“I’ve had this truck for four years. But we get tickets every week. And that’s not a good feeling but we need to fight the fight. We have a lot of unemployed people in Chicago who need to make something of themselves in this business. 

“We fight because I get repeat customers every day and it feels good. We know we are making something good. We are making something the people want.”
