Street Food Stories — Season 1, Episode 17
A Jersey City native and trained culinary school graduate, Chef Prime Time has been through a rebrand, a bad business partnership, and a hard lesson on product over money — and now he's building toward a full-blown franchise.
In this episode, we talk with Chef Prime Time about starting out at Celebrity Lounge in Jonesboro before moving into the food truck game, his time studying culinary arts at Hudson Community College, and the rough early business partnerships that taught him to invest in the product first and the relationships second. We get into the story behind his rebrand from Celebrity Munchies to his current catchy, jingle-driven concept, his ambitious plan to build and rent out food carts to chefs in different cities, and a full breakdown of the menu — from lunch boxes and taco meals to his self-created pizza bread, jerk chicken, oxtail, and a New York-style chopped cheese sandwich. He also walks through his catering packages, including a seven-pan special built for big events.
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 18.
