The Marvel Vs Capcom 3 event brought to you by the creative team at SA Studios Global whose lead by 2 of the most creative artists in the industry Mister Cartoon and Estevan Oriol, Capcom USA, and Marvel Characters, Inc was jam packed with gamers from all over California and abroad. Some even stood on line outside the Kim Sing Theatre in Los Angeles from 10:00 PM the previous day just to get a chance to play what looks to be one of the hot new games out for PS3 and 360 gaming consoles, which is due out February 2011. Special thanks to Patrick from LA Street Food App, Emily Shen from SA Studios Global, Melody Pseiffer of Capcom, and Marvel Characters, Inc, and all other contributors not mentioned. Awesome Event!

The Event was the proving ground for 2 awesome chefs, Eric Greenspan and Ludo Lefebvre to battle their culinary expertise in creating an inspired dish by the gaming company that they were selected to have a knock down and drag out Food Fight in two of LA's hottest food trucks. Enjoy Capcom and SA Studios interviews.

The Capcom wrapped Mandoline Grill Vietnamese inspired truck owned by Mong Skillman was represented by Chef Eric Greenspan who owns The Foundry on Melrose and defeated Iron Chef Bobby Flay on Iron Chef TV show. Chef Greeny his twitter handle created his dish inspired by the Capcom's Ryu Character's special defense weapon by naming it the Ryu FireBall! It was created with Asian flavors in mind; served in a chewy grilled pork bao bun, thinly sliced soft pink Ahi tuna, crunchy cabbage, with a spicy sriracha miso-mayo dressing, and top off with lovely pork cracklings. I think I heard the heavens open as I took my first bite, off the hook!  See interview and pic below.

The challenger of the Marvel truck was Chef Ludo Lefebvre's small bites inspiration represented by who else, Chef Ludo himself, but of course! Chef Ludo's inspiration was Marvel's famed Hulk character. The inspiration was green and bold. Chef Ludo used 3 types of meat; sirloin, chuck, and brisket, along with stuffing his burger with Velveeta cheese to create his own "Juicy Lucy" version inspired by a Minnesota based eatery called Matt's Bar, served on a potato spinach infused brioche bun, homemade onion jam, green tomato that created a radioactive colored gourmet ketchup, and fried onion strings to top off a juicy and delicious Hulk inspired burger with a side of delicately seasoned pomme paille (Shoe String Potatoes). See video interview and pic below.
