Food Truck Friday: Blu Olive

Today we ate at the Blu Olive! Our first Italian food truck experience. I got a chance to talk to the owner and ask him what his favorite dish was. He told us that it was the sweet Italian sausage sandwich. The sausage he made himself with meat from a local favorite Rife's Market! Yay supporting local business. We also sampled the meatballs. They were delish. Although we did learn a lesson today, that food trucks have a dilemma that restaurants don't have. We didn't have lots of selection, because the Blu Olive is popular and we went a bit later in the day. All of this adds up to food buying. For food trucks it is a guessing game. You don't want to buy too much and then have to throw it out not to mention the wasted money. Or buy too little and then have to cross things off the menu board. After talking with the owner we decided that although it can make customers unhappy buying too little is the better end of the deal, because people will come back to get what they want and it keeps the truck in demand. So happy food buying to our food truck friends! xoxo, Kasey & The Bliss Girls
