Nice site, but will someone please open a pretzel and/or french fry cart. As an Irish Catholic, it is my dream pairing (lots of potatoes in Ireland, Catholic monks invented pretzels)!
I just visioned my hotdog/pretzel food cart and it’s location next to the kia dealer on 23/high st. no food places for 1/4 mile and great traffic flow. my fries will include 3 varieties…julianne fries, potato wedgies, and sweet potatoe fries…3 kinds of pretzels…regular, pizza’etzel, and cinn and sugar with vanilla dipping sauce…will include fountain drinks, topping bar for your fries, and 3 types of seasonings….table, season, and kosher salt n pepp mix. probably will take me 3 months to get things up and running
Love this site! So great to have alternatives to the traditional restaurant. We host a Labor Day Arts Festival and next year is our 45th and would love to do an all-food-cart event in 2011. It’s a fine art fine craft event and we get about 20,000 people. If you’re interested please email me so I can get in touch with you about the particulars.

Great site. Great showing some love to local Carts. But it appears to be a bit out of date now. some updates would be nice.
Other wise thanks! Lots of great food on the streets of C-bus these days!
We’re in the process of updating it, the trucks have been late getting going this year due to the weather.
Hey,
My name is Andrew Hessler, a student at Ohio University. I’m currently in the college of business doing a mock business plan for starting up a street vendor business. I have a quick question for you, if you have the time. How much market share does an individual street vendor establishment expect to gain upon market entry? Please let me know if you have any thoughts.
Thank You,
Andrew H.
To be frank, given the huge number of mobile food vendors out there, I’d think the market share would almost inevitably be tiny – even for the guys that open with a big splash. Seems it’d be more helpful to define an area (ideally smaller than the city as a whole), assess the number of vendors that work it, and then go from there.
Also check with the owners of the Burrito Buggy and other food carts on the OU Campus.
There’s a new sheriff in town!

I am a food truck newbie. How does one find a food truck and how can I arrange to have a food truck stop by our work place? I work in the Easton area.
Thanks!
April, the best thing is to contact the owner of the truck directly (via facebook, twitter, email or phone). Trucks like MoJoe TAGO, the cheesy truck and Fusion Cafe visit company locations. You would need to have space in the parking lot for them.
Brand new food cart to Columbus called Yellow Boy’s Polish Boy’s. I operate on Friday and Saturday nights and create this amazing sandwich that originated out of Cleveland,OH..What is it you ask???????? An all beef polish sausage dressed all up with what you have to see in order to believe. Follow me on Twitter @Yellowpolishboy to see my locations and to get more info!!!!
Hi Heidi (and anyone else out there that is interested in partnering with Food Trucks and Carts). One option is contact the Food Fort at ECDI. 614.559.0193. (I contacted Heidi directly with other options).
I was wondering if you could offer up some advice for me. I am looking to get two food trucks to cater our wedding. We are getting married at a private residence at the end of June. Do you know of any trucks that do this normally or would be interested?
There are several trucks in town that do catering. As with any caterer – try the food first and see what you think then approach the truck with a date, a budget and a range of foods you want to have. We did contact Mandy offline to give her suggestions but we unfortunately do not have time to serve as a broker for trucks and catering events. The trend to have trucks cater for lunch, special events and wedding is growing. Several weddings in Columbus have already tried this approach with success.
Love the website I was thinking about getting into the food truck biz and was wondering how does one go about getting into the festivals that you have listed on your website
