About Silo

Award winning Silo Food Truck is the genesis of Jesse Steve, aka the Chicken Wizard, and former co-owner, Katie Foley the Biz-Wiz. 

Launched in 2015, Silo got its start at large festivals and events including the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance, Ithaca Festival, PHISH Magnaball, Okeechobee Music Festival and the NY State Fair to name a few.

Katie and Jesse’s passion for community and celebration inspired their farm-to-festival model bringing the freshness of local ingredients and creative recipes to large audiences near and far.

Silo has been the recipient of many local and regional food awards and has won many competitions for their mouthwatering dishes.
