![Exclusive Interview with Food Farm (Now Closed)]()
by SDFT | May 4, 2011 | Truck Interviews, Truck News
Food Farm appeared on the scene seemingly out of nowhere, with no warning, serving up creative yet simple dishes like falafel dogs, ginger chicken, grass-fed beef sliders, strawberry salad, and avocado melts. Turns out this truck-owning couple is no stranger to the world of fine cuisine, or comedy.
1. What are your names?
Dave and Kari Rich (ya heard!!)
2. When did you open for business?
Opened for business around the end of March. Glad to finally be able to get weird on the SD public.
3. What did you do before you had the food truck? What’s your background?
Kari- professional chef for 10 years. Top of the Cove, Star of the Sea, Market, La’auberge, Jacks La Jolla, Revolver/Voyeur (current Executive Chef) BOOM
Dave- I’ll continue to dance on the weekends but that’s just because I can’t let my fans (well, one fan) down. It’s a stylish mix between krumping and the robot. I call it ro-bumpin. Just waiting for it to really catch on.
Kari- He’s kidding. He works for Shell. And has done stand-up in LA, Austin, Houston and around town.
Dave- head squeegee guy, no big deal… you’re welcome clean windows…you are welcome

Food Farm Truck
The Food Farm truck has arrived on the scene in San Diego and somehow managed to open without SDFT’s knowledge. This makes SDFT fretfully question their food truck omniscience. Enough about our injured self-esteem:

Food Farm currently lists 5 menu items on their website, including sliders, ginger chicken, orange salad, a “falafel dog”, and a grilled cheese. The grilled cheese is intruiging to me as it’s made with goat cheese, strawberries, and balsamic!
They are a family owned truck that serves lunches to San Diego locations between the hours of 11am-1pm, Tues-Fri. They also pride themselves in supporting local farmers and businesses.
The Gathering Spot Bistrotruck
This truck made it’s triumphant debut at the recent 57 Degrees Food Truck Extravaganza on April 15. Their menu for this event included items like the Trifecta Grilled Cheese Sandwich: gouda, cheddar and pepper jack served with a gazpacho shot; and churritos: churro bites tossed in cinammon and sugar topped with vanilla drizzle. Also mini tacos, sliders, truffle fries,a nd variations on hot dogs and brats.
