#9 Beyond Chicken 'n Waffles - William "Dub" Travis III, Dub's St. Johns

An arson fire wiped out Dub and his partner's combination chicken 'n waffles and recording studio in 2012. So he reopened in 2018 to 5-star reviews and they restarted their hip-hop group proving life couldn't keep him down. But as a youth, he made mistakes and ended up in the Oregon corrections system. Because of his grandmother's knack for cooking and Dub's interest in helping, he began cooking for the prison where he was located. That eventually turned into a catering gig that was incredibly popular. He got permission to expand and was soon catering to frequent events. After being released, he just kept on moving up and hasn't stopped since.
