EPISODE 0017 - Christine Sebastian of Treatbot Ice Cream

Christine Sebastian is the owner of Treatbot Karaoke Ice Cream Truck along with her husband Ryan. Also they are founders of a food truck gathering and consulting firm called Moveable Co.

Christine and I know each other from attending the City College of San Francisco’s Hotel & Restaurant Program together. Christine talks about her process of working at a traveling catering company, her Filipino upbringing and culture along with family dishes and the struggles to get where they are today.

We recorded the podcast on location in their new business "O’Briens Candy Shop and Ice Cream Parlor" which they are taking over; inside the old Pacific Hotel in History Park in San Jose, CA. We go over ice cream flavor creations and Christine gives us some of her South Bay favorite local eats. I get a little emotional on this one because at the end we discuss pursuing your dreams despite all odds and starting from scratch.
