Tra’s Gourmet launched in 2022 but was well planned by Tra’ during Covid. He bought an empty cargo trailer and had it built out with two fryers, one flat top, production cooler, freezer and a Pepsi cooler.

He credits many people today for his success , but most importantly he wants people his age to be inspired by his success.
