The Foodtruck A-Palooza

Summary

The food truck has become the end all–be all of favorite eateries in Pittsburgh, and the variety excites ‘burghers even more. So, the foodtruck frenzy at the Monroeville ExpoMart made sense to park our podcast. We enjoyed a vast array of food, live music, a craft market, vendors and voted for Pittsburgh’s best food truck. We welcomed Mac McAfferty, Parade Chairman and Maggie Cloonan, Grand Marshall of the St. Patty’s Day parade. Plus, Paul Furiga, President and CEO Wordwrite Communications, weighs in on the significance of YaJagoff and 100! We were lucky to have Chandler Carranza from Ole Smokey take a break from his booth to share spirits.

We are at the GoodTastePGH Food Truck A Palooza. From bites to specific entrée options and even desserts, we kinda put the looza in this indoor foodtruck phenom. The smells linger but John and Rachael chat up the impending parade and Rust signing at The Foundry on March 24th.

Shawn Snyder, Monroeville VFD #6 are the benefactors of some of the Food Truck A Palooza proceeds. Did you know that the pool of volunteers for firefighters is at an all-time low? And we move Shawn along quickly so he doesn’t have a chance to tell old “John was drinkin’ beer” stories!

Paul Furiga, WordWrite Communications, is in for some breaking news! But first, WordWrite has started a new media project, ThePittsburgh100.com website… articles and videos of Pittsburgh in 100 words or 100 seconds respectively. Most importantly, Paul attests to the need for humor in marketing, plus what food truck would Paul be?

Mac McAfferty, Parade Chairman, Maggie Cloonan, 2018 Grand Marsha, and Kevin Conboy, all of the Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day Parade, are amidst the palooza. Maggie takes over the podcast chatting about the criteria of Ms. Smiling Irish Eyes and her Irish brogue will melt ya! They divulge details on cost that make the parade the best in the US and even prepare with a Mass at St. Patrick’s since it is a family-friendly to-do! BTW, there is a 46-foot potato coming to the parade!
