We had the good fortune of connecting with Samantha Rice and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Samantha, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Having strong support from my husband, family and friends has kept me level headed when times were tough, and kept me motivated to keep growing.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I opened the franchise food truck Baby’s Burgers in San Diego when I was 24 and frankly had no idea what I was doing. After 6 successful years with the Food Truck, we now have a restaurant in Vista as well! Everyone Im sure had many challenges with their businesses the past couple of years but with the support of family and friends I was able to overcome those challenges.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Going to the beach for a fun relaxing day is always nice when friends come to visit San Diego, followed by dinner at my favorite restaurant Din Tai Fung, then to end the night drinks downtown at some of the bars.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband, family and friends have always been my biggest supporters, keeping me going through the good and bad. They always love to see me succeed and grow.
