Sorry foodies. While food trucks are a fun way to buy gourmet mac and cheese, cupcakes and naanwiches, these gas-guzzling lorries are far from a sustainable business model. Enter Bridgeport Pasty and their environmentally friendly GEM (Global Electric Motorcar) vehicle. Husband-and-wife team Carrie Clark and Jay Sebastian bake pasties (“pass-tees,” as opposed to the “pace-tees” worn by burlesque dancers)—savory, football-shaped pastries that are the national dish of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Since they sell them out of the tiny, nearly emissions-free truck, customers get to enjoy the aroma of meat pies rather than monoxide.
