Duck N Roll Food Truck Chicago: http://www.ducknrolltruck.com
In conceiving DucknRoll, Chicago's newest addition to the food-truck revolution, Amy Le needed not look far for inspiration. She'd been preparing for it her whole life.
DucknRoll is a food truck inspired by traditional Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches and incorporates distinct flavors from China, Japan, Korea and Thailand. The truck is a moving tribute to Le's restaurateur mother who immigrated to the United States as a Vietnamese refugee. Le was raised in her mother's eateries, where she learned how to prepare traditional Vietnamese- and Chinese-influenced family recipes.
Amy Le gained an intimate familiarity with every facet of the restaurant business, starting out in her mother's kitchens as a dishwasher when she was scarcely tall enough to reach the sink. As she got older —and taller — she eventually helped manage both the front and back of the house at her mother's restaurants in St. Louis. The downside — or so it seemed — was that while her friends were shopping at the mall or going to parties, Le was busy at the restaurant. But what seemed like sacrifices at the time would create a theme that would continue throughout Le's career, which no matter where it took her, always seemed to lead back to her love of food and sharing that love with friends and strangers alike.
