“We’re definitely scared doing it, but we’re not scared to do it."
Karin Araya, 34, spent 20 years of his life on Long Island eating bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on a hard roll nearly every day — always ordering a BECSPK from his local delis.
Then, he and his family moved to Florida three years ago.
He was in for a culinary culture shock, especially when it came to breakfast. Between jobs, he’d search the entire Greater Tampa area for a BEC that tasted just like at home, yet to no avail.
“There’s even a few delis here that are New York delis, but for some reason it’s just not the authentic sandwich,” he said. “I didn’t think it was so hard to do what we do in New York.”
So he took matters into his own hands. On Jan. 20, Araya’s first Bacon Egg’N Cheese food truck set up shop in Brandon, Fla., 15 to 20 minutes from Tampa.
