"It's a very small store front, it was perfect the way I served food geared towards take-out during the pandemic when all the restrictions came," said English.
He adds when all the big restaurants that would generally seat 100 to 200 people had to comply with Massachusetts's Covid guidelines, his business began to pick up. English says business increased 30 to 40 percent during the pandemic.
English is from Florida and picked up more than 200 trophies by entering his food truck in cook-off competitions down South.
