I'm in eary stages of thinking about part-time BBQ business... and trying to figure out if a BBQ truck would meet codes for catering. Meaning: rather than trying to own or rent a commercial kitchen (very costly), could a much less costly truck be used as the commercial kitchen that allows me to get the catering license. Then I could cook out of the truck to do catering gigs, or just do the truck-on-the-side-of-the-road thing. Are regs on when you can keep a food truck, cook with the food truck, and park and sell all done on a local basis? Do I need to check with the town about that? Thanks.
