Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars marks 10 years of serving the Mid-South with award-winning Southern and Creole-inspired cuisine, celebrating a decade of growth, creativity, and community support.
— Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars is celebrating its 10-year milestone, marking a decade of bringing bold Southern comfort food, smoky Creole-inspired flavors, and memorable culinary experiences to communities throughout the Mid-South. What began as one entrepreneur’s decision to pursue a lifelong passion has grown into an award-winning food truck brand and full-service catering company recognized for creativity, quality, and an unwavering commitment to its customers.
Founded by Trip Fountain, Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars has spent the past decade redefining expectations for food truck dining. Serving the entire Mid-South region, the company has earned recognition as one of Memphis’ Top 5 Food Trucks while also receiving accolades for serving one of the city’s Top 5 BBQ sandwiches. Those honors reflect years of consistently delivering handcrafted meals that combine Southern traditions with Creole influences and a signature smoky finish.
The company’s menu has become known for inventive comfort food that balances familiar flavors with unexpected combinations. Signature smoked and grilled meats form the foundation of offerings that include craft barbecue, wraps, melts, sandwiches, seafood, chicken, nachos, and vegetarian selections. Customer favorites such as the Billion Dollar Grilled Cheese, the Smokey Memphis, the Santa Fe Porkfest Burrito, the Midnight Magic Maple pulled pork creation, and the Southern Delight have helped establish the brand as one that embraces originality without losing sight of authentic barbecue craftsmanship.
Over the years, the business has expanded beyond its original food truck into a full-service catering operation serving private events, festivals, corporate gatherings, weddings, and community celebrations. That growth reflects increasing demand for the company’s distinctive approach to hospitality and food preparation, allowing Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars to introduce its cuisine to audiences throughout the region.
“This journey started with one decision to bet on myself and chase a dream,” said Trip Fountain, founder and owner of Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars. “Ten years later, I’m still humbled by the support our community has shown us. Every event, every customer, and every opportunity has helped shape who we are today. I hope our story reminds people not to be scared to gamble on themselves.”
The milestone also represents the steady evolution of a business built through persistence and community relationships. Fountain first stepped into his food truck a decade ago with little certainty about what the future would hold. Customer enthusiasm fueled continuous innovation, leading to menu expansion, catering services, and the addition of another trailer to introduce new culinary concepts while maintaining the bold personality that defines the Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars brand.
Every menu item reflects the company’s philosophy that comfort food can be both approachable and imaginative. Pulled pork remains a centerpiece, appearing in wraps, melts, loaded sandwiches, and signature creations enhanced by house-made sauces and carefully layered flavors. Cajun seafood, buffalo chicken, smoky barbecue, fresh ingredients, and distinctive combinations create a menu that encourages guests to explore something new while enjoying familiar Southern favorites.
Fountain believes the company’s success stems from remaining connected to the communities it serves while continuously raising its own standards.
“Our passion has always been sharing great food with great people,” Fountain said. “As we celebrate this anniversary, we’re focused on growing responsibly, expanding our reach, and continuing to create experiences that bring people together around incredible meals. The next chapter is about sharing that passion with even more communities.”
Looking ahead, Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars plans to continue expanding its presence while strengthening its catering services and introducing additional concepts that build on the creativity customers have come to expect. The company’s long-term vision remains centered on delivering memorable food experiences while preserving the authenticity that has earned loyal customers throughout the Mid-South.
Ten years after taking a chance on an ambitious dream, Yippie Trippie & The Porkstars continues to demonstrate how entrepreneurial determination, culinary innovation, and genuine community support can transform a single food truck into one of the region’s most recognizable dining destinations.
