Businesses come in all shapes, sizes and…flavours. I always have and always will admire people who have found a way to harness their true passions in life and turn them into a successful and thriving business.  The most recent proposition to catch my eye is that of Chef Mark and Chef Krissy. (For you vegetarians out there, I am sorry but this isn’t for you.) Pig on The Street is a Bacon-Oriented food truck which has recently been featured on Eat Street, a popular show on the Food Network. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z2XsTjZ-iY). Start-up costs were fairly simple as their food truck is a converted camper van which the couple had previously owned. Advertisement also comes a little cost as there is an exponentially growing love for the industry through food bloggers and popular local personalities with twitter accounts. Setting themselves apart from a restaurant style business plan, rent costs were virtually non-existent as the only fixed cost associated with that would be their permit from the City of Vancouver.  However, what makes this proposition even more impressive is the sustainability associated with Pig on The Street as all of their products (bacon, cheese, organics) come from British Columbia. Providing the citizens of Vancouver with a unique product, in densely populated areas, the sky is the limit for Mark and Krissy.
