About Silo

Award winning Silo Food Truck is the genesis of partners Jesse Steve, aka the Chicken Wizard, and 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 just concluded a very successful residency at Liquid State Brewing in Ithaca that ran from 2020 till September 2025. Although a fan favorite and very successful, owners Katie and Jesse felt it was time to downsize and refocus on events and new chapters – professionally and personally.

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