Twittering Taco Truck // Current

Kogi BBQ is probably the most famous Korean BBQ twittering taco truck on the planet. Our own Ben Hoffman spent a night with this traveling party to find out more.

The infoMania Tech Report is a weekly segment where technology guru Ben Hoffman takes a look at the newest tech products, gadgets and video games. It has been called "the funniest tech show on the web." (No source for that quote is available at this time. In fact, there's a good chance it was made up.) For more Ben visit http://current.com/techreport/ and Current TV.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV. And make sure to check out our facebook profile for special features at http://infomaniafacebook.com.

- Wow. Perhaps the truck has some yet undiscovered luring affect on idiots. Like ants to a picnic. Except imagine most of the ants are dumb. And the picnic compares itself to unrelated great people.
  
  Worth exploring.
