Almost 12 years later, Sub, 27, made his dream a reality, opening Trinity Street Food at 135 S. Ector Drive in his adopted hometown of Euless. “It’s like home cooking to me,” he said. “I cook for my mom and for my family and they love it.” Sub and his family are from Thailand and he graduated in 2009 from Trinity High School in Euless. The menu at Trinity Street Food features curries, fried rice dishes and desserts like fried banana with ice cream and sticky rice with mango. Sub wants to experiment with fusion, adding Thai, Korean and Japanese dishes. Nam Tok Mue (salad), a grilled pork belly with onions, cilantro and lettuce in lime dressing and roasted rice is one the menu at Trinity Street Food in Euless.

I didn’t speak English at all. My teachers were very patient with me,” Sub said. “ Now, I can speak English and go to work.” After high school graduation he moved to Houston, where he worked at a Whole Foods store and a Japanese restaurant. “I wanted to see how they prepared their food, I wanted to see how they presented it,” he said. At Trinity Street Food, it’s a family affair. Sub does the cooking, his mother works at the restaurant, and his wife maintains Trinity Street Food’s website and Facebook pages. He aims to have a friendly atmosphere at the restaurant, and since it opened in November he has seen a steady stream of customers from not only Euless and Bedford, but beyond. One menu item at Euless’ Trinity Street Food is Tiger Cry. This is a grilled ribeye topped with wok- fired onions, cabbage, served in hot iron pan with Thai lime sauce.
