“To have a positive effect on the way our city is perceived by tourists would be a fantastic thing to be a part of,” he told me. “If I can get tourists to see the food truck scene and try the trucks I work with, their minds will be changed.”

Baratelli said a couple had told one of his Bazaar volunteers that they planned their Disney Vacation Club visits to coincide with the food truck events. “They get to do the Disney stuff, which is awesome, and they make time for this local event,” he said. “Both couldn’t be more different. And together, it's awesome.”
