The Food Truck Scholar

Food Trucks & Oral History w/ Dr. Janis Thiessen of Manitoba Food History Project

Ariel D. Smith Season 3 Episode 29

Todays guest is a Canadian food historian and academic researcher that is out here living one of my dreams, collecting stories about food in a food truck!

Dr. Janis Thiessen is a History Professor at the University of Winnipeg and a principal investigator for the Manitoba Food History Project.

Today we talk about the importance of oral history and making research interactive and engaging with people at all levels within and beyond the academy

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. You can purchase Before You Launch A Food Truck TODAY at TheFoodTruckScholar.com/shop in paperback and ebook format as well as on Amazon.
