What would you do with the $25,000?I would start my own catering company and food truck. I would love to be able to cater to family gatherings, simple type foods that brings families together. If i had a food truck I would love to travel all around areas and feed people who have been affected by natural disasters. I would love to park my food truck around construction sites and be able to feed blue collar men and of course anyone else. I would love to have a small area where they can sit down, have a nice lunch, and enjoy
