Happy holidays! On this Merry Christmas episode, Mikey Vince joins the pod to discuss starting a food truck during a pandemic as well as some of his favorite Christmas foods and traditions.
Mikey's love for food began as a kid. His passion ignited at age 4 when he tried to surprise his grandma and almost burned down her kitchen. Mikey’s connection to food and family traditions are embedded in his unique version of New Mexican street food. Regardless of his career path, be it as CEO of Live Life Multimedia or on a construction job site as Project Manager, Mikey never stopped cooking. He knew the culinary arts were his passion.
Burnt Fideo was a concept born from “prep meals with a twist.” His goal was to preserve New Mexican culinary cuisine in a healthy format. Within months of the opening, Mikey had to re-think his business model to survive and thrive in the pandemic and the new norm, Burnt Fideo (V.2).
Burnt Fideo is a whole vibe. When you visit the truck the music, the food, and the aesthetics are part of the experience.
Mikey talks in depth about the inception of his creations and plans to expand his successful business venture.
