On this Day, Dec.11 the theme was giving back. There was over 15 plus gourmet food trucks of various cuisines from great eatz to sweets along with a special appearance from P. Miller and his lovely daughter Cymphonique Miller whose charities include Urban born. This event was about food trucks raising awareness about children who might not have a Christmas with the joy of opening presents. Eric Nakata of the Japanese-Peruvian fusion truck Lomo Arigato was able to use his contact with P. Miller and his close relationship with Vizzi truck to put on this great event about giving back to less fortunate children through their charity The Boys and Girls Club of San Pedro. See awesome pics of kids with gifts.
