Julia Robertson, a senior at Tech, explores various options to support her final year at school and weighs the option of hiring a food booth outside the institute for football games as she knows from her personal experience that during the games, people eat lot of food.…
Another goal that I want to complete is that of having a food truck to accompany the revenue that I am gaining from the restaurant. The strategy for this goal would be to use six months of the restaurants revenue along with six months of my saving to actually get the truck built. The truck will be used as another avenue to gain more customers. The goal with the truck is to reach more people. I figure that if we get a buzz with the actual restaurant we should be able to take off with the truck. The place of service would be Crystal City, Virginia. The…

I) Introduction: Fast Food Nation is a book in which Eric Schlosser did not hold any detail back. His ideas are very much similar to Hank Cardello who expressed his feelings in his best seller Stuffed and a article labeled Bacon as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. All of these topics touch upon the problem of obesity, low wages, and unethical issues.…
This past year I saved enough money to purchase my first livestock trailer. It is a bumper hitch trailer that can carry up to four beef animals. It is by no means fancy or new, but it works great when taking animals to county fairs, clinics, vet appointments, and other events. When traveling longer distances I have to support of many other beef producers if I choose not to use my own trailer (Not that my trailer could not transport long distance). This network of generous producers has helped me take calves to the Iowa State Fair, Stock Show University, and field days using their gooseneck trailers. My FFA chapter also owns its own livestock trailer that I have used.…
One bright early morning we headed to North Shore where we got to see a new part of Hawaii. It had different things to offer and we were excited to check it all out. Even in Honolulu we noticed some food trucks around and even though we heard only great things about them, the concept of the food being on the truck and served to us was still a little weird! When it came lunchtime, we, along with the rest of our group, decided to give the food trucks a try. The pricing was reasonable and came with a bunch of food and sides. Between the two of us, we had garlic shrimp, lots of rice, salad and coke. We were both very satisfied! Although they did not bring our food out at the same time, which happened at most places we ordered food yet, it was well worth the wait. This truck pictured above is the one we stopped at in North Shore and this particular company called “Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood Co.” has multiple trucks around Hawaii. We happened to be the only ones eating there at the time but I’m sure it gets plenty of business. We ate just behind the truck which was a covered area with tables. It was nice to be in the shade after a long day in the sun but we all noticed there were quite a bit of bugs annoying us. This was both of our first times eating from a food truck. We will occasionally see some in Michigan but usually only for events and they are usually not seafood. It seemed risky but we both agree is was a great addition to our time in North Shore. Julie took this picture on July 21st.…
Today’s America is fast paced, always moving with no time to relax and enjoy a well-thought out meal. With a plethora of fast-food joints lining each and every corner of our world, it is much easier and cheaper to settle for a combo at McDonald’s than a buttered-up, baked, lemon salmon with an arugula salad. The joy and happiness of gathering and sharing a meal has been abruptly transformed into a quick fix for hunger, no matter the consequence.…

They, and probably you, have been summoned here by a Twitter blast from the Kogi truck, a retrofitted catering van serving Korean short-rib tacos, kimchi dogs and other edible symbols of L.A.’s famous cross-cultural inclusiveness. Although seeming as a new idea, Los Angeles had actually already experience the blend of mobility and dining. The intersection between food and wheels has driven culture in L.A. since at least the 1930s, when the city was already famous for its drive-ins and roadside hash houses designed to look like coffee pots. Food trucks may be nothing new in the U.S. as it has been prevalent among every state, but in L.A., where on some afternoons they can be as thick on the freeway as taxicabs are on New York’s Sixth Avenue, they define the landscape. Trucks like Kogi represent mobility in a city that worships mobility; it is a vehicle that breaks down barriers of race, class and ethnicity; it is selling a social experience as much as it is selling Korean tacos. The experience. That is the best part about food trucks. I recall downloading a food truck app and tracking down The Grilled Cheese Truck for my…
ROCKVILLE, Md.—In the last two years, American street food has been reinvented and reinterpreted to reflect the changing ways Americans eat. According to “Street Food: Culinary Trend Mapping Report” from the Center for Culinary Development (CCD) and Packaged Facts, this food renaissance will bring more small plate snacking, more food products sourced and prepared in eco-minded ways, and flavorful global food, all fast, fun and handy.…
Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or vendor, often from a portable stall.[1] While some street foods are regional, many are not, having spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are also classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.[2]…
