Roody Salvator, owner of Makaya Caters, a food truck serving Haitian cuisine in Utah, has seen his business drop after Donald Trump’s comments about Haitian immigrants eating pets during the presidential debate. Salvator says people are now asking him if he serves cat or dog meat.

SALT LAKE CITY — Roody Salvator is the owner of Makaya Caters, a food truck serving a 'Taste of Haiti.' Immigrating to the U.S. in 2004, he’s one of the only chefs in Utah serving food from his home country.“Typically, Haitians, unfortunately, not known for the cuisine, because we've had so many bad things,” he said.

”At the Downtown Farmers Market on Saturdays, Salvator usually makes more than $1,000; this weekend, he made around $350, he said.“It was unbelievable because somebody literally came in and said, ‘Cat or dog?’” Salvator said.City officials in Springfield, Ohio say there are no credible reports about Trump’s claims. The chef doesn’t know how to combat the rumor.“When you have a plate, you get almost all the flavors,” said Salvator.
