Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business? We only serve in Fort Worth are two things I’m proud of. Finding the right spot to serve…įamily owned and operated. I thank HIM for every opportunity.Ĭan you please talk to us a bit about some of the challenges with the business? I think of both of them everytime I run the truck. My Mom and Dad have both passed away… Screw Cancer! I know they are looking down and would be very proud. Funky Town Food Truck would not be possible without them!!Īfter a bad accident April 2019, my hand detached from my arm, I’m hoping to regain full use of my dominant hand…I’m still in recovery for it. My husband David makes sure the truck is cleaned and.ready for the next run. My son David is my Sous chef and right-hand partner. We’re going to keep on trucking as long as we can. We also won Best Food Truck 2017 with Star Telegram and City Favorite 2018. We have won Best food truck three years in a row, voted by the people of this City, Fort Worth Magazine. Private parties are a common request, weddings baby showers and birthdays. We currently serve late night at local hospitals and annual events. We’ve been in Rap videos, served at Strip Clubs, local Benefits, small humble homes in the Northside.5 million-dollar mansions, and pretty much everything in between So for the past six years, we have served Hospitals, Schools, Churches, Bars, Music events… Leon Bridges was and still is a favorite customer of ours. I love serving the people that serve my city. I have a heart for the Hospital employees as my Mom worked in the ER, her sister is an L&D nurse, and my Mom’s baby sister is a Physician, and was an intern on a budget at one time here at JPS. We then connected to our County Hospital and served late-night underground to the staff. Our first serving was at Unity park off Lancaster here in Fort Worth. Then in 2012, when I financially COULD purchase one, I went back to see if it was still for sale… it was! The couple who had ran it shut down because it was too much work for them. I looked at a food truck that was listed for sale in 2011 and thought, yeah right… just a dream. I LOVED working on the truck! Seeing people smile when I handed them a snow come was pure JOY.Īn idea of owning a food truck became reality, Sept 2012. Meatloaf, Fish sticks, sloppy Joe’s, spaghetti, baked cornish Hens, Dad always liked dinner to be fun!Ī fun foundation for SERVING came from my Dad having a snow cone truck when I was in early elementary school. Growing up, my Dad was creative in the kitchen, we always had a themed night. Sometimes after being at the hospital all day people come out hungry no money and need another little bite to eat to be able to take medication that was prescribed to them. You can find us feeding someone who is hungry with no money often… We feel privileged to do so. Cooking food has always been a happy memory for me. I have fond memories of making tamales with my GREAT grandmother Rico and all my family. The first thing my grandma Helen taught me was to make was salsa. I learned to cook from my Mom and my grandmother. The idea of being able to work my own hours, cook delicious food, and serve the amazing people in my city is what fueled my dream. With a passion for cooking and a love for serving others, I was always fascinated by food trucks and thought it would be amazing to have one. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there. Thanks for sharing your story with us Natasha. The board will then have approximately 30 days to send the matter to the full city council.Today we’d like to introduce you to Natasha Salas. Representatives with the city say Zamarripa’s name does not currently fit the criteria for a park name, however the board could suspend the policy and allow the name.Īs of now, the Fort Worth Park and Rec Advisory Board will meet on October 25 and will seek public input on ‘Parque Unidad, Unity Park.’ He did get involved in schools here in Fort Worth.” “Of course, yes I would love for to be named after my son because I want his legacy to continue because his daughter so that way she knows who and what he was about,” said Zamarripa. She said her son was from the southside of Fort Worth and it would be nice for his three-year-old daughter. She said while she supports ‘Parque Unidad,’ she would prefer the park be renamed after her son ‘Patrick Zamarripa.’ Zamarripa is the mother of fallen Dallas Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa who was killed in the Dallas ambush in 2016.
