- In the loop food trucks are a lunchtime fav
cause there's a little something for everyone.
And I'm particularly excited to try Chesa's today
cause the sign on the truck says,
you get stuff free.
Woohoo, free stuff!
- I do not think it means what you think it means.
- Your business is born out of necessity.
- And so I have Celiac Disease.
It was difficult for me to find food to eat.
So I was like, oh my God I'm always hungry.
And I was like, someone needs to start
a gluten free food truck and-- - [Elliott] Why not you?
- [Chesa] Yes.
- [Elliott] So you guys are killin' it?
- [Chesa] Yes.
- What are your staples, '
what are the ones people keep coming back to you for?
- So we do the All Hale Kale Salad
and then the Lob, Crab Mac and Cheese.
- I wouldn't expect that to be something that
someone with gluten issues could eat.
- People who do have like Celiac or gluten intolerance
having macaroni and cheese is like a delicacy.
It's like oh my God.
- I love it!
Mac and cheese is one of the best foods ever.
- I grew up in Wisconsin so anything with cheese is so--
- That's not your fault.
- Thank you, thank you. - You're welcome.

- People will be thinking that inside of your food truck
is like a Tardis.
- It's bigger on the inside.
- Is it, I hadn't noticed.
- Spoiler, we're not inside the food truck right now.
We have some water boiling.
- Okay, take the gluten free pasta,
elbow macaroni that's made from rice and potato flour.
Just dump it in,
I let it cook for about three to five minutes.
We'll skip forward all the water boiling bit,
okay, you guys can...
What's next with our pasta made?
- We're gonna add our cumin and chili powder.
- Just straight in?
- Let the Gods tell you when to stop.
- When the food Gods, when they speak sense too,
you don't wanna know about the voices in my head.
- Okay.
- [Elliott] Next stop a little dried parsley
and garlic powder but not without checking in
with the food Gods, of course!
- That sound good guys, you agree with that?
They're answering, they agree.
They said that's a good amount.
- Now we can add in the crab meat.
- This takes our mac and cheese and it does something else.
This takes a basic t-shirt and adds a bow tie
and a jacket on top of that.
- Cause it says like, I wanna be formal,
but I'm here to party too.
- We've got blended cheeses in here.
Do I put the whole thing in?
- [Chesa} You Can.
- Because when you said when the Gods gave you--
- Yeah.
- And they were saying to me, they were saying like,
Elliott just add the whole thing in.
- Yeah, so then we're gonna add in
the Parmesan Alfredo cheese.
Finally the double Cheddar cheese.
- [Elliott] Oh yeah, oh yeah!
All right, mac and cheese is made.
Hail Kale.
- We first wanna start with the extra virgin olive oil.
Maybe two tablespoons worth.
Massage once it's all in.
- Could you change the music?
I like like strange music when I'm massaging.
(mystical instrumental music)
Oh yeah, thank you, that's more my speed.
(whispering) You're beautiful.
I don't care what other people say about you.
You're worth it, shhh, relax.
Garlic powder and gluten free soy
kick this massage up a notch.
- So then you want to add in the fresh veggies,
I have tomatoes, cucumbers and red onions
and shredded carrots and then the same
with the shredded broccoli.
You just top it off with a little parsley for color.
And we are done.
- Then you and I
can get back to the truck-- - yes.
- and we can eat.
(jazzy instrumental music)
- I have clout in this city. - Oh.
- I know a few people so I set us up
a nice intimate dining experience,
here in Presidential Plaza.
You get to add the protein and we've already talked about.
And this is your fried chicken?
- Yup.
- Well I think we should dive right in.
(jazzy instrumental music)
- The cumin and the different little layers of spice
does a little dance on your tongue.
With a robust, party flavor that you couldn't find
anywhere else in a mac so.
- That's so smart.
I wouldn't know that mac and cheese was any different
to real mac and cheese. - Yeah.
- I'm even going to be a good boy
and try some of this Hale Kale.
That's a good combo!
Thank you for opening my eyes.
- No problem.
- And thank you for making my taste buds dance.
It's a mac and cheese for everyone.
It does not discriminate.
