A Taste of N.Y. in the U.K. w/ John Lashley of Brooklyn Brownie Co

August 24, 2021 • Ariel D. Smith • Season 3 • Episode 26

The Food Truck Scholar Podcast doesn’t just introduce you to your foodie cousins across the country but your family around the world. From Switzerland to Canada to Australia, the Philippines and everywhere in between folks from all over have been tuning in and sharing their stories this season with more to come. Today’s guest is currently based in the UK but hasn’t forgotten his Brooklyn roots. John Lashley and his son Leo are the proud owners of the Brooklyn Brownie Co in North Hampton, UK and who have taken a moment of pain and produced something powerful and positive that the community is rallying behind. I sat down with John to learn the story behind the decadent treats he creates with his son and also learn some other talents he had rolled up his sleeve. And trust me, you wouldn’t be able to guess what else this guy does!

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.
