What a special experience documenting the heart and soul behind Jumbo Burger at the Collective Oregon Eateries food cart pod! Spending time with Humberto and his family brought so much more than just delicious food into my life – it showed me how a family business truly operates.
Humberto's dream of creating authentic, flavorful burgers has become a reality, but not through solo effort. Behind every perfectly grilled patty and carefully assembled burger stands a network of family support that makes Jumbo Burger possible.
I watched as family members moved seamlessly around the food cart kitchen, each person playing their role with practiced precision. Humberto's confident cooking reflects years of family recipes and encouragement from relatives who believed in his culinary vision long before the cart existed.
What struck me most was the genuine joy and laughter shared between Humberto, his family, and customers. The warmth extends beyond blood relatives to the community they've built – regular customers who've become part of the extended Jumbo Burger family.
Human-centric visual storytelling isn't just about capturing beautiful food (though these burgers are genuinely photogenic!). It's about revealing the connections that transform a simple business transaction into something meaningful – the family bonds that season every meal with love and history.
