On Monday night, a street food-themed Citymeals-on-Wheels benefit brought together more than 40 food trucks and a group of acclaimed chefs who served upscale versions of street food (Michael Psilakis made pork shoulder "gyros") in the name of charity. The highlight for some was undoubtedly the NYC debut of the Kogi truck, a Los Angeles based Korean BBQ taco concept that has taken the West Coast by storm—Kogi and the Dessert Truck even offered a special $4 combo plate Monday at noon as a warmup to the benefit, and a huge line formed despite the well-publicized fact that only 200 portions of Kimchi quesadillas would be available. Midtown Lunch also broke the news that Kogi will come to NY, probably later this year, and Lee Anne Wong of Top Chef will oversee Kogi-NY operations. more ›

When we mentioned Kogi BBQ, LA's breakout food truck, yesterday, a reader pointed out that the Korean BBQ-inspired Mexican food will be available for one hour today! The Kogi BBQ team, in town for a Citymeals-on-Wheels benefit, explains on its website, "It’LL be the Dessert Truck parked out on Lexington and 55th, but once those doors fLip open, it shaLL be the KoGi crew on the inside. We’LL be there from noon-1PM and then POOF! we’re outta there... NYC, let’s kick it à la ride-or-die styLe." And on its Twitter feed, it's the more intriguing: "NYC, WE ARE COMING FOR YOUSE" According to Midtown Lunch, there will be 200 Kogi-Dessert Truck sampling plates available for $4/plate—dare we predict a foodie mob?
