we love food trucks here on daytime and
today we are thrilled to welcome ty this
food truck yeah they're here outside of
our studios through lunch and joining us
to share more about this amazing food
truck we have Brian and Morgan thank you
so much for coming on absolutely so tell
us about ty this food truck well we're
actually just finishing up our fifth
season ah so we've been trucking for a
good bit now we do come to Roanoke we
have business licenses in nine different
places I kind of go all over the place
spicing people up and we've got some
great food for you today yeah let's talk
about Thai food a lot of people don't
realize you know what kind of food it is
people think maybe it's too spicy to
them let's talk a little bit about the
types of food absolutely well my wife is
from Thailand that's the reason why we
do Thai food and probably not mashed
potatoes because you hear my accent yes
the perception of Thai food is it's all
spicy being here that we are in
Southwest Virginia and a lot of folks in
the New River Valley have never had Thai
food so we kind of start with no spice
and let people choose to go up if they
like and we've got some really great
choices today our grilled beef salad
which is probably my personal favorite
no you picked the spice one in that one
okay okay and tell me what's in it it
has got a lot of fresh veggies grilled
beef shoulder tender that's a lime
dressing that we make we made this one
like mild just give you just a little
kick the first dish I ever tried Brian
and Brian and mommy used to have people
over at their house all the time you
know before we ever thought that she'd
have a food truck she was really wanting
a restaurant she couldn't find the food
that she was used to growing up with
eating around the area she really needed
to have that kind of taste that she was
familiar with she introduced it to all
of us at their house parties and we're
all like you know mom and dad you need a
restaurant you got to do this people
need to know what this is about and it's
been a revolution in this area awesome I
support Bowl this is our version of a
pork barbecue this is the only non Thai
dish that we have up here today we do
sell about 450 to 500 pounds a week of
the stuff people going nuts green
dressing on top you like jalapenos
cilantro dressing that we might also
good on Thanksgiving turkey by the way
they have a long
lady erotica comes and gets a quart of
it every year for her Thanksgiving
turkey chicken gotta try the chicken
okay and the peppers in it's just bell
peppers they're a sweet bell pepper no
spice again like Brian said we like to
serve kind of Smith and not a lot of
spice to start that way people can kind
of ease into it yeah and familiarize
themselves with the flavors without
being intimidated by a spiciness so
there's nothing intimidating not least
you guys got to try these
we are hand rolling a thousand spring
rolls a week now that's why mom and
James not here with us today right now
oh my gosh okay they've got the little
monkey noodles in it you'll fill the
little crunch oh it's got mushrooms
carrots this is the vegetarian version
which all these dishes including the
port bowl
surprisingly can be done with a
vegetarian version we do a tofu bowl
with this oh so we get a lot of
vegetarians a lot of vegans really
really popular with that segment of the
community too everything on here but the
spring rolls is gluten free today so we
