  Aug 7, 202634 minS4

  Welcome Back From Summer Break! We return with a fresh set of episodes to get you back on track to becoming As Swiss As Possible . From gastronomy and wine to doctors and banking, we've got you covered! --------------------------------------------------------------- Why are food trucks becoming so popular in Switzerland and what does it really take to build one? In this episode of the As Swiss As Possible Podcast , we chat with Nick Calzerotti, founder of the Calzerotti Food Truck in Locarno, Ticino. Nick shares his journey from growing up in Tuscany and traveling the world as a pizza chef to creating his signature Calzerotti: a unique fried-and-baked pizza sandwich that has become a local favorite. We explore how years of experimentation led to his innovative recipe, why he chose a food truck over a traditional restaurant, and how lower overhead allows him to serve high-quality, locally sourced food at more affordable prices in Switzerland. Nick also shares insights into Swiss entrepreneurship, navigating Swiss bureaucracy, sourcing seasonal Ticino ingredients, and why creative freedom is the secret ingredient behind his ever-changing menu. Whether you're curious about Swiss food culture, dreaming of starting a business in Switzerland, or simply looking for your next culinary stop in Ticino, this episode is packed with inspiration, practical insights, and plenty of delicious stories.
