Was lovely meeting these fine southern folks who just opened up 3 months ago and making waves with their home style cooking and friendly service. Listen now to hear the story of how Zack and Kali opened up their spot! Plus Shu eats Dim Sum and Syd goes to vindictive wings. Shocking.

Chef Lily shares her inspiring story of risking it all. The Fortuna boys talk about why keeping it simple is the best way to make a sandwich shine.

"Illegal Catering" with Kyle Marty of Flyin' Taco and Rey and Osiel Gastelum of Tacos Cometa Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

This is what the podcast is all about. I had Tacos Cometa last night in Fremont and the food blew me away. I just had to get these guys in the studio to find out what they are about. Turns out there is a good reason they cook tacos like Michelin star chefs. It was also great meeting Kyle who was able to move from food truck to brick and mortar from the support of community.
