I liked cooking before cooking was cool,” states Ralph Gilmore of Turf n Surf Poboys. Ralph brings his background not only in the restaurant industry but also his experience in designing and building custom homes and choppers to the table as the designer and chef of his trailer that is currently located downtown. After buying the most raw and rustic unit he could find, he began molding the cart with a turf and surf feel. The majority of the items on his décor are recycled and he used less than 5% of wood in his build-out. Continuing with the overall green feel of his food trailer, Ralph buys his produce locally. “I just wanted to do something that gives back to the people,” he explains about his choice to buy from Austin-area farmers.
Most proud of his fried shrimp, it is also his best-seller. Having opened in April of 2010, he has some advice for new vendors: “Watch out for August. The heat factor, getting back to school, and last minute vacations puts you in the hole if you don’t have the capitol to get through it. But if it’s your dream, stay with it.”
I don't think Ralph is hiring, but as the sign states - I will work for poboys!
