Today’s guest is from the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. Tanesha Trippett of Brotherly Grub food truck and Jacobs Cafe stepped away from the hustle and bustle of business to talk to us about family legacy, her catering and food truck journey- before and during Covid. While many see a food truck as “pandemic and recession proof” that isn’t always case. City regulations can play a huge part in food truck success as well as other factors that this episode showcases.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve  learned a lot about what makes a good food truck stand out among the rest. I took 8 of those key concepts and created a book where I could have curbside conversations with each of you about them. This book  is not only digestible and not designed to overwhelm you, but also propels you into action. You can purchase Before You Launch A Food Truck TODAY at TheFoodTruckScholar.com/shop in paperback and ebook format as well as on Amazon.

Lately, I’ve been getting more questions about how much does it cost to build a food truck, and my answer is always “it depends, but it’s never cheap no matter if you do it yourself or get a custom build in the long run.” Today, I have another food truck builder,  Sharone Klinger of Master Chef Mobile Kitchens in Brooklyn NY taking the conversation even further. 

Today, we discuss why the question “how much is it to build a food truck” isn’t the most effective question to ask, the importance of having your menu ready and knowing your numbers, and so much more
