KoGi: Korean BBQ Taco Truck Uses Twitter To Make Big Bucks

submitted by dystopianfuturetoday

1 decade 5 years 10 months 4 weeks ago

Late last night after my gig I pulled into a gas station and noticed a taco truck with an unbelievably huge line. There must have been 200+ people in a line which extended clear clear down to the end of a large city block.

So I asked a couple in line what they were waiting for and they said 'Korean BBQ Tacos'. More specifically bulgoki, kimchi and a Korean garlic salsa on a tortilla. They told me that the crowds were due to the extreme tastiness of the product and the use of Twitter technology to let people know where they would be next.

I was too tired to wait in what was probably a an hour long line, but I did actually join Twitter when I got home in hopes of one day being able to taste these famous tacos.

Brilliant use of creative cooking and technology.

Yeah, the KoGi truck has been around up for for a while now. People will wait for over two hours to get some. Little do they know, they're just blindly following a stupid fad, because lots of Korean restaurants in LA serve bulgogi tacos.

They only recently started using Twitter, but their lines have always been that long.

KoGi is very good, but definitely not worth the wait.

I went last Thursday, if you give them an hour or so after arriving they're not that bad.

I like twitter, I like Kogi, but I especially like stand in lines.
