From Coding To Cooking: How My Dream Became Rap & Roll
If you told me a few years ago that I’d trade my keyboard for a fryer and turn lines of code into lines of hungry customers, I might’ve laughed. But here I am—no longer debugging scripts, but perfecting spice blends. This is the story of how my passion for crispy chicken tenders turned into Rap & Roll.
💻 The Tech Life
I spent years deep in the world of software development—late nights, endless logic puzzles, and the satisfying thrill of getting a function to finally run without errors. I loved building things, solving problems, and crafting elegant code. But while my hands were busy typing, my mind was often elsewhere—thinking about food.
More specifically: crispy, golden, juicy chicken tenders.
🔥 A Spark in the Kitchen
Cooking was always my escape. I’d code all day and cook all night. Family and friends became my unofficial taste testers, and the response was always the same: “You need to sell this.”
The idea lingered. Could I really swap frameworks for fryers? Was there a place in the food world for someone like me?
🍗 Enter Rap & Roll
The name came first. Rap & Roll. A nod to rhythm, street culture, and the fast-paced flavor of crispy chicken wrapped or rolled however you want it. It wasn’t just about food—it was about energy, personality, and doing things your own way.
From food truck ideas scribbled on notepads to endless trial-and-error in the kitchen, I poured the same obsession for detail I had in coding into every recipe. Seasonings had to be just right. The crunch had to slap. Every bite had to feel like a beat drop.
🤖 What I Took From Tech
Running a food business isn’t so different from building an app:
Test, test, and test again.
User feedback is everything.
If it breaks, fix it fast.
Always be optimizing.
Thanks to my coding background, I brought a techy edge to Rap & Roll—digital ordering, QR menus, smart inventory, and tight data on what sells best. I didn’t leave tech behind. I just used it to fuel a new kind of hustle.
🚀 The Dream Today
Rap & Roll is more than a food brand. It’s a dream served hot, wrapped in flavor, and delivered with heart. It’s proof that you don’t have to stay in one lane. You can switch tracks, remix your career, and build something that feels fully you.
To anyone sitting behind a screen, wondering “What if?” — this is your sign. Code your dream. Then cook it up.
