Another year has passed, and Thanksgiving is back. This is the time of year that we reflect on those things that we are so thankful for. Our typical list includes some of the usual – family, country, and employment during challenging times, but we have come up with an additional list of 10 things we are thankful for within the food truck industry, and wanted to share it with you.

“My restaurants are never opened on Thanksgiving; I want my staff to spend time with their family if they can. My feeling is, if I can’t figure out how to make money the rest of the year so that my workers can enjoy the holidays, then I don’t deserve to be an owner.” – Michael Symon

  • The spread of positive coverage of the industry within the mainstream media.
  • The time, effort and donations that people in the industry have given to help organizations that help feed the needy.

You are our readers, the people we write for and about. No other business community has such a loyal group of members and we hope for continued success in our coverage  and the industry as a whole. So when we cut into our holiday birds and reflect on all the things for which we’re thankful, one of the biggest will be the fact that we have this industry.
