Taco Fam, after another meeting with the health department here, I've decided to sell the food truck (not the business) in order to focus on getting a brick & mortar location. The truck needs a sink replaced, an external propane line installed, and a new floor to be NC-compliant, and I just can't dump any more money into her.
If you're interested in the truck, equipment, pans, utensils, and supplies, send me an email at [email protected] 💛🌮
*Truck is located in Wilmington, NC*

Healthcare is a right. Abortion is healthcare.
We will always believe in anyone's right to choose the healthcare that is best for their body, no matter what some unelected demagogues decide. Some of y'all want horse dewormer instead of actual medicine for a deadly virus, but you won't let me decide what's best for *my* body?! Get the f**k outta here.
"But this is a business, keep politics out of it 🧐"
Yes, Global Taco *is* a business. And it never would have existed if I (the business owner and a uterus-haver) wasn't able to get an abortion at 25 years old when birth control failed.
If you're a man who wants fewer abortions, get a vasectomy. If you're a woman who wants fewer abortions, get a tubal ligation. If you're a politician who thinks they get to choose for us, get a different job.
Video has bad language because we're clearly all done with respectability politics at this point.
(PS I've submitted applications to a commissary and the county health department, hoping to be open in Wilmington NC by the end of the month 🌈)

Want to support GT while we're transitioning the business from NY to NC?
Stop by sister business Downtown Grind for a latte, bubble tea, breakfast sammy, smoothie bowl, or coffee next time you're in Elmira 💛🌮

Friendly reminder to keep supporting your local businesses!
We are still recovering from pandemic, construction, and winter weather, and it's safe to assume that plenty of other businesses that have stayed open through covid are struggling too.
We pay fair wages, create jobs in the community, buy from local and small producers, and our sales tax dollars go toward improving the community. But we can't do it without you 💛☕

Taco Fam, I've been missing home a lot lately (even though the temperature has definitely been above zero here in Wilmington, and I'm here for that!). So I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to!
As most of you know, my dad had a pretty severe stroke in August. He retired to Wilmington, NC last year so I shut down the truck and headed south to see how I could help. After two weeks, I came back to NY because we had some contract events, and as a small business owner, I don't make any money to pay bills if I don't work.
After GT shut down for the season in October, I spent a few weeks packing and making sure my amazing team at Downtown Grind had the tools they needed to succeed without me being at the coffee shop in person on the regular. They have gone above and beyond to keep my coffee dream going, and I am so grateful 💛💛
It's been a long, interesting, challenging, affirming, terrifying, and eye-opening few months. I know a lot of you have been able to be there for family for lots of different reasons, and I thank you for sharing your stories and struggles with me 💛
I asked my dad for permission to share some photos of what we've been working on since I moved here to be his advocate and #1 fan, and he said ok.
He's been in rehab since November where we work on core strength, balance, shoulder and leg exercises, and cognitive and speech stuff. He still can't move his left side, which is a pretty big bummer, but cards and phone calls from his friends in the Watkins Glen Class of 1968 fb group have been great! Special thanks to Bob M for the letters and Carol A for the cards; they're on his mirror so he thinks of you often 💛
I've been writing my memoir/advice/cookbook, making candles, working with my Downtown Grind team to keep our favorite coffee shop in Elmira to the highest standard, and making moves to bring GT to Wilmington.
I love and miss you guys!
