Lincoln was a man of many layers-practical yet passionate, grounded yet generous. While he had the mind of an Engineer, he had the heart of a Chef, cooking wasn’t just a hobby for him it was a joy, a way to bring people together, to offer comfort and to share a bit of love on a plate. It’s no surprise that he turned that passion into a business and became the proud owner of a food truck serving not just food, but warmth, laughter, and a taste of home.
