Photos in this post are from the OC Fair’s Pre-Party Event<\/a>, a taste of the OC Fair New Year’s Eve Block Party<\/a> happening\u00a0December 31, 2011 — We went last year<\/a> and had a blast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Garlic Scapes<\/a> guy handing out Deep Fried Artichoke Hearts with a Garlic Dipping Sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fried Spinach with Parmesan and Bacon from Bacon Mania<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Garlic Sliders from Garlic Scapes<\/a>, one of our favorite Gourmet Food Trucks<\/a> of the evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bleu Slaw and “Offensive” Baked Beans (that’s what they call ’em) were from Short Stop BBQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pre-Party glimpse\u00a0of Gourmet Food Trucks\u00a0— All to\u00a0be at the big\u00a0event on New Year’s Eve<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything we ate was excellent and the menus were sophisticated —\u00a0Impressive and rich.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Garlic Artichoke Dip and Chips are pictured above, and below are the mentioned samples.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We prefer\u00a0the\u00a0Artichoke Dip\u00a0to the Hearts — It had loads of flavor and the Chips were delicate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs from Piaggio<\/a>\u00a0were\u00a0two for $5 and couldn’t have been better.\u00a0 And\u00a0I got lucky this night too, by winning\u00a0a Tornado Potato<\/a> after spinning the pre-party wheel.<\/p>\n
