FryDay food truck team serving the Los Angeles community
Behind the Apron: Meet the FryDay Team Serving LA One Fry at a Time
Every plate of loaded fries we serve carries a story, and behind each one is the FryDay food truck team — the people who show up early, fire up the fryers, and pour real heart into every order. Since founder Theophilos "Theo" Okuribido launched FryDay on the Fourth of July in 2019, this has never just been about food. It's about community, about LA pride, and about the crew that makes it all happen. If you've ever wondered who's behind the apron at your favorite Van Nuys loaded fries truck, this one's for you.
The Heart of the FryDay Food Truck Team
FryDay started in Van Nuys with a simple idea: take the humble french fry and turn it into something bold, globally-inspired, and unmistakably Angeleno. But an idea is only as good as the people who bring it to life every day. The FryDay food truck team is a tight-knit crew that reflects the city we serve — culturally diverse, hardworking, and proud of where we come from. We're Valley kids, food lovers, and neighbors, and we treat every event like it's happening in our own backyard.
What makes this crew special isn't just skill at the fryer, though they've got plenty of that. It's the energy they bring. When the FryDay truck rolls up, the team brings the music, the smiles, and the kind of welcome that makes strangers feel like regulars. That spirit is the secret ingredient in every order, from a quiet weekday lunch to a packed festival rush.
From Van Nuys Streets to LA's Biggest Stages
The FryDay food truck team has earned its stripes in front of some of the biggest crowds in Southern California. We've served NBA All-Star Weekend, kept fans fed at LA Dodgers Divisional Playoff games, brought the heat to the BET Fan Experience, fueled LA Galaxy supporters, and showed up for UCLA and LAUSD communities across the city. Each of those moments tested our crew, and each one made us better at what we do.
Feeding a stadium crowd or a championship celebration teaches you things you can't learn anywhere else: how to move fast without cutting corners, how to keep quality high when the line is long, and how to make every single guest feel taken care of. That's the experience our team brings to your event, whether it's a backyard party in Sherman Oaks or a corporate gathering in Burbank.
Built on LA Pride and Bold Flavor
Ask anyone on the FryDay food truck team what they're proudest of, and the answer usually comes back to the food itself. We obsess over our signature flavors because we know they represent us. The Nashville Hot Chicken Loaded Fries carry serious heat. The Caribbean Jerk Loaded Fries take your taste buds on a trip without leaving LA. The Mango Habanero Loaded Fries balance sweet and fiery in a way that's become a fan favorite, and the BBQ Bacon Loaded Fries deliver the comfort-food magic that keeps people coming back.
Every one of those flavors is a reflection of Los Angeles — diverse, bold, and never boring. Our team builds each order fresh, because we believe the people of the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Glendale, Long Beach, and every neighborhood we serve deserve nothing less than the real thing, made with care.
More Than a Food Truck — A Part of the Community
What started as one truck in Van Nuys has grown into both a food truck and a ghost kitchen, but the mission hasn't changed. The FryDay food truck team still believes food is one of the best ways to bring people together. We show up for weddings, quinceañeras, corporate lunches, school fundraisers, sporting events, and block parties because we love being part of LA's celebrations. When you hire FryDay, you're not just getting catering — you're getting a crew that genuinely cares about making your event special.
That's the promise behind the apron. Bold flavor, warm service, and a team that treats your guests like family. From our Van Nuys home base to every corner of Los Angeles, the FryDay food truck team is proud to serve this city one fry at a time.
