LA Yelp Elites Celebrate All Things Lime At TLT in Westwood

TLT food stands for "The Lime Truck,"winner of The Great Food Truck Race Season 2 on the Food Network. Their very first brick and mortar, opened in the heart of Westwood and hosted 100 Elites for a taste of All Things Lime!

Greeted at the door by Pali Wine Co., guests were offered a glass of the sauvginon blanc, or two different reds. Guests sat together community style and braced themselves for the six plus courses that were about to come out of the kitchen.

Things started off strong with the signature Brussels sprouts topped with prosciutto, garlic, chipotle honey aioli, cotija cheese and pickled red onion. Michelle K shares, "one of my favorites for sure. It was a daily special and immediately made me a fan of TLT Food!" Followed by wings that Matthew T raved about: "I really enjoyed the Spicy Sambal Wings which packed a nice spicy punch
that you could cool off with jicama strips and of course a wedge of
lime." Next was blistered bok choy with peanuts and sesame seeds and then their incredibly pork belly nachos. Rosalind C couldn't get enough. "My favorite dish had to be the pork belly nachos….man oh
man, the cheese sauce, the salsa, the salty sweet pork belly and the
fresh chips were amazing! I know what I'll be trying on my next visit!"

What's an event without dessert?! Sharon H admits, "If I really had to pick, the panko crusted nutella with bananas stole
the night for me. Although it was more of a french toast than a dessert,
I absolutely loved the concept and the textures and sweetness level was
perfect. I'd return to TLT for that alone! But, of course, the rest of
the dishes on TLT's menu are also beckoning me back for a second visit."

Owner and founder Daniel Shemtob gave a touching talk to end the night and shared how important Yelp Elites have been for him in growing his business.
