The first food trucks were pulled by horses, which often ate all the ingredients themselves and were forced to earn the money back by arranging fixed races with their friends. Gallop toward savory satisfaction with today's Groupon to the 2012 Palm Springs Food Truck Festival held Saturday, February 4, 11 a.m.–5 p.m. at the Spa Resort Casino parking lot. Choose between the following options:

  • For $10, you get two general-admission passes (a $20 value).

    • Early admission at 10 a.m.
    • Free water and soda from event-sponsored booths
    • Entrance to the postfestival Meet-N-Greet mixer
    • Entry into drawing for a free weekend to Las Vegas

The 2012 Palm Springs Food Truck Festival, organized by PBS TV–host Cliff Young, beckons patrons of all ages to nibble on varied high-end cuisine from more than 40 of Southern California’s food trucks. The mobile eateries showcase their finest belly fillers throughout the parking lot of the Spa Resort Casino, free of the typical traffic jams and living shopping carts. Great Balls on Tires' experienced Californian chef whips up savory meatballs, and the Mandoline Grill truck transports vegan-friendly Vietnamese fare. Serving the same dishes as its eatery operating since 1963, the Pie N’ Burger truck comforts tongues with traditional American eats.

VIP guests are also awarded added bonuses, including complimentary beverages and entrance to a postfest mingling session with the truck owners, making them feel as cherished as an aloe plant at a fire-walking ritual.

Palm Springs Food Truck Festival

More than 50 food trucks will roll in from all over Southern California this year for the Palm Springs Food Truck Festival, a culinary event organized by Cliff Young of PBS' Out to Eat. Participants range from Oooh La La Crepes to Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs, a truck specializing in encased meats such as cilantro-infused duck sausages or Zonker Stout Habanero Cherry Buffalo brats. Festival-goers can also snack on free samples, sip brews in a beer garden, or digest to the beat of live music.

Groupon Says

The Groupon Guide to: The Ultimate Snowman

Any fool with a pair of mittens can construct a passable facsimile of a human out of powdered frozen vapor, but it takes a true Picasso of precipitation to create a frosty masterwork. Follow these tips to create a snow sculpture that will endure forever, unless the temperature rises even slightly:

Stack ‘em High: While traditional snowmen are comprised of three snowy spheroids stacked in ascending size for a more stable base and welcoming maternal curves, there’s no reason to stop there. Continue adding snowballs until your snowman is a gently tapering caterpillar towering gingerly into lower orbit—then decorate its face using a remote-controlled helicopter.

Don’t Mess with a Classic: Carrot noses were introduced in the 1600s to ridicule Guy Fawkes, a famous waster of then-precious vegetables. Keep his legacy alive today by shoving a carrot into your snowman’s face. If unavailable due to rabbit plagues or juicing fads, just steal a traffic cone from your nearest miniature village.

Attain Anatomical Accuracy: Keep your snowman’s proportions frighteningly human by having a friend volunteer to act as an armature for you to pack snow onto. He belongs to winter now.
