Yeah, I if I could even get my mouth around, it will get to that in just a moment. We are talking a lot to in today, bringing together past and present recipes from grandma. But also the things that kids today that we will love to have coming out of a food truck. Chef Fabian is with us right now. The mastermind behind this amazing Peruvian passion project. Tell us a little bit about how grandma played such a part of this and how your own skills led to this. Yeah. So growing up, my grandmother always, she was a chef. My great grandmother was a chef. We all learned from grandma smelling her food, the aromas of her food, you know, gave me the desire to cook. So that's how I ended up going to culinary school. I cooked with her for many years and then decided to go on my own. I opened up my own food truck and then, and then look, yeah, I mean, all the flavors that you have here comes from ancestors, comes from grandma. And um, and then I put my touch into it. That's why it's Peruvian. But with a fusion. So that's why we call that Latus. Latus. I love it. And the product is unbelievable. We have some of their staple items out here on the table right now. Including I know these are the big ones, these Lomo fries. What makes them different. So this is like since we're a food truck, I wanted to have something that's handheld. So we instead of the traditional ways with white rice, but we just did it on top of crispy fries. And this burger we've had burgers on food truck, Friday. This is a burger. This is a big burger. This is our go to. So this is the Lomo burger. So this is a take on our Lomo fries, but we loaded a burger cheese. So you have that beef stir fry with onions and tomatoes. And then we put our signature sauces on top. Let's talk about the sauces right now. He says that the drizzle is paramount to excellent product coming out of this truck and he's going to let me drizzle. Let's go. Let's go. What am I drizzling with? Now, we're gonna go. So right here we have our truffle mac and cheese with our fusion wings. You're going to drizzle a little bit of the blue cheese on top. All right. Don't be scared. I'm not, I mean, I'm a little scared but, you know, there you go. She's a natural. There you go. Sign me up, roll me out with the truck, but that's not it. I do the orange sauce right on top also. You're gonna do that drizzle also. Right on top. And what is this? That's the ricotta and then we're going to just hit it with the cilantro cilantro. He is known as Cilantro Bay and here's why I hit him with it. Hit him with it. There you go and tell everybody where they can find you. We have the storefront, but we also have a great event coming up tonight. Yeah. So tonight we are going to be at Lions Park in Porchester. There's a concert series. So we'll be there tonight from 630 to 9 p.m. That's a great event. You can also check out on social media. It's going to be a beautiful night for it.
