How could I discover 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:36.240 this fabulous cuisine? I was actually about eleven years old 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:41.320 at my mom's dad and it was towards the end 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.920 of the month.

Keep a little butter or margarine. 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.760 A lot of times you couldn't find a lot of 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.680 noids in the house. So I actually brought back mermories 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.000 just using a fork. Oh we have that butter knife 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:13.160 most cool, so you're really trying to do it.

You get that might be toasted, 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.519 I mean buttered up right there. So you're eleven years 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.240 old and you're handling the stove. Yes, I used always 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.000 just going to kitchen and just look at my pops 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.480 like this while he was making everything, And I'm like, 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:46.920 I'm gonna go in there and make something that I 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.760 know I can't burn up, but it still feel like 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.000 I'm cooking. So hey, you hear the salami sissling like this, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.360 I'm cooking now? Really? And you where are your parents 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:06.440 when you're over there playing chef?

Great, it's the wrong one, 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.040 but that's cool, and you gotta be scarling you feel 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.560 me and push it down with your hand, like so, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.000 can you describe this ALLOMMI I was supposed to get, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.480 apposed to one? I got? Okay, the salammie that you 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.480 were supposed to get, it's actually about six inches circular 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.640 like this, with a gang of big black peppercorns in 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:36.800 there and a little bit of fat in there, tooth. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.440 And then these are how would you describe these in comparisons? 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:50.280 These are your dainty uh zinish pieces of salaman. That's 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.640 what you put on crackers. Hunt, I'd agree, but you 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.800 saysling pretty good over here, so you probably got a 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.840 little action. I feel like if I was trapped on 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.120 a desert island, I would eat very well with you, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.040 because you were making it work, even though I totally 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.200 didn't get to the ingredients you I was supposed to get. Now, 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.320 I was trying to add your egg in there real quick. 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.640 You're gonna cook the salami with you, tell me, that's 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.839 why it's called a scalless. So now you're gonna put 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.479 your salami to the side, don't you gonna have him together, 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:24.000 team work. So he's cooking the salami in butter. Uh, 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.200 a little bit of butter, and you keep the salami 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.640 in there so it could get something a little bit 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.040 of the fat from the salami and the skillet as 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.400 well with the butter flavor for the egg. Don't have 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:40.200 to use too many seasons. Everything you're scalless. O scalless. Okay, there, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:45.280 everything scannless. I'm with it. Everything scalless, everything scalless. All right, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.160 So this dish is originating from your finding random ingredients 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.120 in your kitchen without trying to burn down the house. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.240 And that's all we got. Nice And your dad was 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.480 the chef at home, not your mom. Yeah, the primary 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:04.640 chef my mom. We'll see this, but I'm not tripping. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.160 She only was making spaghetti and hamburgers at first until 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.720 my pops came around, and then he actually elevated her 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.480 whole millinery palette. Okay. So, and was your pops like 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:19.640 a chef in real life or that was only a 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.320 chef in the one of the state penitentiaries used the 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.080 top chef in there though. Oh is that what he 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:30.520 Oh that's where he was a chef side like that boom, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.440 Yoka like that. Everybody don't like a fat yo, so 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:35.920 you got to kind of bust it down in there. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.200 So the mixing boom, how did you get that there? 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.200 She like, what is he doing for to get it together? Rightly? Lightly? 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.360 The studio smells great? Okay, cool. So your pops is 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.280 a chef in Madsted. So he was a chef in 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:58.720 the prison for down cor and you said, in the penitentiary, yes, 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.760 ma'am okay, and then he come home cook for you guys. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.360 In addition to cooking at no while he was spending 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.159 his time in there, he became one of the chefs 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.000 in the penitentiary. He was spending time in the correct 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:16.040 oh twists. Yeah. So then he gets out and then 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.880 he takes his culinary skill set to you guys. More. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.240 We think that my dad already knew how to cook 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.320 and whip up, so he just went in there and 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:32.080 um made his surroundings adapt to him where it's more comfortable. 