I mean, he was raised on Velveeta.

And for the note, we're not snobs.

We still eat Velveeta.

We just don't call it cheese anymore.

So in that regard, we say- Because Velveeta won't be sponsoring the show anytime soon.

there's a place for everything and nothing makes queso like a velveta all right there's the hedge there's the hedge um and so uh plus everybody needs storm shelter cheese there you go um so we said what are we gonna do or he said something in cheese um and i think he said give me two years i can either go get my mba and put a lot of debt into getting that and come out with a business plan or actually think that i can write my own business plan and put the debt straight into a business

And so he waited.

He's a CPA by trade.

He finished out that season.

He didn't want to leave his employers in the busy season, so he finished it out.

And then he started looking into what his personal adventure would look like.

And at the time, I left my job.

I was a Board of Immigration Appeals accredited rep running a program for immigrant survivors of abuse, like human trafficking and domestic violence.

And I loved the job, but it also was coming to a point where I thought, well, I'm going to have to go back and get

a second grad degree in social work, or I need some other tools in my arsenal to assist the people that I'm helping and to help myself get through it.

And along those lines, we ran a grilled cheese club out of our house, because this was before there was only one other grilled cheese restaurant in the nation.

Clearly, that's a big market now.

It's a market, yeah.

But I'm actually glad we are one of the many who are doing that.

So we ran a grilled cheese club out of our house.
