TABLE FOR TWO: Episode 20: Meet Gee Ozgen
from Table for Two Hosted by Phillip Hallani
Episode #20 Is now live! . Meet Gee Ozgen. Owner of Mister Gee’s burger truck. After finishing school and working in a few different industries, Gee knew he wanted to stay in hospitality and own his own business. After a trip to The States, he was inspired by the amazing burger scene that was happening at the time and knew he could deliver a similar product back home. With a limited budget he knew building a food truck was his best option. In 2014 Mister Gee’s food truck was born! It didn’t take long for his reputation to grow as the king of burgers. Within a few months he had lines 100m down the road. A few years later he opened his first brick and mortar store called Happy Ending, a fried chicken and burger shop. Gee was ready to grow his burger empire, but in 2018 everything changed. He recieved a phone call saying his food truck was on fire. Everything he had worked so hard to build was gone. Gee describes it as the worst period of his life. It didn’t take long for Gee to think outside the box or the truck for that matter. He started collaborating with cafes around Sydney which was a massive success! It showed him even though the food truck was destroyed the brand was as strong as ever! The future of Mister Gee’s is very exciting and I’m grateful Gee took the time to tell us about his journey and his future plans.