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.320 So it's like instead of just sitting in the cell 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.440 all day long, it's like, okay, let him know, I 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.320 know how to cook. So now you're cooking for all 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.800 the wardens and sheriffs and the police. In there, and 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.440 you don't even have to go cook for all the inmates. Wow, sine, 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.240 So it was actually kind of a perk. So he 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.640 didn't cook for the inmate. Correct did not. And while 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.640 all this is going on, you're at home cooking or 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.040 you're are you starting to dab inge cooking yet until 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.760 you Yeah, the first dish I ever made, being honest, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.719 we're deviled eggs. That's my favorite. Why do we have 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.880 deviled eggs day? I didn't know that I love deviled 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.239 eggs because that was my first dish ever even thought 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.320 to even put on the stove. So now we're coming 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.480 to davil, little mustard on the first toasted one. Okay, 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.920 looking good over there. Okay, okay, we move you to 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.320 the side. Remember everything, Scar, It looks like it doesn't 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.480 take that long to make this, don't. That's why I 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.160 was in and out before my mom was smelling anything 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:37.040 in the kitchen. Okay, fel So, I'm not trying to detour, 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.200 but I heard that your first entrepreneur startup was you 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.760 were making You were selling case of dias in your 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:49.640 mom's front yard. Boss, Okay, the first entrepreneurial endeavor was 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.560 selling candy at school from the sixth grade to high school. However, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.520 I didn't get paid for that. I was actually told 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.800 that I was going to get a car, actually two cars. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.600 It was a great buddy of mine and he promised 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.600 me those two cars. And I'm still waiting for him 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.600 till today. So it's it's it was a learning experience, 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.120 I'll say, because I learned how to be an excellent entrepreneur. 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:15.880 I'm sorry for the egg to touch the first part 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:20.120 of the toast, okay, and then put these back and 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.640 here just for a second to warm them up. You're 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:27.560 getting a little bit softer. And um, after I got 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.920 out of high school, I still didn't have my car. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.600 So then I so, you're selling candy this whole time, 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.160 waiting for the homie, and you're giving him the money 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.640 every single day, and he promises you a car. How 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.120 much candy were you selling every day? For sure? For 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:50.679 sure at very minimal a hundred dollars of candy a day, Like, yeah, 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:55.160 I was getting reported in you feel me? And then 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.559 after I report that in, it's like, I'm gonna give 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.320 me this car. That's the only thing I'm thinking. I'm 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.720 gonna get a car. I'm gonna get a car. Yeah, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:09.440 car still never came. I mean, you gotta share these tacks. Man. Oh, 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:10.920 this right here, this is how we could have milk 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:15.200 that cheese real fast. So that's fine. He just took 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.960 some water for everyone listening, and he put a little 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.920 dab of water in the pan while it was hot, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.000 and he put the cheese on top of the salami. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.360 He put a plate to kind of I guess keep 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:29.280 the steam inside. Correct. I wish y'all could see what 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.960 I'm seeing, but I'm trying to describe it for y'all 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:38.319 because everything scalless, everything scanless, and the cheese melting totally works. Okay. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.880 It's your steam bouncing off the plate into the skillet 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.960 and also the heat and as it goes up and down, 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.600 it's gonna melt your cheese. Simple and it doesn't take over. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.320 That was about twenty seconds. So you don't bring your 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:54.040 hand or anything. Yeah, we're ready. So how do you 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.480 go from selling candy? I understand you didn't get the 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:01.320 car to to to becoming chef? Oh show all flavor, 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:06.839 no Greece, like you gotta make two two of these? 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:13.640 You know that? Right? Is everything scaled? Okay? Um? So 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.280 boom candy game stop when I was actually went on 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.720 hiatus when I was in about the twelfth grade. After 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.040 twelfth grade, got out of school, I liked weed. We 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.360 were so intriguing to me. I started to sell weed. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.520 So came the street pharmacists for a few years. So 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.400 we was intriguing because you liked how it's sold or 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.920 you liked how it felt. Both. Okay, so it's like 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.880 get your sack, get your money back, and then you're 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.440 getting high for free base. But I got tired of 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.439 that because I didn't see like, you know, four or 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.080 one K and that after a while, so I'm like, 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.760 I have to do something that it's gonna give me 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:56.360 some money that time. And you know about four one K? Yeah, 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.120 I know about a retirement plan. Okay, I'm like, I 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.040 know I'm one of these. You need to cook way 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.400 more than this. You sure you know you don't even 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.800 know if you're gonna like I can I can look 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.080 at it. Let me tell you something. I can look 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.120 at this dish and tell you I can eat like 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:16.240 four of these sandwiches. It is. I want to bite 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.880 it right now. I can't please feed, just give me half. