About Our Roots

True Penn Yan locals.

After returning to their hometown, co-owners and Penn Yan natives, Ben Comstock and Jim Coriale both saw an opportunity to get back to their roots. Out of their passion and love of all things food and crafting a one-of-a-kind experience in the community they love, True Roots Food Truck and Full Service-Catering was born.


Opened in 2019, it didn't take long for True Roots to become a staple in the Penn Yan and Finger Lakes community. After seeing quick success with their local Food Truck and Full-Service Catering arm, Ben and Jim decided to expand and open True Roots Kitchen at LBC - another way to continue doing what they love, seeing people smile and come together over great food.


Their hopes for True Roots is that it becomes a staple in their local community for years to come, a place that people think of when someone asks, "Where's the best place to eat in the Finger Lakes?"

True Roots Food Truck

Local Food Truck

Rooted in the Finger Lakes.

In 2017, co-owners Ben Comstock and Jim Coriale took the chance and opened up their very own Food Truck. It was here where they first started to craft their elevated and unique approach to farm-fresh, gastro pub fare.

True Roots Food Truck was the first gourmet-style food truck to serve Penn Yan and the Finger Lakes area. Their goal was to reinvent the neighborhood food truck to create a timeless fusion of old and new, blending familiar comforts with their own local flair. From satisfying staples to their own unique creations, they truly have something for everyone.


But why start with a Food Truck when the food they were making didn't necessarily fit into the Food Truck mold? They wanted to make their food accessible. No matter where they were or what type of event they served, True Roots Food Truck was there to put a smile on everyone's face.

True Roots Kitchen

at Laurentide Beer Company in downtown Penn Yan.

After Laurentide Beer Company owners, Marla and Tracey Hedworth, along with close friends and Brewers Brett and Jackie Driscoll, purchased the restaurant behind their brewery in 2021, they knew exactly who they wanted to partner with, True Roots Food Truck and Full-Service Catering.


Local chef Ben Comstock, co-owner of True Roots Catering started designing a menu of elevated, gastro-pub fare, the first of its kind in downtown Penn Yan.


The current True Roots Kitchen at Laurentide Beer Co. menu features a mix of delicious sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and homemade sides, along with a full-service bar that serves Laurentide craft beer and local wines and spirits. The space itself is true to the True Roots brand - an open-air experience featuring reclaimed, natural wood from the Comstock farm in Branchport.


Today, you can stop in and check out True Root's international menu and ever changing specials. The True Roots brand has grown and expanded, but you can always expect them to be true to their roots.
