Troy King went from police officer to hot dog cart owner to challenging Louisville Metro in court over food truck regulations, then to working alongside the city to help other Louisville food truck operators. On this episode of Kentucky's Wandering Realtor, the founder of Velvet Couch Hospitality Group and leader of the Louisville Food Truck Association shares how betting on himself, and knowing when to pivot, shaped his career.
Troy has been a police officer, a food truck builder, and a restaurateur. His career has never followed a straight line.
In this conversation, Troy talks about:
- The early experiences that shaped his work ethic
- How his wife Selena helped turn ideas into sustainable businesses
- Why food trucks open doors for people without a traditional path into entrepreneurship
- Challenging Louisville Metro over food truck regulations, and how that fight became a partnership with local government
- Why he closed Six Forks Burger Company even after building a loyal following
- How fatherhood changed his definition of success
- What he has learned from business ideas that had to evolve
- Why creating opportunities for the next entrepreneur is central to his work
This conversation is about much more than food. It's about independence, family, risk, adaptation, access, and building something that can outlive you.
Before he leaves, Troy becomes the first guest to ”Pass the Key,” shining a light on another Louisville or Kentucky story that deserves more attention.
