Brunner and Augusma proudly show off the truck's interior. Packed with cooking equipment, storage and several sinks, soon it will get an iPad for touchscreen orders at the window.
Ryan Brunner and Imani Augusma, fianc and fiance, on Monday opened the first self-propelled food truck currently based in Statesboro, Brunner Burritos & Bowls. It is based at Stadium Walk Plaza, 200 Lanier Drive, across from Paulson Stadium. Brunner and Augusma, who with some justification call themselves the dynamic duo, have leased a portion of the plaza building as their commissary and furnished it with freezers, refrigerators and shelving for food storage. They also purchased a 2018 Ford step van that was transported from Battlefield Ford in Virginia to Food Truck South in Marietta, where it was equipped to their specifications. The cooking is all done on the truck. "We quit our jobs to start our own thing," Brunner confirmed as the young couple she's 25 and he's 27 showed the reporter the truck's interior on Friday. "To accomplish a dream," Augusma said. "We quit our jobs to do this, and we did it, and we said that we were going to do it."
