I've always loved to cook and I'm a volunteer firefighter and that's another thing I'm passionate about so that's where the name of my food truck came from. I love to provide great food to my customers and that is the reason we give all 1st responders and military a 15% discount.

I have always loved the idea of a food truck, and was given the opportunity to start one up. I love what I do and doesn't feel like I am working. We serve fun food using the fresh ingredients and upholding a high standard of customer service. My sliders are a little bigger than the normal one you would make at home. Everything is freshly made from sauces to pickles and condiments.

I am passionate about serving others. My food allows me to bring people together at a table while indulging in good comfort food. The unique thing about my business is authenticity! I thrive on bringing authentic cuisines to my customers by affording them opportunities to taste various cuisines which are not available in this region. I wish every customer knew the food is not spicy. Every dish is full of flavor and a little “kick of heat”.