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:27.000 It looks so good. I want to take scanless and 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:32.800 scanless everything. It looks so scanless. Okay, I gotta stand 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.920 up because this is so good. And you only cook 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.920 one sandwich. I don't know why he saw two places 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.560 and only cook one sandwich. All I think he thinks 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.720 Bronna diet on this show. But I'm gonna make him 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.959 cook throughout the rest of this interview. While I eat, 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:51.680 I said I was starving. Okay, here we go. Everything scles, yeah, 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.080 here we go, Thank you very much. All right, I 0:11:55.080 --> 0:12:04.319 gotta try this. So you're starving? Mm hmm, oh my god, 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:09.920 don't lie. Tell it true. I ain't gonna lie. This 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:16.360 is bomb. It's amazing and I don't really even mess 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:17.760 with white bread. But I get why do you chose 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.440 white bread? Would you like to DJ Kellen have me 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.120 make another one? Can you make the rest of these? 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.160 You know what? I'm just gonna describe why it's all 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:34.280 great real quick. It's the salami is like a salty, 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.760 you know, very salty, and with the egg and the 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.960 bread being soft, it's and then the cheese melts. It's 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.120 simply amazing. I would I would buy this for breakfast. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.040 I would I would pay like five six books for 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:52.120 this the whole combination of flavor. It's like all flavor. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:58.480 It's really delicious. And for all your listeners when you 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.520 listen to the podcast in the morning, I suggest you 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.880 make this scandless sandwich. Yeah, that's what I like to hear, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.160 everything scanless. That and its meal isn't expensive at all. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:17.000 So how do you transition from a street pharmacists to 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:31.400 all flavor and no grace? God expelled? Actually, actually, um, 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.200 I prayed about it because I'm like, keep it real, 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.160 I'm tired of this ship. I'm only selling weed to 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.360 get high, and that was starting to get irritating to 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.160 me because you're just selling it to get high where 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.920 you weren't making a profit barely. See, I think I 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.240 think that's so true. I don't think pharmacists on the 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.640 street really make that much for going for wheat. For oh, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.439 for other drugs. I didn't say that, but for wheat. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:05.880 Don't you fail me unless you're dumping enormous amount, like 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:10.600 on a very very very very very consistent basis. And 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.559 once I see that I wasn't gonna transition into that, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.920 I said, okay, God, I need something better to do 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.400 straight up, So small still voice came to me and said, 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.720 do what you learned how to doing school? So I 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.680 laughed because I was fat, stanky, wearing hand me down 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.840 clothes and ship. I didn't really even like going to 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:33.720 school like that. The only reason why I like going 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.400 to school was for for a band, because I'm a 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.960 musician as well, and like I said, to make homies, 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.280 make friends and ship. So I was a very loquacious 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.760 and people person, so it wasn't hard to spark conversation 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.800 to be cool with somebody, but it was only gonna 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.040 last so long because it's like he's standing this closely 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:53.200 cool as ship, but he staked. So after I got 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.400 out of high school, because I did, I was musty, 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.040 I was much bigger. It's like you gotta heavy. God, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.000 they've got could hold a lot of sweat, you feel me, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.480 especially if you're trying to keep yourself up and then 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:13.960 you just you can't. So anyways, after hold on trying 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.760 not to burn up the real quick, I'm not even 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.480 gonna SENDMI interrupt you while you put this deliciousness. Just 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:25.240 scand this deliciousness. Okay, So after after I got out 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.360 of high school and I started over on A hundred 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.480 and eight, which is the hood, my neighborhood where I 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.200 was born and raised, that I still didn't care about 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.480 my parents that much. So then I used to just 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.720 come outside, sweat T shirt and on I'm sell awe now. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.280 But like I said, I got tired of that. Then 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.640 after I prayed about that, I'm my Lord, help me. