Food Truck Follow-Up
Food Truck Follow-Up
Mar 13, 2026 1:45 AM

Picking up on the theme of mentary and blog posts from a few weeks ago, I note (via Carpe Diem) that St. Paul, Minnesota will be ing “a new ing soon to the food truck scene in downtown St. Paul. Tot Boss will be the city’s first truck specializing in Tater Tots.”

And to lend some more anecdotal evidence to the idea that mobile trucks can lay the groundwork for more permanent and developed enterprises down the road (so to speak), check out this story of Brigitte Wooten in Holland, Michigan, “who for the past 11 years has been doing ribs and pulled pork at the Tulip Festival and other summer events around the state.” Wooten opened Jus’ Ribs & More late last year.

“Now I’m the owner of my own business. And I’m the cook and the dishwasher and waitress and the cashier and the dishwasher,” said Wooten.

The Acton Commentary this week from my friend John pares church budgets to government budgets, and what “government thinking” might look like if it were reflected in charitable and ecclesiastical budgeting. He writes, “If we think the government is the best source passion for the needy and the engine of economic growth, then it makes sense to set taxes at high rates so the government can do all good things for the people.” On that point, over at Evangelical Perspective...
The ‘Big Reach’ of Food Banks
