For Chef Chuck Thomas, food is a labor of love. Despite getting a degree in multimedia production and art, then spending a few years as a mason, food was an industry in which he could focus on making people smile. He started at Taco Bell, then worked at the Compass Group and Blue Star Group before breaking off on his own. Chuck and his wife, Mary Ann, started Munchies719 (elevated comfort food) as a food truck and expanded to a storefront partnership in February.
