Chef Breaks Barriers with Custom Wheelchair-Accessible Food Truck



Toronto - A new Toronto food truck is possibly the first of its kind in the world.

After years working as a line cook in top Toronto restaurants, an accident in 2008 left chef Aleem Syed paralyzed from the waist down. At first he thought his career was over.

“I didn’t understand how I could make it work,” Syed told Global News back in December.

A visit from acclaimed French chef Pascal Ribreau convinced him otherwise. Ribreau, who is also paraplegic, had Syed join him in the kitchen to show him it was possible.

Inspired, the halal chef first started a catering business, then a pop-up restaurant.

Now, it’s The Holy Grill food truck.

Syed is set to debut what might be the first wheelchair-accessible food truck in the world. The design took some time.
