Today we’d like to introduce you to Saleha Patel
Saleha, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Back in 2015, our family and I visited a fine-dining halal burger place. We spent $15-$18 per burger, and it was mediocre at best. We were convinced that we could make a better burger. That experience sparked an interest in us, and the initial idea was born. We bought a $20 electric griddle and started experimenting in our apartment. Almost 10 years and hundreds of burgers later, we’ve taken our first step towards fulfilling our dreams and giving our customers the freshest, most delicious burgers and cheesesteaks ever.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Opening Buns on the Run was a huge leap of faith. Honestly, the biggest hurdle was overcoming the initial fear of failure and actually taking that first step. We spent countless hours planning and strategizing, but it felt like we were frozen, unable to translate our ideas into action. But we finally pushed past that fear. We took the plunge and invested in having our food truck custom-built. That initial commitment seemed to unlock everything else. Of course, there were still challenges – permit delays, scheduling inspections – but once we’d gotten the ball rolling, we were much better equipped to handle them. And now, a little over a year later, we’re still going strong and excited for what the future holds.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Buns on the Run ATX in Manor, Texas, serves up the best burgers and cheesesteaks you’ve ever tasted! Our star players? The BotR Smashed burger and the Spicy Cheesesteak – they’re guaranteed to wow you. We’re obsessed with freshness: pasture-raised, humanely cut beef (never frozen!) and small-batch ingredients are the secret to our mouthwatering creations. We pour our hearts into every order because, for us, it’s personal.
How do you think about luck?
We don’t necessarily believe in luck. We believe in prayers, a good attitude, and a whole lot of hard work.
