She changed her menus numerous times and expanded with a commissary kitchen, and indoor dining room, and a second food truck. She earned the title “serial entrepreneur” as additional business ideas grew out of The Cheesecakery, including Hurry Curry Ryan Saadawi’s flavor-forward business that the bakery’s general manager started during the COVID-19 pandemic using one of its food trucks (He now rents a pop-up space from Field on Bramble.) But the thing about being part of a Next Big Thing neighborhood is that one has to go through the before to get to the after and Madisonville is still in its process of becoming buy-one-get-one houses in Madisonville,” Saadawi says Something of a serial entrepreneur himself from UC) got his start in self-employment with a snow cone truck he purchased from his sister The mobile food venture led him to a food truck event for animal welfare where he met Field who eventually invited him to be a part of The Cheesecakery and I was kind of happy it was a hidden gem.” Just a handful of years later, Madisonville is certainly shining brighter, with businesses like Mom ‘n ’em Coffee, Element Eatery, and Walls of Wellness joining Field and Saadawi in the revitalized business district the two plan to keep growing Madisonville one business at a time inviting friends to start businesses as well as plotting their own next ventures Maybe there’s Italian down the road or something else fun.”
