The Crew: Josh and Trent

Washington D.C., DC

The crew of PORC is Josh Saltzman and Trent Allen. We're two experienced food service industry guys with useless university degrees (general studies and classical languages, beat that!) on a mission to create the most innovative street food company in the USA. We love and obsess over food and hope we'll be cooking you a meal soon.

    PORC is Rollin' Later This Year

    Thanks again, to all those that back us here on kickstarter. I'm happy to report PORC will be hitting the streets in a few short months (fingers crossed). We can't wait to serve up some great food for the District.

    Wow, what a party last night. We served over 250 people. The feedback was great, and we're working on tweaking some of the menu items based on what we heard. It was so crazy yesterday we didn't even get to try the pulled pork. Thanks to all of you that came out, now let's hit that goal!!!

    Hey Folks! What we're going to do is add a drop-down menu when the kickstarter project is done, so you pick your preferred stop location. So, when you pick what reward you like, you can also help us project where the most hungry people will be. No worries though, L'Enfant and West End we'll be taken care of.

    Eli_basement, $30,000 in the food service business is very much so on the low end. We've put half of the startup money ($30,000) in ourselves. Building a truck, getting it licensed and on the road costs money. We could do it with less capital, but then we would be serving an inferior product, we would be unable to be eco-friendly, and you, the customer would suffer. Liz and Ari, we will definitely be hitting up the West End/Foggy Bottom area. We've both worked in the West End and were dying for some good options. We will not forsake our forgotten comrades.

    Sunday Grillin'

    Thanks to all of those that came out to the part on Sunday! We couldn't believe y'all killed all the bbq and went through 20 lbs of sausage (not to mention all of the sides being decimated). We're so glad people had a good time. So happy, in fact, that we'll be doing it again in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
