Mighty Boba Truck Comes to LA 18 { jennifer }

Just in time for Summer!

The Mighty Boba Truck—a gourmet food truck that creates delicious Taiwanese food and Boba teas – came to LA 18 for a private event! Delicious lunch set boxes with boba drink!

All LA 18 Employees were excited for some Taiwanese eats and refreshing boba tea drinks to satisfy their palates.

This was our first time ever having a food truck come to the station to cater. We didn’t know what to expect and had to plan accordingly.

Our VP of HR and I set up a useful staggered lunch schedule to prevent any carmageddon-type back up of hungry employees. It worked out great!

Convenient + Delicious Food = Happy Employees, right?
