What do you get when you combine former gang members, professional culinary training, fresh ingredients and dedication to their neighborhood? A very good catering business in Compton. Come to Trap Kitchen. You won't want to watch this movie on an empty stomach.

Great big story, we in here. Mama, we made it. Everybody always say that. I think this is better than my mom's. I think my grandma couldn't even do this. They think we got our grandmas cooking for us. No, this is us. We did that. Like, yeah, us young men. Trap is take risks and prosper. And that's what we doing in here. So that's what we eat is Trap Kitchen. Fifteen strips in the bag, man. Trap Kitchen is a spot where you prepare products to be distributed underground. We just use that mentality with food. We're a full-blown catering service. And you also can order for delivery during the week. My team consists of myself and three other guys. I call them my brothers. My boy AWOL, DJ Kev, and Bad News. We're a small team, but we get the job done all the time. I mean, we always cribs and bloods. You know what I mean? Doing that kind of stuff. Of course, I'm getting arrested every other day for nothing. They shooting at us. So now the only thing we worried about is some food burning up or running out. That's it. I was talking to my mom. She's like, you got to do something, son. I'm like, okay, well, what can I do? I seen the Cordon Bleu commercial on TV. I'm like, damn, that look kind of cool. I could probably do something with that. I know you can make good money cooking. I moved to Vegas, started culinary school, and that's where I began to practice my craft, you know? He really came in here from Vegas. He like, bro, what we going to do? Like, we need some money. I said, wait, we can sell some food. Through Instagram, I was, like, posting my food, and people was like, oh, that looks so good. That looks great. And I was like, okay, now it's time for me to offer this food to the streets. Like how a D-boy pushes dope, you know what I'm saying? And it worked. The key to our success, we never gave up, man. Every day, that's all I think about is how can we improve our company? How can we improve our food? How can we improve the taste? Even though we in the house trapping, I feel like it's a real restaurant.
