Best food truck: Johnny Lóte’s raises Latin street corn to the top in Akron
The food truck’s journey began in 2018, when Erik Schorr and John Pasher wanted to start their own business as food trucks were gaining popularity. They started with a simple idea: selling corn. A YouTube video featuring a Mexican street vendor preparing elótes — a Mexican street corn dish — inspired them to bring the idea to Akron and create their own version.
