[0:00] Hi, my name is Seth Wal [0:01] and I'm Moses Wol and we are Hotbox [0:03] Pies, a gluten-free pizza joint [0:05] specializing in gluten-free pizzas, [0:07] sandwiches, and other baked goods. [0:09] In 2017, I was diagnosed with celiac [0:12] disease, which is an allergy to gluten. [0:14] At the same time, I took a local job at [0:16] a pizzeria. Unfortunately, that meant no [0:19] pizza for me. It was painfully ironic. I [0:22] was surrounded by food I love, but I [0:24] couldn't enjoy, and I wanted to do [0:26] something about it. I didn't want to let [0:28] my celiac limitations set me back for me [0:31] or anyone else with gluten intolerance. [0:34] That's when I suggested that we make our [0:35] own gluten-free dough. So, for the past [0:37] 2 years, we spent our time perfecting a [0:39] recipe with the goal that our dough [0:42] tastes like the real deal. And now we're [0:44] ready to share hot box pies with the [0:45] masses. [0:46] This grant would allow us to secure a [0:49] retail location that would be certified [0:52] gluten-free. We would provide takeout [0:55] frozen doughs for retail outlets as well [0:58] as take and bake pizzas. [1:01] We off we know the reputation that [1:03] gluten-free food often gets and we want [1:04] to raise the standards of what [1:06] gluten-free can be. [1:08] We're passionate, hardworking, and ready [1:10] to bring this trustworthy, delicious [1:12] food to the visitors and residents of [1:14] Bloomington. [1:15] Well, once started off as friendly pizza [1:17] parties in the backyard can be something [1:18] so much more. We hope to get your vote [1:20] on the week of August 6th and a follow [1:22] on our Instagram at hotbox pies to help [1:25] this vision come to life. Thank you.
