Meet Catriece Webster | Foodtruck

We had the good fortune of connecting with Catriece Webster and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Catriece, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My whole thought was to work for myself. It didnt matter what i did as long as I couldnt be fired or treated poorly because my race & sexuality. So I bought a step van that was used for construction purposes and sat it in my auntie’s yard for 4 yrs in Memphis Tennessee. During this time of saving I experienced so many obstacles(homelessness, ppl taking advantage of me, mother’s death, etc)til the point i thought about selling it & giving up. But, I didnt because i knew that was the only thing keeping me going was to “have my own”…… I also promised my mother I would finish it. So I worked corporate and picked up a few odd end jobs and started saving until I had enough money to finish building my truck. Once I had enough to fix it up I sent money home to get minor repairs done so I could be prepped for the road so it can make it to Dallas….. Then I went and bout all the parts piece by piece and started remodeling my foodtruck inside. I did everything I could do that was within my power to do….. the rest of the work I saved money and pd to fix like i wanted. I didnt quite know what kind of food I wanted to serve but i wanted it to be quick & easy…… Memphis is known for their wings and bbq so I decided to go with wings & fish

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I work full time for myself on my foodtruck. I played basketball at TCU & ASU……. Majored in BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. I was raised in poverty. Life isnt easy but I count my blessings and grateful for every single blessing I receive. The lesson I did learn was “its better to own than rent….. you never know what your situation would be tomorrow.” I have seen alot of restaurants & foodtrucks that had to close down due to finances & covid….. I own my truck and its pd off so I dont have rent or utilities…… I bought a foodtruck and a generator…….

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Top golf, going 4 wheeling or ATV, lake Lewisville riding on my boat, petting zoo, dallas aquarium, horseback riding, midevil times, grab a bit to eat at Savory Kitchen(little elm)

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Ariel Howell she has invested in me and has worked my truck many times without asking for a dime back. She said she just want to see me win….. & I genuinely believe it
