The Story

With always wanting to have my own food truck, I have pondered for many years. “What is NOT a fry truck and how can I make people’s experience amazing?” So as my three kids and I sat at the kitchen table eating Philly cheesesteaks one night, Erika (aka Bartley Clowdy) said, “You should sell these on a truck.” It was at that moment when I realized, “What is this single dad of three doing wasting more time?” As I sat eating that meal, I watched Taylor and Marcus enjoying their sandwiches too and said, “Yeah this is it; I want a Philly cheesteak truck.”

I started the process by visiting the SLBDC, where they were happy to sit and guide me through a very long but rewarding process. Chris from the SLBDC spent time helping me put together a very detailed business plan, which allowed me to know my business before I even opened the doors. On August 3, 2013, after approximately one full year, we opened at 988 Confederation Street.

We have done catering jobs for ‎the likes of Hockey Canada, Canada Post, Mooretown Minor Hockey coaches and Imperial Oil. We have also done local charity events.
