Our guests this week are three gentlemen who have a passion for food and a burning desire to make a difference.
As soon as the pandemic struck, they took matters into their own hands and embarked on a journey that would change the course of their lives forever. They began by making mouthwatering hamburgers in their kitchens, serving friends and family. Little did they know that their delicious creations would capture the hearts and taste buds of an entire community. Fast forward to today, and these three wizards have transformed their passion project into a booming business.
They now have not one, but two food trucks roaming the streets, delighting customers with their unique flavor combinations and irresistible aromas.
Topics we discussed: - Challenges they faced along the way - Plans for growth - Unforgettable lessons - Resilience - The power of chasing your dreams
