Gourmet Food Trucks Headed to Lake Forest Today

There is a good reason that food trucks have not been setting up at  as they have on past Tuesdays since early 2011.

The team behind vegan food truck Seabirds, which organizes the event at the bowling hot spot, had its hands full competing on the second season of Food Network's The Great Food Truck Race.

Tonight, gourmet food trucks are rolling back into town for the second time since the hiatus.

According to Forest Lanes owner Charlie Kinstler, about 100 people showed up last week. He expects more than that to come tonight, however.

Prior to the break, the Tuesday night dinner extravaganza drew hundreds, Kinstler said.

Now that the reality show, which premieres Sunday, is over, Seabirds is back on the road and headed to Lake Forest—along with some friends.

From 5:30 to 9 p.m. tonight at Forest Lanes, six food trucks will sell their wares, which range from Greek food to ice cream.

Here's the line up:

• The Flip Truck: gourmet sliders
• The Lime Truck: California beach cuisine
• Longboards: hand-dipped ice cream bars
• Louks to Go: Greek gourmet
• Seabirds: organic vegetarian
• Tasting Spoon: rustic Italian

Eat until 9 p.m., then head inside for bowling from 9 p.m. to midnight at Forest Lanes, at 22771 Centre Dr.
