The truck is a shade of pink worthy of local billboard icon Angelyne, with a graphic of a happy, seraphic-winged porker sailing through the clouds on the side. The owners are "Cordon Bleu dreamers" who are working out their dreams in pork – sandwiches of braised pork belly with red onion escabeche and beef and pork sliders with "banana mustard" on soft buns. There are tacos filled with grilled beef short ribs with "death sauce," spicy pork with cilantro cream sauce, tamarind duck with pickled beet salad, smoked chicken with green curry and crunchy tofu with kimchi. Oddly, there are crab balls. Not so oddly, there are "Flying Pig Fries" with a black-garlic aioli sauce. In this case, pigs really do fly.
