  • Well,

    Have you ever heard of Nom Nom Truck? Its a revolutionary food concept that came to my town, LA.

    Couple guys and gals in UCLA got together and start to formulate the success methods. The idea is simple, selling Vietnamese Frech Baguette ( just Vietnamese sandwiches). They combine between the success of Lee’s Sandwiches down in the OC and the mobile of Kobi Beef Taco truck to formulate Nom Nom Truck, and they place it right in the heart of Westwood ( UCLA).

    Bad food has been rooted in UCLA however, many students are struggling getting a nice meal after a cramp exam review session but unable to find a quick and nice meal. so that is where the Nom Nom Truck niche going to be.

    Even though they are anticipating the opening date of August 2009, LA Times blog and LAist.com has already catch on to their stories, and thousands of people has been dying to see the 1st Nom Nom Truck rolling around UCLA campus. I personally drolled myself.

    I am drooling, are you?

    I am drooling, are you?

    I talked breftly to David, the Nom Nom founder. It’s going to be a great success I tell ya. Keep up the good work guys, we will see you at the Truck soon.
