GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â Daddy Peteâs BBQ continued to serve its award-winning food at its takeout window over the last yearâs pandemic, but a big part of their business â food truck and catering â has yet to recover.
But co-founder Tara Davis continues to be upbeat.
We ve noticed a definite shift of a lot of people wanting to support local, so please continue to do that,â she says.
We typically have hundreds of catering events and food truck events that we participate in, in a year,â Davis adds. âLast year, we had maybe less than five food truck events that we did.â
