00:00My name is Nnamdi Wanari and I am a practicing attorney and the name of our
00:12business is Meet Me DC. So what should I get? The most popular sandwich is the
00:18Joey Melt. It's our ground beef brisket with caramelized onions and American
00:22cheese. You had me a brisket. Both of my parents they're in the medical field but
00:26they always had businesses outside of their profession. So growing up I saw
00:31that and I always wanted to do that. Living two dreams at once is pretty
00:36incredible. The best thing is when somebody buys a sandwich, they eat it,
00:41and then they come back to the truck five minutes later saying how good it is.
00:43I feel like I need to tell our readers that there's eye candy on the truck. So this is the first ever
00:49sloppy joe food truck. From what we know of. Okay. So would you say that your sandwiches sort of
00:53connect your customers to their childhood memory? They definitely do. A lot of our
00:57customers tell us that they haven't had a sloppy joe since their mom made it.
01:01Sometimes the pressure's on because they want to compare our sloppy joes to their
01:04moms and I could say so far we're undefeated and undefeated. Us versus mom
01:09category. One time somebody actually tried to call their mom but they weren't
01:13able to reach them. So what does food mean to you personally? Food is a it's a
01:18connector. I'm Nigerian ancestry so we have our food elements. Business partner
01:22Naeem Moses. He's from the Carolinas so that southern cuisine is infused. So we try
01:29to kind of immerse the different cultures and bring people together. And I love the
01:32brotherhood aspect of your story. So tell me how two college besties end up in
01:37business together with the food truck. We met in law school actually and after being
01:41practicing attorneys that sloppy joe idea came to light. Of course he wanted to be
01:46involved. Then we planned for about 18 months and then once I moved three
01:50months later we had a truck we had everything. You're kind of winning at
01:53life right now. Capital W. Can I try one? Please. All right our most popular sandwich is the
01:58joey milk sandwich. American cheese. Caramelized onions. Ground beef brisket.
02:04From a local butcher. Cover it up. Ready to serve. Here you are. Thank you thank you thank you.
02:12This is the biggest thing I've had to eat on camera. There's no cute way to do this guys. Forgive me.
02:17I'm about to take my first bite of this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm about to take my
02:23first bite. Are you ready? Oh my god it's amazing. Cut the camera so I can like
02:31demolish this please. There's more to be done. We're not done. We're looking for
02:38expansion opportunities as well. Brick and mortar. That's definitely on our radar.
02:42So hopefully that will be in the near future.
