    42. Food truck lessons from Temple University – and a look at 2023 from Food Trucks 2 Go

    What happens when a university becomes a food truck hub? How do food trucks honor public rules and regulations while they are on university property? What is the history of food trucks anyway?  This is what the students in the Managing History graduate class at Temple University were challenged to research – and much more. We speak at length with one of the grad students involved. And, Janet Prensky I discuss our plans for 2023 for our Food Trucks 2 Go catering division as corporations book food trucks to welcome – or lure back -- their employees. Happy holidays to foodies everywhere, especially foodie fans and supporters of food trucks. Keep on truckin’ – we all appreciate your support

    Tis the season to be grateful for what we have – and to remember those who need our help.  We speak first with Meagan Forbes from the Institute for Justice about efforts in Massachusetts to review regulations for food trucks – and then we talk with the Colemans from Southwest Florida who fed folks right after Ian hit – but have since lost their truck to the floodwaters and now need our help. They are on Facebook if you’re looking to make their holiday season a bit brighter. Thanks in advance.
