Meet the Astronauts

Two lifelong friends from Northeast Ohio. One classified journal. A promise that changed everything.

Anthony — The Builder, Founder & Commander

The Builder

Anthony grew up in Northeast Ohio believing the best conversations always happened around good food. Whether he was building homes, solving problems with his hands, or helping neighbors, he believed quality mattered because people deserved to know it was done right.

One autumn evening overlooking the Cleveland skyline, everything changed. A silent emerald light appeared over the lake. Out of it stepped a traveler unlike anything he'd ever seen—not a conqueror, but an explorer. The alien carried a weathered journal filled with recipes collected from civilizations across the galaxy. Every page told a story of cultures brought together through food.

"Great food creates peace faster than fear ever could. Promise you'll share these recipes, not hide them."

— The Traveler's final words

Anthony made that promise. Today, every meal served from OutPost 216 honors it.

Mike — The Explorer, Founder & Navigator

The Explorer

Mike and Anthony had been friends for as long as anyone could remember. They were always chasing the next adventure, the next road trip, the next great local restaurant, believing every meal had a story behind it.

When Anthony told him about the encounter, Mike didn't laugh. Instead, he drove straight to the overlook where the journal had been found. As the pages turned, strange symbols transformed into recipes unlike anything on Earth—bold smash burgers, cosmic tacos, loaded fries, sauces, and drinks inspired by worlds no one had ever seen.

"These aren't meant for a museum. They're meant to be shared."

— Mike, the moment he saw the journal

Together, the two lifelong friends built OutPost 216—not just as a food truck, but as Earth's first intergalactic outpost where strangers become friends over unforgettable food.

The Promise of OutPost 216

The Mission Continues

The alien never returned. But every once in a while, witnesses claim to see green lights above the truck after closing. Some say he's checking on the mission. Others believe he's still adding new recipes to the journal. Anthony and Mike don't argue. They simply smile, fire up the grill, and keep the promise they made years ago.

Share legendary food. Welcome everyone. Leave every person happier than when they arrived.
