Our Story
In 2020 husband and wife, Gregory and Sierra Austin, were hit by hard times and lost their jobs due to the COVID pandemic. Not knowing when or if they would ever get called back they decided to take matters into their own hands. They found an old charter bus in Texas, brought it all the way up to Minnesota, and with the help of some local food truck builders converted it into a state of the art food truck. The Rustic Chef opened it's doors in June 2021 and has been proudly serving the community ever since.
