Part 3: Interview with Chef/Owner/Operator (2 paragraphs minimum)
Potential Questions to ask
The questions can be for the owner, chef/cook, or the street food operation operator. Ideally, you would want to speak to the creator of the street food concept.

“How are your recipes connected to authentic Portuguese cuisine or any other cuisine”?
What inspired you to create and serve this ethnic menu in the United States”?
Do you have any prior experience in food service or cooking? If you do, how does it help you succeed in street food business?
