« For Mike’s family, in addition to the customers, just the whole community of food trucks are family to him, » Brian Detweiler, co-owner of 3rd Planet Brewing said in the report. « They looked up to him and he helped them a lot. So, we thought what better way to honor him and celebrate him by having all this food truck family here to help him out. »
