Duluth, Minnesota — A local food truck is facing the chilly weather head-on, spreading their passion for culinary delights.
Food trucks are often regarded as a fundamental part of summertime dining.
However, Johnny B's is committed to offering delicious meals throughout the entire year.
"They've visited us nearly every Thursday throughout the winter, and as Cirrus employees, we truly value their presence."

"I truly appreciate how it enhances the end of my week after a tiring week at work." – Mikal Grotte, Technician in the Finishing Center at Cirrus
The food truck is frequently stationed outside local businesses in the Duluth area, such as Cirrus and Bent Paddle. This allows people in the community to work or socialize nearby, making it easier for customers to enjoy tasty meals in a relaxed atmosphere.
"The temperature inside the truck is more comfortable. I have the heating system running, which makes a difference. My main focus is on the customers. I offer online ordering, which is crucial for my winter business. Customers can order from indoors and receive a text or email notification when their food is ready. They still have to brave the cold to pick it up, but it’s not as harsh as one might think." – Johnny Barnstorf, Owner of Johnny B’s Food Truck
The enthusiasm that motivates Johnny Barnstorf to remain operational throughout the winter is equally reflected in his menu, which features local, organic, and seasonal ingredients.
"I frequently update my menu, which means that some customers come to the truck expecting to find summer items that aren't available. Conversely, I also offer winter specialties that aren't on the menu in the summer. So, every time you visit the truck, there's always something fresh to try. Of course, I always have my smash burger, and that's a favorite among the crowd," Johnny explained.
Johnny approaches cooking with purpose, carefully considering the way he toasts the buns, crafting a crispy cheese skirt to enhance the delicious crunch of the smash burgers, and selecting the perfect herbs and sauces to elevate the sweet and savory notes of the squash tarts.
"I suppose I wouldn't want to be doing anything else. If there were an alternative, I'd probably be relaxing on a beach somewhere. But that's not possible at the moment, so here I am, cooking," Johnny remarked.
