The Mobile Chowdown kicked off this morning in the West Seattle Junction from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm on October 2.
There was an estimated 6000 people who showed up to chow down on some great tasting food.
23 mobile food trucks from all over the Seattle area, including one from Walla Walla, lined up down the middle of California Avenue between SW Oregon St and SW Edmunds St. There was a lot of different food to choose from ranging from mexican, indian, vietnamese, and of course the all american burger and pizza.
For many people the lines were long with waits as long as 45 minutes but the wait was totally worth it.
One food truck, A Lunch in Hand, ran out of food in the first 45 minutes of opening and had to call for more food due to the popularity.
Another truck, Buns on Wheels was serving up flame broiled burgers voted among Seattle's Top 5 Burgers on the Thrillist.comwhich caused waits of over an hour to get burgers by the name of Fancy, Cheesey and Ferrari.
