Episode 11 - Patriot Grill

A Military Veteran's Journey into the Food Truck Business

In this podcast, we had the pleasure of talking to Bud and Belle, the founders of Patriot Grill, a food truck that started right at the beginning of the pandemic. Bud is a military veteran and patriot of the country, which is reflected in the food he serves and the logo he has incorporated with an eagle.

Before Patriot Grill, Bud was a K9 handler and served in the military for eight years. He talked about how his experience in the military and his love for cooking inspired him to start a food truck.

Patriot Grill's menu is a fusion of different cuisines, including American, Mexican, and Italian. Bud mentioned that he loves experimenting with different flavors and ingredients, which is evident in the unique dishes he serves.
