‘People will discover something new here’: Variety of mobile fare to descend on Farm Museum for Food Truck Sunday Funday

Prior to the pandemic, JD’s House of Bacon was mainly a festival truck. They only sold bacon on a stick, usually driving to events with up to 50,000 people. But when COVID-19 washed over the United States, taking with it these festivals, Josh and the rest of the team had to rebrand themselves into a local, family neighborhood food truck.

Some of his favorite places to go were firehouses, where JD’s House of Bacon would feed tons of families in fundraisers for fire departments. These families, as they inquire about what Distenfeld had to offer, inspired him to expand his food to a light barbecue menu: pulled pork sandwiches, tater tots, mac and cheese, and the Baltimore staple “Polock Johnny.”

“That went off like fireworks,” Distenfeld said.
