HEAVY METAL GRILL STORY

I have had so many people ask me why I decided to build a food truck, how I came up with the name and why 80โ€™s rock? So I decided to answer these questions and more in our story.

In the beginningโ€ฆ

Motley Crews Heavy Metal Grill came to life one day after reading an article about the food truck craze on Entrepreneur.com & It hit me like a bolt of lightning. With over 15 years in the restaurant industry and 15 years of marketing experience, a food truck would be my destiny!

Growing up in the 80โ€™s, was absolutely awesome! I mean Like Totally Awesome! A timeless generation of quirky catch phrases, freaky fashion and music, oh yeah the music! 80โ€™s rock is still alive and as strong as ever, many are still rocking today and local bands like Hairball keep this generation alive! An 80โ€™s rock themed food truck it shall be, now I needed a name.

I knew that I did not want to brand myself as a certain type of food truck and that I wanted the freedom to change my menu with the season or for that matter the mood I was in. This would not be possible with โ€œHot Dog or Philly stamped on the side of my truck. I mean who would think you could get an authentic Philly from a truck with a clown on the side? It was only a matter of time before that train of thought came to a head on collision with my love for music from the 80โ€™s and POOF! Motley Crews Heavy Metal Grill was born!

Now I needed a menu and since I have never been a fan of fine dining and know that local dives like The Nook, Mattโ€™s or even Cosettaโ€™s have the best food in town, I knew this would be a challengeโ€ฆor would it? I made the decision to NOT make a decision and do it my way! You want a good Philly? You got it! Seafood Paella? Done! The last piece of the puzzle was in place. I will make Food That Rocks!
