A mother-and-daughter team with an affinity for cooking are taking their show on the road — although not too far.
Terri Bogusky and her daughter Alana operate Take It and Go Food Truck and Catering.
They’ve customized a 16-foot trailer that they’ll pull to various locations around Red Deer, bringing hot meals to customers.
“Basically it’s a commercial kitchen on wheels,” said Terri, adding that the trailer is equipped with pretty much everything you’d find in a restaurant.
“We can cook anything.”
Terri said Take It and Go Food Truck and Catering will serve food like chicken Parmesan wraps, pulled pork sandwiches, beef souvlaki wraps, fish tacos and even a turkey burger with stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce.
It will also offer homemade soups and salads, as well as breakfast items like a breakfast burrito, french toast, and yogurt and granola.
Overseeing the kitchen will be Alana, a journeyman chef who attended the professional cooking program at SAIT.
“I know that we’re going to be successful because her food is amazing and I think people out there will like it,” said Terri.
The pair tested their trailer on Saturday, and expect to open for business this Wednesday and Thursday at Gary Moe Mazda, south of the city in Gasoline Alley East.
Terri said they plan to set up a schedule and then rotate between different locations on a daily basis.
“It’s basically park and stay there from 7 to 2.”
They expect to publicize their daily whereabouts via Twitter, with their address @takeitandgofoodtruck.
“What we’re really thinking is the busiest and most fruitful areas will be the industrial parks and that kind of thing,” said Terri.
