The architect.

The city of Dorchester, MA was a foreign location for an 18 year old from Cape Cod. It was 1983 and Bryant was eager to start earning his Bachelor’s Degree from the Boston Architectural Center. He arrived on his motorcycle and moved into an apartment by himself. He got himself a full-time job at Creative Gourmet so he that he could pay for his education, unaware about the availability of student loans. After two years, the juggling of a full-time education and full-time employment became too much to handle so he decided to leave school and follow his passion - cooking. Many years later he found himself juggling life, yet again. After the COVID crisis hit he began solely running the kitchen at the Wildcat Tavern, while learning how to teach culinary class remotely as an Adjunct Instructor at White Mountain Community College and teach himself how to turn a vintage trailer into a food truck.

The original intent was keep as much structure intact as possible. The windows, door and hardware would be re-purposed, but because the layout was being changed most of the skins would need to be replaced. The plan: remove a wall, repair it, reattach it. After much contemplation on the roof, which was in rough condition, the decision was made to strip Corona down to the trailer bed and rebuild her the right way. If this trailer was to be around another 50 years, rebuilding her from the ground up was the right way to do it.

It may not have been the fastest route or the easier route, but it was the best route. Because sometimes you have to jump into life with both feet and trust the process.
