Today we’d like to introduce you to Jordan Williams.
Jordan, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Everything started out like normal, about three years ago, I like to eat so I would post pictures or videos of the food I ate. Eventually, I got tired of going to the same spots over and over, and one day, I had enough. After constantly seeing these crazy extravagant meals on the internet, I decided I would find these crazy meals and try em out. I never once thought about making a food page, but the more I posted these different meals, the more people began to message me. They would ask me what I had, where it was, typical stuff… but one thing that kept coming up was that I should make a page, so people can just reference that. Eventually, I finally decided to create the page, and people took to it like crazy! I think the main reason for that was because I had two years of food pictures and videos saved up so I was dropping new places daily! A few months later, I’ve spread out over to three social medias, have several events lined up, and most importantly, have created a brand!
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The hardest part was starting, I had a fear that people wouldn’t like the page idea so I put it off for months. I originally started planning in October of 2018, but it wasn’t until a close friend of mine Mike, called me out on procrastinating in March of 2019, that I actually created the page. Since people love food and love to eat, it makes sense, those people took to my page as quickly as they did. Another huge challenge I was faced with was balancing my diet, workouts, and money. I had started to gain a lot of weight and was spending a ton of money until I found a system that worked for me! Now, I’m faced with the challenges of YouTube, planning events, and expanding! As these things have been tough, I’ve spent a lot of time working on things which in the end, I feel will produce some amazing things for my following!
Please tell us about Dubb’s Grubs.
Dubb’s Grubs is a brand that can be found on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, that is a tool for those that live in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex! I basically go out and find different food spots throughout the metroplex, take detailed pictures, videos, interviews, and reviews! On top of that, I promote small (mainly black-owned) businesses helping them get exposure, host events where we go out as a group to try different foods and take suggestions in case you were wondering if a spot was worth trying! The difference between my page and google, yelp, or other Dallas food pages is that I find the most unique crazy types of food the metroplex has. Whether a restaurant, bar, hood spot, house kitchen, caterer, food truck, etc. I go any and everywhere to find the fire spots, even spots that aren’t on yelp or google! The crazy part is this is just the beginning, soon, my brand will become the platform to find fire food spots and I will spreading to different cities soon!
Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
My favorite childhood memory would be all of the family cookouts we had, we would always eat like kings and queens, which is probably the reason I love food so much now!
