Transcript

I quit my nine to five job to start a frozen bean and cheese burrito business. This is part two of how it's going so far. Batch four was our first drop since I left corporate, which means no more all nighters in the kitchen. But stirring beans for six hours straight, still a grind. Something tells me I shouldn't be cooking 400 pounds of beans in two giant pots. We had a few lucky breaks this time. Our new burrito wraps arrived just in time after a shipping delay. Our delivery driver nailed his first day on the job. And even in a 107 degree heat, our burritos stayed cool. Seriously, whose idea was it to start a frozen food business in the middle of a Phoenix summer? Sales are picking up steam. We made 30% more burritos in batch four and still sold out in half the time. But the best part, we're turning bean and cheese skeptics into full blown believers. And in new developments, Bad Hombre's hot sauce r and d is fully underway. Last week, we hosted a tasting dinner with a few trusted advisors to collect feedback on the prototypes. There's a lot more on the way. We're Hank and Sam, and this is Bad Hombres. Follow to see if our big bean dream becomes a reality.
