The Take On Prince George

In this deliciously real episode of Take on Prince George, we climb aboard the Baller Food Truck with Kate Hawley, a culinary powerhouse, and roll with flavour as we explore the PG street food scene.  From sizzling menu ideas to the balancing act of motherhood and mobile meals. You’ll hear what it takes to thrive in Prince George’s growing food landscape, how long hours and community support fuel the journey, and why food truck camaraderie is a secret sauce of its own.

Expect talk of flavour fusions, local love, food truck friendships, and what it’s like to build a business from the driver’s seat (literally). Plus, a few tasty teases of what’s cooking this season.
