Matt Trotter

Matt Trotter is the owner of the Horseradish Cafe, the groovy food truck that attracts crowds every weekend in Princeton. The cafe is located near Matt’s retail shop, Teak and Soxy, and began on whim when he and his partner found an old school bus on Craigslist and towed it into town. With Matt’s great sense of style, decorating the bus and promoting the business was easy: add a sign and a fantastic yellow awning, a few strings of lights and the Horseradish Cafe went viral on social media. 

There was only one problem: the truck had no kitchen. Enter Green Lake Kitchens. Before every summer weekend, Matt arrives in the kitchens to create the components of his creative sandwich menu, which includes the likes of Cowboy Sliders, New Deli Sliders and the Bahn Me. In 2017, Matt is graduating from the Kitchen to his own bricks-and-mortar restaurant, while the Horseradish Cafe school bus will be on the go at varying locations.
