Philly Food Truck: FARM TRUCK
Philly loves Food Trucks! And what’s not to love – they are normally run by creative, dedicated foodies who want to bring unique flavors to the public. And with lower over head, there’s more time to talk to their customers! At a recent XPN Key Studios Session (Lenfest Plaza) I got a chance to talk to 3 great food truck owners.

Farm Truck is run by Kris Pepper & Eliot Coven, look at these guys – if they serve 300…
