Russell Wilson at 39,000 feet
I don’t think you can ever prep for the day you’re sitting beside a Superbowl champion at 39,000 feet altitude.

Interview with Vivica A. Fox: Winner of Luvo’s Celebrity Apprentice Challenge

Confessions of a Food Truck Driver
As you may know, Luvo joined the legion of New York City food trucks in August and we’ve been having a ball getting to know our customers in and around NYC. One of the most interesting aspects of running a food truck is the fascinating people you meet each day, so we thought it might be fun to interview two of our favorite local food trucks here in Vancouver, BC (Luvo Headquarters) to get the skinny right from the source.
