About this episode

The episode explores the opportunities and challenges faced by food truck operators in Ireland.

Food trucks have become a major part of Ireland’s food scene, bringing everything from gourmet burgers and wood-fired pizza to seafood, Asian cuisine, and locally sourced produce directly to customers.  But behind the popularity of the movement is a challenging business model, with rising costs, licensing issues, competition, and the ongoing struggle to find suitable locations.  Today, Bobby looks at the opportunities and obstacles facing food truck operators in Ireland with: Kwanghi Chan, Bites by Kwanghi Julia Hemingway, Julia's Lobster Truck Nathan Diamond of Ginger’s BBQ
