REVIEW: Gourmet Food Trucks at OC Fair and Event Center #FoodTrucks

My visiting sister-in-law's husband is a huge fan of Food Network's: The Great Food Truck Race Show so when I got her detailed itinerary, I saw that they wanted to visit gourmet Food Trucks. She mentioned there was one in Yorba Linda, but there are quite a few in OC and I remembered OC Fairgrounds have them so off we went to visit a Food Truck Fare adventure. (WARNING: You might get hungry looking at my pictures).
