If you're an investment banker, you know, it's not going to go well.

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

It's the interesting thing with that field as well, because you're working your butt off, but you're not doing it to get rich.

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

You're doing it because you kind of love it and you're in it, right?

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

Do you remember the moment we started thinking food trucks?

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

Food Trucks with Roy Choi

Do you remember when that became a spark or a concept?

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

so in new zealand we don't have a food truck culture at all like we'll get food trucks at a bougie music festival you know but as far as just being on the street not really a thing so in a really basic way what makes food truck culture so special in general like what is it about it because in new zealand we didn't have the experience of being a kid walking around being able to just interact with that it's weird that you wouldn't have it because your weather seems very similar to ours so good yeah and it's so good and um

Just not the idea of here's a truck that rolls up, it parks on the side of the street.

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

No, that culture, we've got like one big food truck in Auckland where I'm from and that's it.

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

So what is it that makes it so special if you haven't grown up with that?

Flightless Bird
Food Trucks with Roy Choi

Obviously, it's like it makes food accessible to people, it's cheaper, it's quick, and it's good.

You have to be mobile.
