Topic

Who doesn't love food trucks? We certainly do! That's why we are pulling together a panel of some of our favorites who are serving up delicious fare and using social media to engage and grow their customer base. Come and hear about how they started using social media and what they have found to work for them.

Panelists

@LobstertruckDC

Doug Povich, a 5th generation native Washingtonian, is co-owner of Red Hook Lobster Pound-DC which owns and operates the famous Lobster Trucks in the DC metro area. A communications and technology lawyer by day and a food trucker by night, Doug grew up spending summers at his family home in Maine, eating lobster rolls by the dozen. Ever since a fateful day at Farragut Square in August, 2010 he and his wife Robyn (aka "The Lobster Lady") and his partner, Leland Morris, have been spreading Lobstah Love, bringing a taste of Summer in Maine to his home town of DC. Doug is an advocate of the benefits that food trucks bring to local communities and is a founding member of the DC Food Truck Association and a member of its Board of Directors.- http://www.redhooklobsterdc.com

 

@CurbsideCupcake

"Curbside Cupcakes Washington DC’s FIRST mobile cupcakery!  Curbside Cupcakes is owned and operated by long-time DC residents, Sam & Kristi Whitfield.  We first hit the road in November, 2009 and we now have three trucks bringing the “Cupcake Bliss” to Washington DC, Arlington, & Montgomery County.  We sell cupcakes directly off the truck in any amount or assortment you’d like.  We also have a delivery service, where you can order cupcakes off the daily menu." - http://curbsidecupcakes.com


@BigCheeseTruck

"At The Big Cheese we LOVE cheese in all of its melty glorious gooey deliciousness. And we aren’t just using any cheese… We use artisan cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery and local farmers markets to make the classic favorite even more yummy. And where would grilled cheese be without its hot little friend tomato soup? Sad and lonely that’s where. So of course we are serving up that trusty sidekick as well. We can’t just put that kind of cheese on just any bread. So Lyon is our bakery. Founded by three like–minded friends in the spring of 2000 who are skilled in the art of gourmet artisan breads. Based out of Southwest, it’s local, it’s delicious enough said." - http://bigcheesetruck.com/
