Here’s something you might not expect a food truck to admit: We’re not great at social media.
We don’t have a perfectly curated grid, or a content calendar filled three months ahead. What we do have is a deep passion for people and a love for making incredible food—and a commitment to showing up for our clients across Southeast Tennessee, every single time.
And honestly? That’s exactly how we like it.
A Wheely Good Food Truck Catering Business is Built on Passion, Not on Social Media Posts
It’s about the effort behind the scenes: the long prep days, the 4 a.m. alarms, the logistics, the packing, the hauling, the stress—and the satisfaction of knowing we delivered.
We want every guest to walk away full, happy, and saying, “That was the best part of the day.”
We’re not offline because we don’t care. We’re offline because we care too much about the part that actually matters—you and your experience we’re obsessed with what truly matters: making sure everyone is happy at the end of each event!
The Real Work Behind Your Full-Service Catering Event
People think a food truck event lasts a couple of hours. The truth? It takes days.
From the first trip to source ingredients to the final cleanup, it’s a high-stakes dance with a ticking clock—and that’s why we take so much pride in what we do.
The “go, go, go” begins long before we ever pull up to your event in Knoxville,
Chattanooga, Athens, or Cleveland. It’s:
Early mornings sourcing fresh, high-quality ingredients - 🛒 We source locally when possible—from regional farms to trusted suppliers like Athens Farmers Market
Hours of prep work in our kitchen in Athens, TN
Cooking all of the food
Hauling equipment and loading steam wells and catering hot boxes
A long drive through Southeast Tennessee to reach your venue
Then comes the setup. The real race against the clock begins. We’re up against time, temperature, logistics, and expectations—all while making sure every plate is hot, safe, and exactly as it should be.
After the last guest is served? We still have miles to go—literally and figuratively.
We pack everything back up, make the drive home, then tackle the deep clean: scrubbing every utensil, sanitizing every surface, and resetting for the next event.
That one event that guests enjoyed for two hours? It took us days of effort, energy, and care.
And we do it all because our focus... our passion...... ✍️ Want to know what to expect when hiring a food truck? We lay it out in 8 Smart Tips for Booking a Food Truck Caterer in Chattanooga.
Our Focus Is on What Matters Most

Our passion is serving others and pleasing them. That’s it. That’s the whole reason we do this.
We’re not here to impress ourselves or chase trends—we’re here to make your guests happy, your team feel appreciated, your event run smoother. Whether we’re dishing up lunches for a school staff, feeding a crowd at a corporate function, or knocking out wedding meals under an unrealistic time crunch, we show up to serve!
We listen. We adapt. We truly care about getting it right—not because it’s easy, but because it matters..... because each and every guest MATTERS! That is our passion... and it sprinkles down to the.... Food!

Why Our Knoxville & Chattanooga Catering Clients Keep Coming Back - The Connection
We hear things like this—and we never get tired of it:
“Y’all were the best part of the event.”
“Our employees haven’t stopped talking about lunch."
” This is the only thing my picky kid ate all day.”
We don’t need viral moments.
We’ve got real reactions from real people—and that’s more than enough... that's what it's all about.
A New Kind of Social Strategy: An old-fashioned point of view - Show Up and Serve Well
No MORE chasing algorithms. We’re not measuring our worth in likes or shares. Social media’s just a tool—not the job.
We use social media to help you find us: To see where what matters to us, to share a few real moments, and to highlight kind words from happy clients.
That’s it. Simple. Honest. Real.
Because authenticity is our best marketing, and in a noisy world, doing great work consistently is still the most powerful message you can send.
