THE FOOD TRUCKS
Darryl King faced a tough crowd when he decided to open a street barbecue business in Phoenix. “Everyone is from a different place; they want what they want,†he says of citizens’ cravings for familiar smoked and smothered meats. With a $25,000 investment and hands-on construction of his portable food trailer, King started Taste Rite (www.rite waycatering.com), which serves a menu of “out-of-the-box smoked meats†with multicultural flavors, and the tastes from back home–no matter where home may be.
