Donde Comer, 12/12 to 12/13: Las Vegas' El Shuko Truck is Delivering Guatemalan Hot Dogs to L.A. This Weekend

Great news my friends, the El Shuko Truck is setting up in Los Angeles this weekend which will give you a chance to try Guatemala's famous shucos (Guatemalan hot dogs) and mixtas (hot dog tacos) along with some tasty Guatemalan antojitos (little whims). 

I've been following the only shuco truck in the U.S closely and am happy to report that after the New Year, the El Shuko Truck will be permanently stationed in L.A. I was formally introduced to shucos a year and a half ago while touring Guatemala, and this truck run by Cristian Guzmán is representing this traditional hot dog with pride and flavor. Don't miss it.

Street Gourmet LA, A Food Related Snapchatter to Follow in LA Magazine's Digest

My Los Angeles Magazine colleague and cocktail writer extraordinaire, Caroline Pardilla, aka Caroline on Crack, recently included me in a roundup on Los Angeles Magazine's Digest of food related Snapchatters  to follow for my street food crawls throughout Latin America and mad heckling skills.

And there's even more as I explore a full array of dining experiences from the finest tables in Latin America, L.A. as well as other international destinations to the colorful world of mom and pop eateries and street food temples.

Snapchat is a social media platform that I've embraced for its ability to bring followers along for the ride, giving them a genuine experience unobtainable on other media like Instagram and Twitter. So, what are you waiting for? Vamos a comer! @streetgourmetla on Snapchat
