Keba discussed a recent truck stop they had a few hiccups at. They weren't going as fast as he'd like, but he quickly acknowledged that not everybody is as experienced on a luxe lonchera as he. Parker respected the learning curve of his team, and that is what makes his team more of a family. The way they gossiped spoke about him when off the truck, you could tell that's exactly what they were.
“When you come to my truck, expect a good experience. Expect to have really good food. And if you don't, let me know, and I'll be more than happy to try and figure out what I can do to make it better.”
