I have been to different wineries, breweries and events where there have been several food trucks.

I love the wide variety of food trucks and festivals where there are different options to choose from. Personally, I had delicious food from Flores Food Truck & Catering. Hudson Valley residents have also enjoyed options from Eddie's Churro Factory and Taco Ticos.

It's enjoyable to watch food being made fresh in front of you with purchases made from local food trucks.

Cousins Maine Lobster started before their claim to fame on the popular TV show, Shark Tank. In 2011, the two cousins of Cousins Maine Lobster chatted about business opportunities about what was missing from LA. The cousins duo realized that LA was missing the flavorful traditions of Maine

It wasn't until 2012 that the two cousins had opened their food truck business which they had great success from.

How Did Cousins Maine Lobster Get Involved With Shark Tank?


According to Cousins Maine Lobster's website, they shared that

"Our one little truck produced amazing sales during its first few months, providing a real opportunity that we had to acknowledge. With very little means, we built one truck, hired a small staff and created a culture and brand that customers gravitated to."

 

"The result was increased demand, more sales and a potential to expand our business. But before we had the chance to scale and put another truck on the road, we appeared on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank."

The Shark Tank producers were in fact, customers themselves of the growing business of Cousins Maine Lobster. The cousins wanted Barbara to be on their team from the beginning and were excited to get a deal with her.
