Unprepared for What’s Grubbing w/ Orlando Osornio: Mayor of Taco Fest

From city council chambers to taco trucks to hospice care, this episode covers way more ground than we expected. We sit down with Orlando Osornio — former Salinas City Councilmember, community advocate, hospice liaison, and one of the founders of What’s Grubbing Salinas — to talk about his passion for serving the community in every part of his life.Orlando shares stories from his time on city council, the projects and causes he pushed for, and why giving back to Salinas has always been important to him. We also talk about his work as a hospice liaison and the emotional side of helping families during some of the hardest moments of their lives.Of course, we also dive into food trucks, the growth of What’s Grubbing Salinas, what goes into organizing massive local events like Taco Fest, and his torta business — including a very important debate about what makes the perfect torta.Politics, community, tacos, tortas, and real conversations about helping people… this episode somehow has all of it.
