    My resource for everything food truck related and beyond
    I happened upon this podcast about a years ago and it has been a gem! I learned so much from being apart of this community. As a new food trailer owner, I was lost on many of the nuances of food trucking. This podcast has grown me as a food trucker and I’m well on my way to success. From the contacts I have made through this podcast, I had my best day ever and sold out!!! Thanks for what you do and keep up the amazing work! Southern Roots Backyard BBQ

    Great podcast to learn about Food Trucks and how they are built, day to day, and what foods they serve. Great Job!!

    Unique podcast!
    If you are interested in food trucks this is a great entry into the details of what it takes, from probably the first PhD candidate to delve into the minutia.

    An Absolutely Outstanding Podcast
    Words can’t say enough about how helpful and resourceful the podcast is. I don’t remember how I found out about the Food Truck Scholar but I’m forever grateful. I am currently on my journey into the food truck world and without her podcast I wouldn’t be this far along. She put me in contact with @PopGoesTheWaffle who helped me get my food truck vendor drawings approved in Florida. Also her episode with @JackpotChicken help me save some money after I bought his book. All of the episodes are filled with knowledge and is worth the listen too. I look forward to hearing the podcast more than my favorite tv shows because it’s helping me and I am sure so many other people. Absolutely DOPE and UNIQUE!!!

    I’m here for this!
    I’m a bit of a foodie, and I love trying FoodTruckScholar when I travel. I love how the The FoodTruck Scholar interviews owners from across the US, especially those who otherwise wouldn’t have a platform to promote their business. I’ve tried several of the food trucks she’s featured from LA, and plan to try others. Thank you so much for why you’re doing! My family and I love the show!

    Laughing, learning, and loving this podcast!
    Just finished the episode with Dr. P. Gabrielle Foreman, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! I laughed out loud, learned so much about the intersection of food/culture/labor/love, and loved listening in on their thoughtful exchange. I want that veggie sandwich, though. For real. I can almost taste it!!
