venice. With a breakfast and a late-night menu, there's a handful of items that sound savory. For example: the Hawaiian Bread Breakfast Sliders have Portuguese sausage, sauteed onions and shoyu scrambled eggs on Hawaiian bread. more ›

Get ready for some breakfast street food. Eater LA confirms that "Team Buttermilk Truck has officially confirmed the mobile vendor's November 11 launch date." And it won't just be pancakes and applewood sausages. At night, look out for chicken and waffles and the Buttermilk Brick. more ›

Like sunny skies and Ugg boots, the current trend of gourmet food trucks remains in perpetual motion here in Los Angeles. Just a couple of weeks ago the Grilled Cheese Truck got people salivating with their cheesy "Pre-Melt" event held at the Farmer's Kitchen adjoining the Hollywood Farmers' Market in preparation for their roll out, and this week has seen the official on-four-wheels debut of both Downtown Dog (hot dogs) and the Flying Pig Truck ("Asian Fusion with French Technique"). more ›
