Welcome to The Food Truck Life!

Hello, Food Truck lovers / owners / slingers / enthusiasts! This is my very first blog post, and I’m super excited to share my experiences (past, present, and future) with all of you. I started this blog because I had the pleasure of working on The Peached Tortilla & The King’s Hawaiian Food Truck during SXSW in Austin, Texas this year. I had no idea going into it that those experiences would end up being one of the most rewarding and enjoyable times of my adult working life. Backstory: I come from a corporate background in both the aviation and real estate industry, and even though I had dabbled in food service when I was younger, I never really enjoyed myself. I felt like I had encountered a lot of bad attitudes, passing of the buck, and hazing, none of which I’m a fan of. It wasn’t until I worked on a Food Truck that I realized how different the environment is from an actual brick and mortar (which I’ll go into more depth in some later posts). Needless to say, I completely fell in love with the food truck life!

After SXSW, I got picked up for a gig as an Executive Assistant for Ms P’s Electric Cock food trailer. Since it’s my full-time job now, I thought it would be fun to keep up a blog about my experiences working on the trailer, and other various food trucks as I get deeper into this whole new world. In addition to writing about my perspective (challenges, rewards, mistakes etc), I’m also going to be posting foodography (photography of Food Truck food), as well as interviews with Food Truck owners around the United States. I hope you’ll stay tuned, and thanks again for coming along for this delicious ride!
