How did you decide on the name?
One evening, my daughter and I conversed about launching a food truck. We toyed with various titles, then the term “munchies” came up, leading to the inspiration for the name Munchie Annihilators due to our hunger.
What instigated the start of a food truck venture?
It was my daughter’s brainchild because I always ingrained in my children that their life’s pursuits should be driven by passion and love, to never feel like they are working. Hence, my daughter ventured into the realm of the food truck business.

What’s the most challenging part of operating a food truck?
Personally, the most challenging aspects are the extended hours and the physical labor. However, I am passionate about this work, and ultimately, it rewards you monetarily.
