The word “Sabora” can translate as “flavor” in Spanish. The flavor is something you can definitely hear, smell and taste at the Sabora food truck.

They met while working in the downtown Asheville food scene—planning for their future partnership.

“Maybe one day we can have our own thing,” Burchfield said.
And that one day turned out to be right now.
“COVID was really the shotgun trigger that boosted it off for us,” Burchfield said.
“It kind of made us realize we had a short breath to think about our future,” Burchfield said. “And when they called everyone back that’s when we said, ’let’s do this.’”
Jimenez, a chef for nearly two decades. created the menu.

“We come together like an old married couple,” Burchfield joked.

“He’s my best friend,” Burchfield said.
They’re serving up good food and good laughs.
“He knows everything,” Jimenez joked.
