Now, he’s the owner of&nbsp;<strong>Troff on the Go</strong>, a street food business that has built a strong following for its bold flavours and top-tier dishes. 🌯🔥</p><p><br></p><p>We also chat about&nbsp;<strong>consumer trends</strong>, the growing demand for authenticity in food, and how small businesses can compete in a world dominated by big chains. Will’s insights into customer expectations and adapting to the fast-paced nature of hospitality make for a fascinating discussion. 🌍</p><p><br></p><p>To top it all off, he shares a&nbsp;<strong>fun story involving a former US president</strong>—a moment that perfectly sums up the unpredictability of working in hospitality! His experience in&nbsp;<strong>hospitality, customer service, and building a successful food brand</strong>&nbsp;makes this an episode packed with knowledge and inspiration for anyone in food and farming. 🏆</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Enjoy!</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support.</p><p><br></p><p>#R2Kast #WillBlake #TroffOnTheGo #FoodIndustry #Hospitality #StreetFood #ConsumerTrends #FarmToFork #FoodBusiness #QualityIngredients #IndependentBusiness #FoodCulture #RestaurantLife #ChefLife #UKFood #SupportingLocal #CulinaryInnovation #FarmingAndFood #HowdenRural</p>","author_name":"Wallace Currie"}
