Case Erickson of Trucklandia Interview

Created from the heart of Case Erickson, Trucklandia began five years ago as Truck by Truckwest, which was Austin’s original $10,000 food truck taste-off.

The mobile-food festival not only provides a chance for food truck owners to win $10,000, but by giving 10% of its revenue back to support local non-profit Keep Austin Fed, it is also an example of a socially responsible business model.

Case is a former restaurateur, commercial realtor, and business coach, and he marries his passion for food, authenticity, and community by producing events that make a difference.

A self-proclaimed, “foodpreneur,” he is a father of two young children, and he believes that passion, play, and purpose are the key ingredients of a delicious life.
