NYC's Empanada Expert

When Carlos of NADAS Empanadas started selling his colorful, Colombian-style empanadas around the Tri-State area, he had no idea COVID-19 was about to change everything. Now, he’s using the popularity of his empanadas to help those in need, like teaming up with his church to feed the food insecure and bringing meals to essential workers on the front lines.

Munchies had done great during the pandemic, shining a light on the pillars of communities around the globe!

I always thought food is what bring people and communities together 🙏

He said something so important,he is giving back to those who didn't even get that stimulus money,he is looking out for them,major respect to him.

[@tigerlb28]

We've got to love on those that aren't getting any

[@joebenson528]

@@tigerlb28 I love when people do not become economic slaves to government welfare. It helps prevent the hyperinflation and economic collapse that we are currently going through as I type this. I didn't receive the printed dollars in 2020-21 and I'll never need them. Self employed Owner operator OTR driver, and own a self sufficient farm in Texas. City dwellers need to realize their unnatural environment is not sustainable. All empires fall because of the net drain that their urbanized populations inflict on the natural resources and economy.

[@tigerlb28]

Got it. Good luck with everything - hope you have space and resources to give back!

[@luluramos2981]

I just showed this to my mom and she almost cried. Such great work they are doing for their community and inspiration for all. 💜

Damn your mom seems emotionally unstable

[@nganstoppable]

This is so inspiring, I own a food business too and had to shut down for Covid. But Carlos and his mom helping so many people is hella inspiring!

[@tigerlb28]

Wishing you the greatest.

[@tigerlb28]

@Dan Hey first, how bout you put a picture on your thumbline before you start talking about satanic anything. Second this isn't HBO chief, its Vice. So how bout we get the basic facts right before you come at our neck.

[@tigerlb28]

Who are Masons? Cause I know AT&T owns HBO. HBO doesn’t own VICE. I’m not sure where and what you’re talking about. BUT we’re just out here trying to help people we don’t need your odd theories out here lol and chief is just a word.

[@jimmyoats12]

Carlos Santos Dan’s trolling the video with conspiracy theory nonsense - don’t mind him. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@jimmyoats12]

@Dan Oh, I will. Keep trolling KZbin bud! Really doing the "lord's work" hahaha

Y'all are my favorite yr channel. I get to see the world of small business n amazing food and fantastic people behind them. Good people still exist. But I love how this son has helped his mother to one of the toughest times in their business and has stretched it so far to bless others that's amazing we need more people like him and his family.

Chevy named a car the Nova, a historic example of misunderstanding as it means “does not go” in Spanish. Nadas was not the best name choice IMO, even if it’s a contracture of “to be breaded,” “nada” is one word Americans know. That said, they look far from “nothing,” they look great, it’s nice to see them making their own dough instead of using bought skins, & wish them luck, they sure are working hard!
