Adam Vaught: Oops Creamery

July 27, 2020 • Ariel The Food Truck Scholar • Season 2 • Episode 12

I scream you scream, we all scream-oops??? No, I didn’t make a mistake there. Today’s guest is someone known for taking unexpected mishaps and turning them into delicious ice cream. Adam Vaught is the proud owner of Oops Creamery in Detroit Michigan and the mastermind behind a few ice cream flavors I can wait to get my hands on in this summer sun. Today, we discuss some of our favorite memories with cake and ice cream, a 90s slow jam, and his plan to enter into the food truck industry

Over the past 5 years, I’ve learned a lot about what makes a good food truck stand out among the rest. I took 8 of those key concepts and created a book where I could have curbside conversations with each of you about them. This book is not only digestible and not designed to overwhelm you, but also propels you into action.
