Well branded! While there is no doubt about what type of events J-BAR-H Texas Catering creates, where John Homrighausen is concerned, there are always surprises!

These trucks, stocked and ready to go during lunch and dinner hours offer some of the tastiest food around. Although they have been trending recently, food trucks have been around for years . Starting in the early 1900's as a means for workers to have meals quick and conveniently because the "restaurant" could roll right up the work site. In those early days the food "carts" provided cheap meals using simple ingredients. Over the years things have changed drastically.
