Voices Of The Metro Chamber Bacon. One of America's favorite ingredients, and the "duct tape" of the kitchen. But how could we turn it into a business? For us, it was a simple decision. Food Truck. Bringing bacon to Las Vegas with a food truck has been a few years in the making between two friends but now it is here, thanks to help from the community and the Metro Chamber. The idea stemmed from a late night snack run where we ended up cooking three pounds of bacon and eating monster BLTs. Fast forward quite a few sleepless nights, cases of Rockstar and more than 100 pounds of bacon, and we get Bacon Boys - our take on one of America's favorite foods. Venturing into a new industry such as food and beverage from a tech background was a daunting task, but we turned to the Metro Chamber to help with starting and growing our business. Through the use of Chamber resources, we have been able to take advantage of several programs that have helped our business and helped put hundreds of dollars DIRECTLY back to our bottom line. Our first item of business is always to let people know what we have on our menu. Using the printing discount offered through the Office Depot partnership has allowed us to get high-quality printed menus to pass out both for catering and walk-up traffic. Image is everything and being able to present a professional image to patrons helps us break out of the traditional "roach coach" mentality and let people know that we are serving gourmet food - just off of a truck. Attracting new business is key to long-term growth and development, and the Metro Chamber has helped us immensely. Taking the food truck to a client's location isn't always the most cost-effective option, and we don't feel that meeting at a coffee shop presents the image we want. The Metro Chamber's business center allows us access to high-speed Internet and a professional meeting space
