Faro eatery moves from food truck to hockey-arena kitchen.

Ryan Stewart has moved his business, The Faro Pit, from a food truck into the Faro hockey arena kitchen to serve more customers; he plans to explore options for the truck, including training an apprentice to run it and reach nearby communities.

Ryan Stewart has moved his food business, The Faro Pit, from a food truck into a kitchen inside Faro's hockey arena. He worked in hospitality off and on in Ontario before relocating to Faro and later buying a food truck two years ago. The truck served diner-style meals and drew large lineups, which prompted the change. The new arena kitchen provides more space and new appliances to serve customers in a more accessible setting. Key details: - Stewart bought a food truck two years ago and served diner-style meals including burgers, poutine, ribs and fish and chips. - The truck attracted long lineups and steady local demand from its first days of operation. - The business has been moved into a kitchen inside the town hockey arena to increase capacity and accessibility. - Stewart is deciding what to do with the truck and said he hopes to train an apprentice to run it and bring meals to nearby communities such as Ross River. - Community members, including Stewart's 10-year-old son Oliver and resident Harold "Tiny" Meers, expressed pride and support for the venture. Summary: The move into the arena kitchen is intended to allow The Faro Pit to serve more people in a more accessible space while maintaining the food offerings that drew local support. Next steps include determining the future use of the food truck and finding an apprentice to operate it so the business can reach other communities.
