History
Mark Baratelli has been a proponent of food trucks dating back to 2009 when he started hosting food truck meetups called Taco Truck Taste Tests. He'd ask readers of TheDailyCity.com to meet up at trucks all over the city, one truck at a time, and try the food. In doing so, he got his readers to explore new parts of the city, support small businesses and raise awareness of our city's food trucks scene at the time. That same year e applied the idea of mobile vending to art and created TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show. On March 29, 2011, he combined the idea of the Hells Kitchen gourmet food truck bazaar idea he wrote about in April 2010, combined it with what was happening in Miami (as told to him by Red Eye BBQ) and did the very first iteration of The Food Truck Bazaar. An estimated 4,000 people showed up and its been going ever since in cities and towns across Central Florida.
