Some of Los Angeles’ most popular food trucks have teamed up for the Eat (RED) Drink (RED) & Save Lives campaign. It’s a joint collaboration between Bono’s (RED) organization that raises money to fight AIDS and the L.A.-based National Food Truck Assn. Participants include 70 food trucks slated to hit the L.A. area by June 1 and serve special dishes and cocktails benefiting the Global Fund through June 10. Some of the trucks participating are Bowled and Beautiful, M&M Food Truck, Don Chow Tacos, Komodo Truck, Grilled Cheese Truck, Recess and more. Eric Tijahyadi from the Komodo Truck has created a special (RED) Taco with beer-battered Alaskan cod, chipotle sour cream, pickled onions and red corn tortillas. Martha Stewart, Padma Lakshmi, chefs Mario Batali, Marcus Samuelsson, David Burke and more have all joined the campaign and created a video for it.
