My Former Food Filled Life
I was the business half of Bigmista's. My husband and I owned and operated a successful and popular food business. Our success landed my husband on season 2 of Barbecue Pitmaster, The Ultimate BBQ Showdown and a national commercial for Arby's.
We were both on The Great Food Truck Race, Man Fire Food and multiple segments of Good Day LA. Jonathan Gold's 99 Things To Eat Before You Die list was just one of the many we were featured on.
We catered for Kate Hudson, Morena Baccarin and Sofia Coppola. We catered for the sets of The Office, The Exes, Dexter and something else I can't remember.
Does this sound like a million dollar brand to you?
WAIT! Did you forget your keys?
