Abstract:

Michael Markham has a unique approach to dispensing barbecue in the Research Triangle Area. He tows a red barn, 18'x6,' behind his pickup truck. Inside are a smoker and all the fixings for a barbecue plate with collards and baked beans or a barbecue sandwich. Raleigh tends to discourage food trucks; there are a lot of hoops to jump through. It took Mike months to get the barn up to code, but he did it and now he has been selling his product for almost three years. Mike can be found parked outside office buildings, festivals, and places where there are other food trucks.
