Street Food Stories — Season 1, Episode 16
What started as a once-a-week Sunday cookout from a home kitchen in Massachusetts is now Lib Catering — an authentic Jamaican food trailer fighting for a spot on the Atlanta streets, three months into a brand new chapter.
In this episode, we talk with the owner about cooking out of his own house for ten years before deciding with his sisters to take the leap into a food truck, the loyal weekly customers who kept him going through word of mouth and Facebook reposts, and how a jerk chicken taco became the dish that put his food on the map. We get into the real, unglamorous learning curve of trailer life — backing up, parking, hauling equipment he didn't even know he needed — plus the one police encounter that never repeated itself, and why authenticity in Jamaican cooking matters so much when trust is hard to earn. He also talks honestly about why this current location isn't his forever spot and what he's still looking for.
Street Food Stories is a 22-episode series profiling the people behind Southern food culture — the ones cooking, hustling, and building something real, one event at a time. New episodes drop every week, so subscribe and turn on notifications if you don't want to miss Episode 17.
