We are covering…. THE FLIP TRUCK!
Welcome to The Flip Truck!
We use only the highest quality and best ingredients we can find to give our friends really REALLY good sliders that will keep them coming back again and again!
Here’s the real deal of what we’re serving-up on The Flip Truck…Prime, All-Natural Red Angus Beef from Montana, American-Style Kobe Beef from Hawaii, Wild-Caught Pacific Ocean Ahi, All-Natural Jidori chicken (raised happy in California) and the freshest Organic or Farmer’s Market produce. The bread is fresh-baked every day and most cheeses are hand-chosen local Artisan. Sauces are all made on the truck…we even offer really cool, super-refreshing Hawaiian Sun drinks…Chef Heidi’s favorite growing up in Kona! And the kicker…our “Lou-Wow” fries – fresh ground Pink Peppercorn and Hawaiian Alea Sea Salt to top off every oder!
We’re Flippin’ for you and we just know you’ll Flip for us too!

On Saturday, November 19th, SoCo Certified Farmers’ Market will host its Farm to Food Truck Challenge II. The event is a farmers’ market inspired cooking competition pitting top Gourmet Food Truck chefs against each other to create the best dish using locally grown farm fresh ingredients. Over 15 gourmet food trucks will be hosted during the weekly farmers’ market from 9am-2pm with selected trucks competing.
The event is a Food Network TV Show “Chopped”-style competition. Food truck chefs will have only 60 minutes to shop the farmers’ market for its pre-determined seasonal ingredients and then whip up a culinary masterpiece. The dish will be served to a panel of top foodie judges to be judged on creativity, taste and presentation. The winner will be crowned the ‘Top Chop’ Truck! The Challenge kicks off at 12pm, judging begins at 1pm and the Winner announced at 1:30pm.
The festivities will also feature live music, kid-friendly activities and plenty of free parking. The event is held in conjunction with the SoCo Certified Farmers’ Market, which is held every Saturday at South Coast Collection (“SoCo”) (the 3300 block of Hyland Ave) in Costa Mesa from 9am-2pm.
Our first Farm to Food Truck Challenge witnessed Bacon Mania being crowned ‘Top Chop’ Truck. The event had over 3,500 people in attendance with over 20 farmers’ market foodies, bloggers, photographers and volunteers capturing all the action.
