Great flavor can come in little bites- that’s for sure! 🔥 🤤
Our Mother’s Day High Tea was a success again this year & we were honored to spend the day with the families . We love vending on the food truck, don’t get us wrong, but there’s something magical that happens during these events that is priceless. Connecting with absolute strangers through food is the reason we chose to start our business back in 2018. That feeling inspires us every day to push through the long work days (& adventures to the mechanics with the truck- IYKYK). Building a community around our passion is something we never take for granted and feel unbelievably grateful doing so. A little late here, we know 😉 but we hope all those special Mamas had a lovely Mother’s Day weekend & we’re stoked to see what next year has in store for us!

Taking it back to the beginning....

A little over two years ago, we found ourselves loving what we do- Zack being a sous chef & Collette-the FOH manager of the same restaurant. But, we weren’t in love with working for someone else. Now, don’t get us wrong, we loved our owners & staff, however, we were feeling stagnant & wanted to set our own schedules. We were standing in the kitchen of our apartment at the time & that’s when we had the conversation of owning a small brick & mortar OR...... a food truck. We quickly came to the agreement that we had some things we wanted to check off our bucket list before operating/owning a restaurant space. And so, that left our favorite option-the food truck.

After months of deliberating over concepts, trying different food we would cook in our own kitchen & scoping out the Philadelphia food truck scene, we arrived at where we are now...an oyster truck! Soon after the name “Bad Mother Shuckers” was birthed & we were slowly picking up momentum. The dream of owning a business was quickly becoming a reality for us & it was exciting. Now all we had to do was: save up money to buy the truck, start an LLC, look up everything there was to know about the laws, health code regulations of owning a truck, list out annual certifications needed, find a location to park the truck, acquire a commissary kitchen, buy the perfect truck within our price range & become social media gurus. (woof!)

All in all, it’s been a wonderful journey thus far & we’ve learned a ton about ourselves, our partnership & the nitty gritty of starting a business. AND, we know now, more than anything, that simply having an idea that inspires you is only the beginning. We’re immensely appreciative of our family & friends who have supported us along the way & the community of people who have gathered around us to help guide us in the right direction. Come follow us as we grow, hone our craft & provide great grub along the way!

-Collette & Zack
