If there was ever a defining moment in Palm Springs to show the demand for great food done well, it was Saturday's
Palm Springs Food Truck Festival. An estimated 10,000 people swarmed the downtown Spa Casino parking lot to taste the creations from 65 food trucks.
These aren't the "roach coaches" of construction site fame. These food trucks are award-winning and media darlings. Some have cult-like followings, noted by long lines for their sandwiches, ice creme bars and world cuisine.
Here's Not to be Missed's four-course lunch:

Let's hope that this becomes an annual event and I'll starting dieting for it beginning tomorrow!
