@JoelECarlson: Hello everyone! Are you ready for some great Tweets from the @ForkNroadTruck ladies? Lets get this TwitterReview started!
Q – #1 So first, how did you 2 ladies know each other before you started @ForkNroadTruck?
Amy & Kari: We grew up across the alley from eachother in South MPLS. Have been friends since we were 2 yrs old.
Q – #2 So how did you come up with the @forkNroadtruck concept? Had either of you been in the food/restaurant business before?
Amy & Kari: We always wanted to be part of a food business~Amy was living in LA lots of #foodtrucks there~neither of us are trained chefs.
we decided to take the mobile concept of a truck, to bring the food we love to cook to the fine folks here in MN
Q – #3 How did the concept of the menu for @forkNroadtruck come together? Where did you get ideas for it from?
Amy & Kari: Inspirations: from our friends & family. We like to put a twist on the ordinary: keeping things fresh and familiar.
We’ve always cooked with similar tastes. So, bringing together our menus is easy.
Q – #4 What are some of the regular menu items that you feature regularly or in rotation?
Amy & Kari: We always have our BBQ pulled pork grilled cheese w/caramelized onions. It’s a fav! Santa Monica BLT w/avocado garlic mayo too
We always have 1 or 2 vegetarian options daily as well~Roasted Red pepper & Fresh moz w/basil garlic mayo & arugula~egg salad
~sorry~hashtag! multi tasking in the truck and dropping food off at Black Forest.
Q – #5 I see. A big part of food-trucks is location, location, location. So where can people find you and your truck?
Amy & Kari: We post our menu and schedules on facebook at *Fork in the Road Truck* We use twitter to tell folks where we are NOW.
We just got done with Wednesday #foodtruckcourt on Kellogg Blvd,that always brings good crowds! Mon= we’ve been going to @mnhs
Q – #6 Good to know! Many trucks operate during the summer months. What is your “window” of operations in MN?
Amy & Kari: Last season: we stayed open thru the Winter months. That is open for discussion this next year ;)
We do expect to be operational thru the end of October~We’ll always be available for festivals and for Catering!
Q – #7 Any special events coming up? Any SPECIALS on the menu coming up in the near future? Special drinks?
Amy & Kari: This wknd is Jazz Fest in #MearsPark on Fri & Sat also on 7/16 is @TheBeerDabbler. Drinks:people love our Strawberry lemonade!
@JoelECarlson: Thanks to Kari and Amy of @forkNroadtruck for their time and Tweets today! I can vouch for their BBQ pulled pork, it’s yummy!
