 Local businesses in the Zaferia-South Design District, located in Long Beach on Coronado Avenue just north of Anaheim Street, have teamed up to create a weekly gourmet food truck gathering called Lunch Truck It. The first of these gatherings took place on Wednesday, May 4, included five popular food vendors and drew a huge crowd of curious foodies.  

Here, Carl Dene, owner of Vision Design Studio, speaks about the ZaSo Design District, and the effort to bring food trucks there. Jaquleen Larson, a creative strategist for Vision Design Studio, speaks about the efforts of the Food Truck Task Force, which did extensive research and testing before selecting participants for the 12-week test run.
