GUERRIER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nancy Guerrier\u2019s\u00a0passion for cooking was ignited by her father\u2019s cooking and the TV series <\/span>Iron Chef<\/span><\/i>. Soon after, her dad encouraged her to pursue a career in the culinary field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Guerrier began working on the idea to run a food truck business with her dad in 2014, but he passed away last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, she will be able to live out their vision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still in the moment,\u201d Guerrier said. \u201cThis is God\u2019s blessing to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Guerrier, who has 17 years of culinary experience, has worked as a cook, shift manager, cashier and a food runner at various restaurants and fast-food chains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She earned an associate\u2019s degree in hospitality tourism management from Wolfson Campus in 2017. In April, she will complete the chef apprentice program at the campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Guerrier is scheduled to open her food truck business within the next month. It will specialize in Haitian American Cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tywanda Dupont<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

DUPONT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the age of 14, Tywanda Dupont began baking. She developed a fondness for the craft thanks to her mother. After having kids, Dupont sought to maintain her mother\u2019s penchant for home-cooked meals. When she noticed that her children loved her breakfasts, she began to specialize in creating brunch-like menus and French toast recipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, her culinary repertoire has expanded to include southern cooking and seafood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After taking a hospitality management and catering class at <\/span>William H. Turner Technical Arts High School<\/span>, Dupont started catering events. She has also worked as a meal prepper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dupont is currently enrolled in the chef apprentice program at Wolfson Campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her food truck\u2014Ty\u2019s Hometown Caf\u00e9 and Bistro\u2014will officially open within the next month. The menu will specialize in brunch recipes such as filled French toast, wings and sandwiches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels absolutely amazing to witness,\u201d Dupont said. \u201cI\u2019m happy I\u2019m being able to show the world what I\u2019m capable of.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Clarence Davis <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
DAVIS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Clarence Davis stepped into the cooking arena when he was eight years old. He recalls hunting for wild deer and bulls with his grandparents and collecting wild plants in the Appalachian Mountains to cook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, Davis has continued his culinary journey by specializing in exotic cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy thing is not necessarily one type of dish,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI just like to include [flavors] from different places all over the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Davis\u2019 food truck\u201413 Pirates Eat\u2014will carry a menu that will specialize in serving exotic dishes such as pineapple rice, soft shell crab, alligator tail and blacktip shark. Bikers will also have a specially designated parking space where they can park and eat.\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

His food truck is expected to open for business in the next few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate the opportunity and experience,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt feels good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