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.120 I need something better to do. He said, do what 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:50.240 you know how to do in school. I'm like, I 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:51.560 don't think I learned how to do in school with 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:54.240 sell candy and make friends to open up a candy house. 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.480 So I'm like, right, So I asked my mom real quick, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.240 and I opened up a candy house. She knew what 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.000 I was doing, so she just didn't want me to 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.640 do that anymore. So she's like, I don't care. So 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.000 within the first three months, the candy house got the 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.680 cracking you feel me. So after the candy house get cracking, 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.880 she like, uh, go get the sellers permit. She's like, 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.480 if you don't get a sellers permit, I'm gonna shut 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.600 it down because by this time, I'm selling Snickers, Recy's twigs, 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.120 kid cat crack the kids. Where where is this candy out? 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.920 And my mom a front yard, I mean her front room, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:29.600 in her living room, and I was like, how close 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:34.840 were you to the school to be able to do this? Ship? Uh? 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.200 Not even a half a mile? About a quartermain, I 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.680 was walking to school every day. You get your sellers, 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.560 I get my sellers, permitte. So now the hood cracking. 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.640 I got the candy house going, got chili dogs, nachos, 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.320 pickles were cool aid like I said, just I got 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.400 it cracking. So now what was next? I go down 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.560 the street. We're chilling, like four or five thick, me 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.120 and some and they make a fat joke. They're like, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.439 get your father's done there selling candy, you might as 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.199 well start felling to selling tacos. And they laughed about it. 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.040 But I thought, like that was a fucking bright idea. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.760 How like he right, I could elevate the million a 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.879 little bit. He's like, go sell them like how to U? 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.080 How to Mesican? Sell them? But sell him like your 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.639 mama make them letters, tomatoes, cheese, so cream, catch up 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.280 hour sauce. I should gonna be bum So your mama 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:28.560 CoA cook? Look, you said, don't talk trained. So once 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.760 um they said that I capitalized on the joke. They 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.399 said that one Friday I didn't one Tuesday, it was 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:41.000 a success. I actually made a fifty bucks profit. And 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.520 I looked at the fifty bucks. It was like, I 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.720 didn't just like this. I said, I'm gonna blow this up. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.000 I'm like, I don't. Took a fifty dollar double up 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.440 with some some some work before and then it took 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.560 forever to try to make this money. And I said, 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.320 I just did this in two hours with some ground beef, 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.960 ground turkey, and some shredded chicken bread tacos. Try to 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.719 get in the following week success, I made seventy three bucks. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.119 So now I'm thinking, I'm like, this's gonna be something. 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.600 That's all. I thought, like, this's gonna be something what 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.160 I don't know? See everything scamer, she I gotta rub 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:18.200 it together. Yeah, everything scammer. So I love I love 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:24.920 everything you're doing right now. So um after after where 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.520 we are at the Candy has to Taco joke, after 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:32.760 the tacos became a hit because everybody bit on it like, 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.240 oh Sam Damn got tacos. Seven Han got tacos. So 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:39.359 now that's cracking. So now I get inspired to make 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.560 an Instagram page. Before that even come the name of flavor, 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.920 no grease job came in a dream promised to God. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:48.800 Like I woke up like three in the morning and 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.400 just said all flavor, no grease. And I asked my said, 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.919 what is that so my mom? She would get irritated 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:57.879 if you go wake her up out of her sleep. 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.960 I jotted to the to the back room. And then 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.240 as I walked to the back room, I woke my mom, like, Mama, 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.400 all flavor, no Greece. First thing she said, not boy, 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:10.879 get your ass out of here. None of that was. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.159 She said, that's catchy. I said, I'm on this something. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.880 So then I was inspired to make an Instagram page. Boom. 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.080 I was only inspired to make three. I mean to 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.800 promote three things, food, God, and positivity. I said, that's easy. 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:31.960 Promote food, get a good camera, good angles, great dish God. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.359 I go to church every Sunday, put an inspirational text 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.840 up with a nice little picture, said God, bless you. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.800 I mean, And then I said positivity, that's the challenge. 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.400 How will you do that?

