Mr. Sam

During an active crime scene, Mr. Sam BBQ's

Moments after a deadly shooting, Mr. Sam gathers his materials for a late night of selling BBQ. Just a few steps away police officers and helicopters surveil the scene. 

While speaking with Mr. Sam I was not sure if the shooting was still active, but we continued. As we continued he began to recall his first BBQ experience and his motivation to begin his entrepreneurial journey.
