Meet the FryDay Food Truck Team Serving Los Angeles
Behind the Apron: Meet the FryDay Team Serving LA One Fry at a Time
Every loaded fry that leaves our window carries a little piece of the people who make it. Behind the bold flavors and the bustling service line is the FryDay food truck team, a crew of Angelenos who show up early, work hard, and genuinely love what they do. We talk a lot about our menu, but today we want to pull back the curtain and introduce you to the heart of this whole operation, because the food is only as good as the people behind the apron.
FryDay started in Van Nuys on July 4, 2019, founded by Theophilos "Theo" Okuribido with a simple idea: take the humble french fry and turn it into something bold, global, and unforgettable. What began as one truck has grown into a beloved part of the LA food scene, but the spirit hasn't changed. The FryDay food truck team still treats every event like it matters, because to us, it does.
Built in the San Fernando Valley, Proud of It
You can't understand FryDay without understanding where we come from. The San Fernando Valley raised us, and that LA pride runs through everything we do. Our team is as diverse as the city we serve, and that's not an accident. The flavors on our menu, from Caribbean Jerk to Nashville Hot Chicken to Mango Habanero, reflect the cultures, neighborhoods, and stories that make Los Angeles the greatest food city in the world.
When you book FryDay for an event in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Santa Monica, or anywhere across the region, you're getting a crew that knows this city in its bones. We've served fries from the Valley to the Westside, and every neighborhood we roll into feels a little like home.
The People Who Make the Magic Happen
A food truck is a small space with a big job. On any given event day, the FryDay food truck team is prepping ingredients before sunrise, dialing in each signature flavor, and getting the truck spotless and stocked. During service, it's a fast-moving dance: someone's working the fryer, someone's building orders, someone's chatting with the crowd and keeping the energy up. It takes coordination, hustle, and a real love for the work.
What sets our team apart is the care. We're not just slinging food. We taste-test every batch, we sweat the details on every loaded fry, and we treat every guest like a neighbor. When you see the smile behind the window, it's real. We genuinely love feeding people and being part of their celebrations, whether it's a quinceañera, a corporate lunch, a wedding, or a backyard birthday.
From Big Stages to Backyard Parties
The FryDay food truck team has fed some incredible crowds. We've served at NBA All-Star Weekend, the LA Dodgers Divisional Playoffs, the BET Fan Experience, LA Galaxy events, and UCLA gatherings. We've fueled LAUSD school events and Rose Bowl crowds in Pasadena. Those big moments are a thrill, and we're proud of every one of them.
But ask anyone on the crew and they'll tell you: the backyard parties matter just as much. Watching a family celebrate a milestone, seeing kids light up when the truck rolls in, hearing someone say a FryDay loaded fry was the best part of their event, that's the stuff that keeps us going. Big stage or small driveway, we bring the same energy and the same love every time.
Come Meet Us at Your Next Event
The best way to get to know the FryDay food truck team is to invite us to your celebration. When we pull up, we're not just bringing gourmet loaded fries, we're bringing the warmth, pride, and community spirit that built this truck from day one. We'd love to be part of your next event, swap a few stories, and serve you something you'll remember. From all of us behind the apron, thank you for letting us feed LA one fry at a time.
