Rene Valenzuela is best known as the founder and former owner of Taco Bus. Rene’s life and career came to a standstill two years ago, when he was burned in a horrific kitchen fire. He says he learned a lot about himself during his recovery, and now he's ready for his next venture. This time he's teaming up with Jamal Wilson, owner of Hall on Franklin in Tampa, and expanding to Orlando. I talked to Rene about a lot of things – including his accident; the food from his home region of Mexico; and what to make for Cinco de Mayo!
