Ghost Kitchens & Catering In Pandemic w/ Miles Robbins of FourFortyFour

November 22, 2021 • Ariel D. Smith • Season 3 • Episode 39

Today's Show
Within the past year, I’ve received more questions about catering and ghost kitchens in particular. While experiences may vary by person and location, today’s guest utilized ghost kitchens to stay open at the onset of covid but shares with us why his restaurant plans will not include ghost kitchens in the foreseeable future.

Miles Robbins is the founder of FourFortyFour, a catering service in LA that is positioning itself to one day have a restaurant that will be listed as one of the best. Today we talk about his culinary journey and if a food truck will ever be added to the equation.

New Book by The Food Truck Scholar- "Before You Launch A Food Truck"
Ebook PDF ON SALE!!!
Paperback
Kindle

After traveling the country meeting and interviewing about 500 food trucks in the past 5 years through The Food Truck Scholar Podcast and academic research, Ariel D. Smith has compiled an abundance of information regarding the food truck industry from menu creation and marketing, to maintenance and regulations. One of the things she discovered over the years is that aspiring food truckers either do not have enough information or are overwhelmed with information and no clue where to start. Ariel designed this book to be the first touchpoint on your food truck journey. If you're in multiple online groups and reading big books about food trucks and feeling lost, pause for a moment, pick up this trimmer. What's best about "Before You Launch A Food Truck" is that it is designed for you to reflect before taking action. Once you have reflected on and answered the questions provided (pages to take notes on each section included!), feel free to jump back into the other resources you're using to birth your food truck dreams!

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.
