"Street food culture can make a vibrant city," said Natalie Chavarie.

She's behind Food Wolf, an upcoming Korean-Mexican food stand.

Hmm. I know it's traditional in Korea, but does she really think advertising a form of dog is good marketing in Canada?

Seriously, what's wrong with dog?

I met Natalie yesterday and gave her some feedback on takeout food packaging. Super excited to try the offerings from both these food trucks.

Nice Brewnoser shout out in the most recent article.
Looking forward to seeing it in action, Nick!

Hope to see the truck around soon!

To quote a friend of mine... " 90% of North Americans can't tell the difference between fried dog and fried cat "

Thanks for all of the support guys!
Here is a quick update on some things.
By Law Changes: Jennifer Watts retracted her motion to council for a formal review. Instead she is sending it to the standing transportation committee for review. This will likely garner results faster and with less fuss than it going through regional council.

Nomad's startup: I have hired my chef (FINALLY!) and am working towards a firm start date. I have to wait for his 2 weeks notice to be up for him to start. That doesn't happen until the 29th. We will need a few days to work on final things if we have not completed them all by then. The soonest you will see us start is the first week of September. About that...
We are booked to vend for the 3 day SummerSonic concert on the Garrison Grounds Sept 7-9th. This is a big event and we will need to take some time to prep for it.

I will be on CTV News tonight at 5pm or so, they did a story on my truck today. We met up at my spot on Argyle Street.

NICE! I was planning on going to one night of Summer Sonic. Other years the food/beer has been complete shit. I'm assuming you'll be within the grounds?

Yes sir, According to Sonic Entertainment I will be the "main" vendor.

I guess I am a press hound these days...

Good story

Great one Nick!

Excited! That Andrew guy is hilarious, "They can do whatever they want, just not around me". Like the blogger they cut to after said, the more the merrier. If you're going out for a work lunch, maybe some people want fish and chips, some want BBQ pulled pork tacos. With the two trucks parked beside each other, the diners can still eat together.

That guy was funny. I was waiting for a smile after he said that Lol...

It's interesting that Andrew Baker is scared of competition but Glenn Tait (Bud the Spud) wasn't. Which says to me that Tait knows his fries can handle the challenge, and maybe Baker's can't.

Won't that violate the one location only aspect of your permit?

It is not municipal property. Private property is not under their jurisdiction.

Ah, yes. The city just wants to tax the place.

If you want to park you truck in my driveway I expect we could come to a tasty agreement.

He should park it at Hoptemberfest

Beef and pork tacos. They taste amazing, big fresh flavors!!

Dang, I missed the freebies. We need a twitter grabber from @NomadGourmet to this thread.

Yes sir that was a perfect way to start the Sunday. Thanks for the tour and congrats on break-in run in fine style Nick! Tacos were delicious

Looks good!

Do you make the tortillas?
