The (Yummy) Great Escape

The GREAT ESCAPE food truck visited the Pottery Festival at the Yanceyville Farmers Curb Market this past weekend. Vendors and shoppers alike were able to enjoy gourmet noodles and crepes. This food truck is owned by three young entrepreneurs in Greensboro: Jon Bohlen, Sam Shumaker, and Dallas Baker. The three chefs have joined forces under one mobile roof! From the above link, you can follow Great Escape's calendar of where they will set up each day.

Greensboro is seeing the food truck industry grow and grow. Greensboro has many young adults (20's-30's) starting their own businesses-- like the owners of GREAT ESCAPE.  Whether the businness are online, small booths in larger facilities, or mobile like the above, the trend seems to be away from the burdensome overhead of brick and mortar.  For those who want a business: Dream big, start small, and who knows where your idea will take you..... In the meantime, see you in line at a food truck. Follow the sounds of the vehicles that sound like they are still running. Follow the aroma of great food!

These Pottery Festival posts just get better and better!
I love finding a food truck to try out if it is new to me or re-visit if it is an old favorite. Southern California was st the forefront of the Food Truck movement along with many other urban metropolis centers.
I think back a few years ago the Kogi truck with their fusion Korean BBQ Tacos was the first truck I dined at...and still love!
We have apps on the phone and Twitter to track down mobile food finds when we want that kind of thing or better yet just pull over and find parking near one spotted driving by!
A favorite staple like an old friend is not actually a truck but a pick-up and trailer that does rich savory street style tacos in the same neighborhood nightly.
Great, I just ate lunch and now I am hungry again!
