Barreling down the narrow streets of Baltimore is a green box truck with gold and black lines intertwined running down the sides. Where it stops, the air fills with aromas of allspice, ginger, garlic, cloves, thyme, and pepper. There is a level of complexity that sends your senses into a spiral. Recently, while visiting his food Truck, Chef Brown took time to answer some questions about his inspiration, challenges, and achievements.

Welcome to our new series call Thoughts from the Grange. A series of sit-down interviews with young farmers and food entrepreneurs. Brody Mcallister is thoughtful, opinionated, and knowledgable about what makes the Baltimore-area community special, but also vulnerable. The conversation started with discussions about dogs and family, but suddenly dove deep into the fabric that guides our food decisions.
