Second Night of Interviews

Tonight we went to a single food truck rather than a group.  Unfortunately this meant less opportunities to interview.  Out of the 3 potential interviewees, we chickened out on two.  The one that I did try to interview denied and almost looked fearful in her response.  Didn't go well.

So we decided to ask our questions to ourselves.

While eating, we also noticed this wall that had metal pieces that almost made segments like for seating.  It was an interesting was of implying that the wall could double as a long bench.

Barbie's Q

This week we went to Barbie's Q located outside a bar called Brennan's.  There were several food trucks there, and patrons were encouraged to eat their food inside Brennan's.  The trucks were even giving out tickets for half off drinks by request.  Restrooms were available inside Brennan's and it was a very welcoming environment.  Location was great.  Visible from the street and spacious, though lacking in parking space.  Ambiance consisted of cars driving by, the smell of fumes, and multiple trucks blasting competing music.

At Barbie's Q, they actually had someone outside the truck taking orders and offering samples of their BBQ.  It was an effective way of getting the customers to come to their truck instead of the others.

 We also began conducting our ethnographic research this week with three interviews.
