Building a Gourmet Food Truck "From Shell to Sell"

Recently I was lucky enough to spend some time at Wyss Catering Truck Manufacturing. One of the companies that has found a new group of customers. These customers are gourmet chefs, new culinary school graduates and entrepreneurs wanting to share their passion for foods of all kinds.

The featured truck is owned and operated by Claudia of Chunk-n-Chip. She was nice enough to let us photograph the truck being built and painted prior to the official launch August 28, 2010. The truck launched at the first OC Foodie Fest. The event was held at the Honda Center Anaheim, CA.

The Chunk-n-Chip Boo-Yah Truck is available for special events, festivals, catering and private events.

The truck was custom painted by Tiki Jay One a local artist in Los Angeles, CA. Web Site



If your interested in building a truck of your own send me an email and we can certainly help.

Los Angeles Food Truck Wars

I wrote this article originally for Save The Food Trucks, please pop over there and see all the other good information.
Many of you have heard about the ongoing controversy between the Miracle Mile Restaurants and City Councilman Tom Labonge and the new wave of Gourmet Food Trucks in LA. This link will take you to the KABC Talk Radio article with all the details.

You make your own decisions. Regardless exercise your right of free speech and let the elected officials in your city know your feelings.  You can shape the thoughts of your elected officials after all you hired them you can fire them. There is nothing that gets elected officials attention more than hearing from the people that give them money for their campaign, second is the people that vote for them.

Don't sit back and let the politicians decide where you can eat.