Who has a big following that's coming 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.200 to support you. You can pop up out the blue. 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.600 You got like seven million followers, but she brought you 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.560 through that only guy like two hundred. But she's like 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.919 a girl. I want you to taste these tacos. You 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.160 come over, you lose your mind. The best tacos. Now 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.680 what you're doing? I just came to the East South 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.120 East Fire Tactos. Now the following just starts to grow 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.320 and grow and grow. So everything was really done organically, 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:55.880 but the grind you just took time. So how old 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:57.600 are you and this is all going on because it 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:02.920 seems like you're extreme level of youngness. I started ten 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:09.240 years ago, wow, ten years ago, and during your whole 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.800 journey it sounds like one one ft led to another. 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:17.159 But I'm sure there were points where it wasn't easy. 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.200 Like when you're talking expansion, I would have guessed because 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:26.040 your food typen. Now, you know right, It actually never 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.919 ever ever suspected that it was going to even go 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:33.200 this far. It was only wow, everything scounled you was 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:36.680 to play, but it never was suspected to go this far. 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.879 I always thought that the candy house and everything was 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:44.359 just finish cleaning up. No one ever cleans on this show. 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.000 But but I appreciate, but because I'm sorry, I just 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.520 had to shout that afterwards. I just I looked at 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:52.679 it as a small hustle. I just knew that I 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:54.879 was tired of, like I said, set a way and stuff, 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.440 and I knew that I wanted to do better. I 0:21:57.480 --> 0:21:59.840 knew I wanted more, and I said, it's not gonna 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.160 think with me selling. So when I started to push 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:06.160 the line with the full open doors that I never 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.760 thought in life, interviews everything, and it made it even 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:17.600 better once the following reached past ten thousand and then 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:21.320 the interviews started coming from everywhere, The people start coming 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.920 from everywhere, and it's just been a like a little 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:28.560 engine that could going up the hill. Like he's catching 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:31.160 a little momentum. He's trying. He's not really going backwards, 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.000 but it's like he's struggling. But one thing the little 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.840 engine never could, thank you Lord. One thing he never 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.040 did was stopped. He never gave up, no matter how 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.080 much gas, no matter how much, but he just kept 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.840 going and ship. I did the same thing today, and 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:51.960 there were no points where there was like, I feel 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.080 like you're full of faith. But was there any point 0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.000 where you were like, oh, this is a very uncomfortable 0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.440 position or a type position you didn't know what to do? Hell, 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.399 yeah I was. I was setting away with my boy Busy, 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:05.960 the one who the manager on my food truck today. 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.439 But I'm gonna show you how you respect the grind 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.320 boom while I was getting money with him. At first, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:15.679 when I told him like all right, bro, I'm going 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.200 to leave it alone, like I'm gonna really really really 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.720
