Hello
My name is Chef Heather Lambert and I am the proud owner of B'Wiched Gourmet Sandwiches! I was born and raised here in Harnett County, but have lived in many different states. I always knew I would find my way back home.
My Story
I have been fascinated with cooking since I was little, helping my family in the kitchen. I consider myself to be a creative person, so having the ability to show that within my food is something I strive for.
I graduated from Walters State College in Sevierville, TN in 2010 where I obtained my Associates in Culinary Arts and Hotel/Restaurant Management. Throughout school and after, I worked in the food service industry, starting as a hostess and moving through all positions from server, kitchen prep, line cook, even dishwasher, until finally I became a hourly manager. It was here where I gained most of my knowledge and knew that this was something that I wanted to do for the long haul.
When you think you have it all figured out, you don't! From 2010 until 2024, life was a rollercoaster for me! Family, children, life experiences, unexpected circumstances, and all the in-between came and went. At the end of the day though, I still felt that I wanted to pursue my dream. Since I had graduated college, it was to own my own restaurant- a warm place where all were welcome and wanted to be! So I began the search. As I started, you realize just how difficult some dreams can be to achieve. A building was almost impossible to find, and if there was one that could work, money didn't grow on any trees that I owned! PIVOTAL MOMENT: If not a stationary building, let's make it move! I shifted and researched everything I needed to know about food trucks and FELL IN LOVE with this! What better way to reach everyone than for me to go to them.
I came up with a concept that I believed would stand out and be different than anyone else! Who doesn't love a great sandwich. My menu is constantly changing with every season so this allows me to continually use my creativity and bring new items all the time!
It has been a long journey to say the least, but BOY was it worth it all in the end! I officially opened B'Wiched Gourmet Sandwiches food truck October 2024 and it truly was the best decision I could have made! We are a Woman-owned and operated truck that serves Harnett and surrounding counties. I work with two of the sweetest and most hardworking girls that I could ever ask for and we have the best time! I never thought that I would have been able to do this, but I did! So to everyone out there who thinks you can't or something is 'standing in your way'..... push through! YOU CAN DO IT!
If you do what you love and love what you do, is it really work?!
