Vandalism hit The Yard Food Truck Plaza in downtown Temple, Texas this week, causing distress among local small business owners. Two food trucks, including the popular “You Da Man Noodle Man,” reported break-ins and damages.
“You Da Man Noodle Man” took to social media to express their concerns. Their post revealed that their truck had been broken into, with the lock compromised and contents of the truck strewn about. They weren’t the only victims, as another food truck in the plaza experienced similar vandalism.
The incident raised concerns about the security measures in place and prompted calls for the city to consider providing additional protection for small business owners operating in the area.
“You Da Man Noodle Man” was established in 2020 by a seasoned chef who received training at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. The food truck brings a unique spin on ramen, blending traditional flavors with modern flair, catering to the Central Texas community.
Local supporters and fellow businesses hope that such incidents won’t deter the thriving food truck culture in Temple.
