Lucky Los Angeles: The South Philly Experience to serve local grub on wheels

Thanks to our girl Cathy of Gastronomy, a former Philly resident who now eats out of L.A., for putting us on to The South Philly Experience, an upcoming City-of-Angels food truck that aims to fatten up Cali with all our PHL specialties. A few details on the project, run by two local cousins (OK, dudes are from Jerz but we are still down), from the L.A. Times' Daily Dish blog:

As its name suggests, the South Philly Experience will offer South Philadelphia-inspired sandwiches: meatball subs, chicken cutlets, pulled pork with broccoli rabe and, of course, cheese steaks. Made on bread that will be shipped from the popular Amoroso's Baking Co. in Philadelphia [...]

You can also get a side of French fries, and to please East Coast transplants hungry for a treat that's rare in Southern California, dessert will come in the form of Tastykakes. Specifically, the truck will sell Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes, Butterscotch Krimpets and chocolate cupcakes.
