Tell us something about you or your business:
I came to New York in 1977 to build a better life for myself. I started off as a babysitter, but I always knew that I wanted to cook. When I met my husband, who is from Pakistan, together we started Trini-Paki Boys-named after my sons. I do all the cooking, and I love it. My husband no longer helps with the business, but my son, Muhammed is at the grill everyday.
Why do you deserve to win the Vendy Award?
I put all of my energy and my heart in my food. My food is good, unique and is made with love. My customers are like family, some of them have been coming to my cart since I began. I grind my own spices, make all my sauces from scratch and I never went to school to learn how to cook, I learned in my mother's kitchen.
