![]() ![]() ![]() I couldn't have been more wrong, her food got devoured, everyone loved it and was begging for more. ![]() I personally thought that nobody would eat any of it, we eat soul food, hot dogs, burgers, and Mac and cheese with sugar. Natalie then made what she's superb at, Jamaican food. The aunts and uncles brought food to eat and we wanted to contribute too. The idea of selling Jamaican dishes came from one day when my family had a big get together at my uncle's house. In the summer of 2013, we flew to Miami and had Grubaholics built from scratch to our exact liking. With no more post office soaking up all of our time, we had plenty of it to invest into our business aspirations. We had until April 2013 to decide if we wanted to stay or go, to me, it was clear. I at the time already felt underpaid and overworked, making $6 per hour less was the icing on the cake for us. One day in 2013, the post office released a new memorandum, and it said that all of the non career mail carriers was going to have to accept a pay cut, a 30% pay cut. The extra hours and the labor was too much to handle sometimes as we worked over 40 hours a week each. We made a pretty good living for ourselves but I often thought to myself, 'If I work this hard for myself rather than for someone else, I might become something great'. Natalie and I were just a regular working class couple, working as mail carriers for the post office. Hello, we are Thomas and Natalie Smith, the owners and operators of Grubaholics! Grubaholics was established in 2014 but the dream of owning our own food truck has been alive since 2008. ![]()
