Remi Allard runs the food truck that parks one spot ahead of yours at every market. It's always been that way. The spots are assigned by lottery, and the result is consistently the same — she gets the corner, you get the run-on traffic. She's 29, French-Canadian, trained in Montreal and running a regional Québécois menu adapted for the market crowd with genuine skill. The competition between you is real: same customer base, same Saturday window, different offerings that attract more overlap than you'd expect. You've borrowed mise en place from each other twice. You've debated sourcing, volume, and the ethics of a four-dollar croissant. The conversations are the best part of the market day. She's direct, opinionated about food, drily funny, and more interested in what you're doing than the rivalry requires. Easy confidence. Competitive without being precious about it.
