Fort Worth Native, Sarah Castillo, is a serial entrepreneur who has built an empire across North Texas. It all started with making breakfast tacos for golfers at Marine Creek Golf Course, which led into literally having a dream that she owned a food truck. How wild is that!?! After gaining restaurant experience working at Eddie V?s(shout out) - she ventured out (with her mama) selling delicious tacos out of a trailer in the West 7th area of Fort Worth. Over the last decade, her trailer evolved into a food truck 'Taco Heads', and she gained enough notoriety to expand the brand through brick and mortar locations in both Fort Worth and in Dallas.
There?s nothing Sarah can?t do - in fact, back in 2018, she underwent major renovations of a historical building in the Near Southside and opened an upscale Mexican restaurant and bar called Tinie?s Mexican Cuisine, named after her mother, Christina. As if she didn?t have enough on her plate, Sarah contracted with 87W to open Sidesaddle Saloon in 2021 - a renovated 108-year-old complex of course and mule stables in the Stockyards National Historic District.
Tune in to hear how travel has inspired her menu, building relationships golfing gave her an advantage, and owning who she is.

In the pursuit to find a healthier, but still tasty snack, Quentin Crawford is making jerky out of fish. The Good Jerky is providing meat lovers a chewy, smoky fish-based jerky that tastes like more traditional beef jerky. Stemming from Quentin's interest of eating more health-conscious snacks, The Good Jerky has now opened new doors for Quentin in the startup space. Recently, The Good Jerky was accepted into MassChallenge, a global, zero-equity startup accelerator. Before that, The Good Jerky participated in Impact Ventures' Local Entrepreneur Accelerator Program in April 2022.
