Eric is the founder of the peached tortilla, Eater Austin's 2011 Food Truck of the Year and winner of Austin Food Blogger Alliance's 2012 Best Downtown Food Trailer. He is a former litigator who decided to pursue a different career path and marry his passions of food and business. Eric was born in Tokyo, Japan, where during the early part of his life he was heavily influenced by Japanese and Chinese cuisine. At the age of ten, Eric moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he was introduced to traditional Southern cuisine, or better yet, “soul food.” It is his exposure to such divergent flavors and cuisines at an early age which serves as the backdrop for the peached tortilla. Eric is also a self professed “mobile food junkie” and has an insatiable love for street food.
