Tell us about what your morning routine looks like, and how you like to end your day?
We start our day pretty normal.. with a whole lotta caffeine! Then I typically do some computer work while Keith starts cleaning and prepping on the truck. Ending our day typically consists of hanging out in the hot tub and staring at the stars before bed.
Do you have any awards or achievements you’d like to mention?
We have not won any awards. But, I think deciding to start a food truck and then a year later having it be as successful as it is, is an achievement all on its own.
Do you have a favorite chef that you look up to and what advice would you give to aspiring chefs?
There are so many greats!! It’s not possible for me to choose one.. Alton Brown, Alex Guarnaschelli, Antonia Lofaso, Gordon Ramsay, Robert Irvine, and of course Anne Burrell. As far as advice for an aspiring chef, the culinary industry is extremely high pressure and demanding. You need to have a good work ethic, passion for food, and a determination to constantly improve. Stay organized and focus on quality and cleanliness!! It’s almost more of a lifestyle than just a job.

What do you typically cook at home?
We are a family of foodies so we cook a little bit of everything. Stuffed chicken breast or ribs on the smoker, lasagna, fried rice, Swedish meatballs, hot dish.. It just depends on what we’re hungry for.
What’s a food trend that you’re loving right now and why?
I don’t typically follow trends, I tend to march to the beat of my own drum in the kitchen (well, and out of the kitchen).
What’s the strangest food combination you’ve ever tried? And, did you like it?
I don’t know if this is considered strange, but, cowboy candy pickled eggs. I LOVE them!
What drink do you enjoy most?
Water, it’s the best drink in the house.
Have you ever cooked for a celebrity? Do you have a story to tell?
Last year we got the opportunity to do an event for Gary “The Peace Man” Barth. During the event we were fortunate enough to listen to and feed Slim Man and Chase Huna of Rat Pack Duo. Amazing music, and they LOVED our food (even ate multiple times during the event).
