A Life-Long Chef
I became interested in cooking when I began baking myself cookies as a latchkey kid in the 70s. I continued learning and experimenting until I entered the food industry at the age of 15 as a busboy at Valentino’s. In 1996, I landed my first Executive Chef position at one of Lincoln’s most prestigious private dining clubs. Nine years later, I became the Executive Chef in an upscale Retirement Community. In 2014, I became a private chef at College Chefs, an amazing company which provides very progressive food to fraternities and sororities across the country.
MotorFood Was Born!
In 2015, I looked at a used food truck and made the decision on the spot to give it a shot. That fall, while working for College Chefs, I opened the original MotorFood. In 2018, I was recruited to be the Executive Chef of an upscale retirement community and I made the difficult decision to close MotorFood. With the changes occurring in Lincoln’s food truck scene, now is the time to relaunch MotorFood! With the support of family and friends, I am opening a new state-of-the-art food truck and revamping the MotorFood concept.

In 2014, Joe Hager started competing in cook-offs during his tenure in the state of Texas. Hager was born and raised in the midwest that kindled a passion for authentic, Central Texas slow- Oak smoked barbecue. In the beginning, Hager crafted small batch barbecue sauces and rubs that complement his menu. Hager quickly became known throughout Texas neighborhoods for mouthwatering oak-smoked barbecue, popular catered events, and pop-ups. Driven by Hager’s motto Faith, Family, and Smoke, it takes equal parts to make something special

How to Find the Best Local Food Trucks
Social Media
There are a number of local Facebook pages in Lincoln that have discussions about local food trucks and where to find them at any given time.
Talk with locals
Use word of mouth to your advantage. If you’re visiting, don’t just pick up brochures at the tourist bureau, ask the people who work there what their favorite food trucks are and why. Do the same at your hotel, gas stations and shops.
Use Yelp
Search by city at Yelp for food truck reviews by locals in hundreds of locations. The site has discussion forums and a blog. Sign up for Yelp Mobile to have information delivered to your phone.
Cleanliness and Food Safety
When you arrive at the food truck be mindful of the cleanliness of the food truck and the hygiene of the cook/server. The cook/server still needs to wear gloves, hair net and follow local health department sanitary guidelines. Additionally, the food temperatures per local health department standards should be observed both in holding and once the food is served.
