Here’s Melvin, the owner and head chef of The Doughminican, a tiny food truck serving up insanely delicious empanadas over on East 11th and Waller. and I started working on spotlight for x back in January before we had any idea what the world would look like today. For The Doughminican, it looks more like takeout empanadas and platanos and less like patrons coming by for a leisurely visit to the food truck park where there is always a baseball & mitt to throw around while mangos and pineapples sit out on a music stand for practical decoration / storage. Melvin still takes breaks to play the trombone in between orders, now for many less onlookers. His mom Zoila is still keeping things running in the kitchen, both of them putting a little bit of their heart into everything they make. Link in my profile for more on The Doughminican.

A portrait of one of Austin’s finest empanadas, in the hands of my favorite hand model who also made her way into ’s tiny trailer kitchen back in January when she interviewed chef Melvin Mendez for & . Really excited to continue this series with as we start to figure out the new normal and what that looks like for small businesses serving up delicious pocket food. @ The Doughminican
