Meet The Team
Denise Zanman
Hi, my name is Denise Zanman and I have been a foodie for as long as I can remember. But I didn’t have a clue about food trucks until I first saw one along the golden sand beaches of California.
I remember it so clearly it’s almost like I’m back there now. It was a sunny spring day and we had spent the long day at the beach. But before driving back to the hotel, we stopped on a whim at a food truck parked on the sandy promenade.
I had a creamy grilled cheese sandwich while my husband had a burger and loaded fries. Now, that grilled cheese was the best thing I had ever eaten. I think I might have accidentally eaten the majority of my husband’s fries, too.
That set me on my mission. I was going to find the best food truck in America, and I was going to have a great time doing so. I have now visited over 50 food trucks, and I’m showing no signs of slowing down!
Hilary O’Shea
Hello, I’m Hilary and I have been a cook for over 20 years. I started out in small restaurants, moving my way up to the big Michelin-star cowboys in the city. But something always felt off… I couldn’t put my finger on it.
That was until Denise came to me after her trip to California. We have been friends since high school - there’s no splitting us up. She told me about her mission to find the best food truck in America.
I’ll be honest - I didn’t think much of it at the time. That was until she invited me to visit one in our local state of Florida. It was a tiny truck with glass bulb lights hung all around it and large colorful signs out front. It looked like a dream!
The food was some of the best I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. I had the crazy idea to start a food truck myself, and who better to bring along for the ride than Denise?
Now we’re on a never-ending mission to get our name out there and find the best food truck in America (apart from ours, obviously).
