"Tuesday Dinner"

"Tuesday Dinner" has become somewhat of a tradition for me. It all began about seven weeks ago when I first visited Heirloom LA's food truck parked outside of Everson Royce on Raymond in Pasadena, CA. Prior to my first visit, I inadvertently educated myself by becoming familiarized with the company Heirloom LA via Instagram. Mesmerized at some of the pictures of edible goodness and sometimes becoming puzzled at their event photos- because I didn't know what this company's objective was... clearly it wasn't a restaurant based on their numerous outdoor activities. It turns out they are a catering company based in Eagle Rock, CA, and they showcase their delicacies on a weekly basis in three cities via food truck: Silver Lake on Mondays at Silver Lake Wine (@silverlakewine on Instagram,) Pasadena on Tuesdays at Everson Royce (@evrowine,) and in Los Feliz at Barsdall Art Park (@barnsdall.)

I was educated very briefly in person on my first visit by a neatly dressed man after I got my first-ever "farm-to-table" meal about the mission of Heirloom LA. As I remember, this company utilizes locally-grown produces and grass-fed meats to make the most scrumptious, tasteful well-balanced flavors in superb presentation. The food spoke for itself, and I no longer needed an introduction from this well-groomed man from the truck who thanked my "follower-ship" with a complimentary panna cota (the dessert of the day.) Now, this kind of great customer service deserves a second visit. 

Anyway, my second visit turned into a third, then a fourth... and now, dinner at the Heirloom LA truck on Tuesdays has become a delicious tradition. 

My first meal from Heirloom LA- "Breakfast for Dinner" night. 

Complimentary panna cota. Thank you, Heirloom! You've got yourself a regular! 

Quite possibly the best thing I've ever had. Roasted pork belly with crispy polenta and treviso salad with accugatta sauce. Second Tuesday Dinner at Heirloom LA. 

Fast-forward to Tuesday Dinner #6- pappardelle with grass-fed meatballs. they make their own pasta, and this particular dish was phenomenal. 

I look forward to what's in store tonight, my Tuesday Dinner #7!
