La Mirada~The gourmet food truck craze has now come to La Mirada.

La Mirada High School that is.

Every Thursday night from 5:30-9:00 p.m. the school site will host a gourmet food truck event with 6-8 vendors offering up creative street cuisine.

The event will serve as a fundraiser for the athletics department and will be held in the administration building parking lot.

Gourmet-on-the-go such as Los Angeles' famous Kogi taco trucks, have exploded in Southern California in recent years-creating a multi-million dollar industry. The recipe? Sophisticated food at reasonable prices.

"We have really seen a positive response from the different schools we have visited", said Danielle Murcia, booking manager for Curbside Bites,  "The schools can always use extra funds. It helps them out and it's a fun event for the community. It's really a win-win for everyone."

This Thursday's merchants include: Nom Nom Truck, Cheeseball Wagon, Crazy Creole Cafe, Naan Stop, Don Chow Tacos and Chunk N Chip.

The line-up of trucks will change weekly which you can find on our Twitter badge or by visiting us at www.twitter.com/lamiradablog.

La Mirada High School is located at 13520 Adelfa Drive in La Mirada, across the street from La Mirada County Regional Park.
