of revitalization. Just think – spring is around the corner and summer will be here soon after. Don’t let the time pass without your own personal revitalization. Sometimes, moments of unpredictability can catapult us to achieving things we might have assumed impossible.

When the back wheels of his food truck broke down, 2014 Culinary Apprenticeship graduate Edgard Sanchez got it towed to SkyView Atlanta. Little did he know, this would be the spot where he would truly kick off his business, C’est Bon Tout 2 Eat. Edgard has gained local and national attention with features on Fox 5 Atlanta, Yahoo! Finance, Clark Howard, the Marietta Daily Journal and Atlanta JournalConstitution.

Although Edgard didn’t plan to become an entrepreneur, the stars were aligned differently. And it all started with him taking a chance. Read more on Page 14 about his culinary journey.

ROLLING TO NEW HEIGHTS Culinary grad launches thriving food truck biz

Edgard’s Advice

1. T ake advantage of your apprenticeship experience.

2. L earn as much as you can from your mentorship from class and apprenticeship chefs.

3. Collect as much advice and tips as you can.

4. D o your own thing and have fun with it.

5. I f you’re interested in launching a food truck business: Try working on a food truck first to learn how it operates.

DID YOU KNOW?

Edgard’s food truck business is called “C’est Tout Bon 2 Eat,” which is French for “It’s All Good To Eat.” His Cajun menu is a tribute to New Orleans, where he spent most of his childhood.

W

What started as a random idea

to pass time has turned into an entrepreneurial success story and burgeoning career. After serving a 22-year military career with the Army and Marines, Edgard Sanchez retired to civilian life in 2011. Like many of our veterans returning home, Sanchez bounced around several jobs trying to find his passion. In 2014, working as a receiving assistant in an Atlanta warehouse, he encountered a piece of mail that would alter the path of his life. With curiosity, Sanchez read through one of our Course catalog magazines and came across a story highlighting Veterans in our Culinary Apprenticeship program.

“I was looking for a change, and I’ve always loved cooking,” Sanchez said. “I took this class because it sounded interesting. I wasn’t looking for a new career. I was just looking to fill some of my free time. Every time I came to class, it was awesome. I learned so much.”

Having two daughters preparing for college, Sanchez transferred his GI Bill benefits giving them an opportunity he never had. However, upon further discovery, he realized he qualified for additional VA funding through the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment services. This provided him with nine months of funding which aligned perfectly with our culinary program’s duration. “Without that program, I would not have been able to attend culinary school, and I never would’ve been able to launch my truck business,” he said.

Working during the day and attending class at night, Sanchez’s journey began to catch the watchful eye of his warehouse supervisor, Milton Mouzon. A

”

longtime entrepreneur himself, Mouzon once owned a hot dog cart while in college and has garnered PowerSeller status on eBay. “He always encouraged me to think bigger,” Sanchez said of Mouzon. “It was his idea for me to start a food truck business. I didn’t think he was serious at first but he kept pushing me.”

Mouzon was convinced of Sanchez’s talent and potential to succeed the second he bit into one of his signature Bayou Burgers at a family picnic. Mouzon’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked into high gear, and he

APRIL - JUNE 2016 // 470-578-6765 // ccpe.kennesaw.edu/online

began mentoring Sanchez as the two eventually became business partners. With Mouzon’s backing, Sanchez began bidding on a truck he found on eBay. After losing the online auction, it was back to square one – until the phone rang. “The man who was auctioning the truck called and said the top bidder had a change of heart and offered it to me,” Sanchez said. “I thought it was a joke and it was too good to be true.” It wasn’t and Sanchez was on his way to Virginia to pick up what was to become his new food truck.

After saying goodbye to his warehouse job and launching his food truck business in November 2014, it became an inauspicious start for Sanchez. While driving to downtown Atlanta for his first gig, the rear two tires become loose and detached from the truck.

It eventually had to be towed to SkyView Atlanta – where he was stationed from January to April 2015 as the Ferris wheel’s sole food truck vendor.

After a year of building awareness and being the new guy on the block, Sanchez is primed for a prosperous 2016. “We’re putting out quality food and are starting to get positive reviews and repeat customers,” he said.

“We’ve built a strong social media presence and food truck bookies are now pursuing us!”

Currently, there are about 120 food trucks rolling through Atlanta – which is much fewer than comparable cities. With Atlanta’s market relatively new compared to others of similar size, Sanchez is predicting a boom as it trends upward. “I didn’t realize there are foodies that follow trucks everywhere,” he said. “This gives people an added convenience that’s better than fast food.”

Sanchez’s vision for the coming year is to secure more catering events. His long-term plans are to build the business over the next three years and be in a position to sell it. His lifelong dream is to move to Costa Rica, and start a bed and breakfast business with his wife, Angel. For now, you can anticipate looking for the cartoon Edgard Sanchez with the big thumbs up to roll through a food truck park near you.

After completing a

professional certificate program with our College and starting successful careers, some of our graduates have returned to the classroom to teach the next crop of professionals. Jana Jenkins, Spencer Barnett and Alicia Morales share their experiences from students to teachers.

Jana Jenkins: Lean Six Sigma

A scholarship brought Jana Jenkins to our Project Management course. In 2014, Jana said, “I know getting this [PMP] certification will further my career, opening up opportunities for positions I may not have been qualified for.

Offering scholarships for these types of classes allows seasoned professionals to continue their education and be productive in the workforce.”

In addition to her position as a Lean Six Sigma leader with WellStar Health Systems, Jana now teaches Lean Six Sigma for our College. She said, “Anyone can take the classes, even if you have been exposed to very minimal math. Lean Six Sigma is great for college students starting out in the workplace, seasoned professionals who want to continue their education and business owners who need to become more competitive. If you’re currently between jobs, this can be a great addition to your résumé.”

Spencer Barnett: Culinary Apprenticeship

This 2012 Culinary Apprenticeship Certificate graduate has worked in restaurants such as Elevation Chophouse and Moore’s Gourmet Market. He recently joined the ranks as an assistant instructor in the Culinary program and teaches with his mentor, Chef Rich Bradshaw.

“Receiving my certificate from KSU’s Culinary Apprenticeship program has prepared me to work in the culinary field and inspired me to give back the knowledge and techniques I’ve learned,” Spencer said. “I feel grateful in how far I have come in my culinary career and for being able to prepare aspiring chefs for their future.”

Alicia Morales: Medical Interpreter

As a clinical psychologist, Alicia Morales was familiar with some of the terms in the Medical Interpreter certificate program she graduated from in 2013. She also said her instructor, Angela Kyriacou, was always well prepared for class and made it enjoyable. When Angela needed a substitute, Alicia stepped in and has since taught another section of the course.

Alicia said, “Teaching for me is a passion. I used to teach Spanish in my country for many, many years and that is my long-term plan. I am really, really grateful for the opportunity to teach at KSU. [It’s] a big [opportunity].”
