For this blog, I'm going to veer off the musical topics, & tell you about another major passion of mine=FOOD & about the new business I started in Nashville with my dad!! That's right, I'm a self proclaimed foodie, love to try out all kinds of different cuisines and dishes, baking is an experience that gives me great joy =)!! But anyway- this passion for food is one of the many things I inherited from my dad-other than fanaticism for soccer, reading, & writing-but yes, my daddy-Chef Yayo is a culinary artist & lover of food (especially the food from his native Mexico) who can whip up just about anything in a matter of minutes and make an amazing dish!

So, when I moved out here to Nashville with my mom & sis to continue to work on my music career-my dad had to stay back in Florida because he and my uncle- Celebrity Chef ZeCarlos Jimenez were embarking on a new venture by opening up the Gourmet Mexican Mobile Food Truck- The Mexzican Gourmet

We have always been an extremely close family and the separation was really hard for us, so we tried to think of ways for my dad to be able to relocate to Nashville, and seeing that Nashville was beginning to open up to the Food Truck experience- I suggested to my dad that we should expand the food truck/catering biz by opening our own truck here in Music City!!

After a few months of planning, my dad and I became partners in this venture, he's the Chef & creative culinary boss & in my free time not doing music, I'm involved in the design, social media, branding aspect of the business :) We opened up in late June- Yayo's OMG! (my dad is Yayo & OMG stands for Original Mexican Gourmet) Mobile Food Truck & Catering Services- is a state of the art kitchen on wheels serving up "Vintage Mexican Cuisine w/ a modern twist to the beautiful people of Music City!


The locations of where the truck serves changes daily for lunch & dinner, and followers keep updated by the daily posts on Facebook & Twitter (would love it if you could click on the previous FB & Twitter links to follow & support Yayo's)
Having only been 5 months in operation, Yayo's already has a growing base of fabulous customers, Our "Legend Taco" was chosen as one of the Top 12 dishes of Nash Food Trucks in the Nashville Business Journal, & on Friday November 11th- Yayo's will be filming it's tv debut for Cooking Channel/Food Network's popular show Eat St!!


So whenever you're in the Nashville area, please be sure to look up & try out Yayo's OMG!- I might be bias when I say I believe it has the BEST Mexican food in town- but you will have to try it for yourself and see :)
