Thank you for watching my day in the life at my food truck video. I wanted to show you all what happens behind the scenes at my food truck and talk a little about my experiences so far. I'm loving running my own BBQ business and as you'll see, it's a ton of work. If you're ever in the El Paso area, come check out my food truck and say hello.
