Business
In sailor tattoo culture, a bird represents a significant event or milestone in one’s travels. For Luke Cypher, the food truck business that he started five years ago, aptly named Blue Sparrow, is his great adventure. Globally inspired flavors and ingredients form the basis for accessible and unique street cart dishes. Luke’s food journey has taken him many places, including culinary school and gigs at Market District and Piccolo Forno in Lawrenceville. He also took a detour for a while to help with a local Pittsburgh church plant where his passions for community, music, and food all came together.Early in Luke’s career he was at a crossroads between starting a brewery or becoming a chef. Although there is no doubt he would have created some amazing beer, we Pittsburghers are thankful for the delicious food that he serves us today. By bringing his food truck directly to the people, Luke is able to satisfy his love for building community while serving creative and fun dishes. Seeing people smile while enjoying the food he has prepared remains a vital part of why he chooses to operate Blue Sparrow as a mobile business.If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below.
