Two former rival gang members have joined forces, combining their passions for food and serving their community.
Malachi Jenkins, a Crip, and Roberto Smith, a Blood, are the masterminds behind Trap Kitchen, Compton, California’s underground restaurant that has become extremely popular.
Jenkins and Smith met through a mutual friend and decided that making a quick dollar from selling drugs wasn’t the best route to take.
“All money ain’t good money,” Jenkins told Fox LA. “It was working for me until I started getting in trouble, so I had to find something legit to do.”
