UT Football Player Deandre Moore Opens Austin Food Truck | Eater Austin
"On 1637 East Riverside Drive in the Riverside neighborhood, I visited Jive Turkey, a food truck opened by freshman Longhorn football player Deandre Moore (listed there as of August 27). The small menu focuses on comfort food made with turkey and includes three dishes: the Jive Burger; the Jive Turkey, a Thanksgiving-inspired cornbread bowl with turkey, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, gravy, and cranberry sauce; and the OJ Jive, a deep-fried turkey taco that inspired the truck. There are also Kool-Aid and Jell-O, with plans to add seasonal items. Moore’s mother, Taleea Moore, is the chef and the inspiration—she used to swap beef for leaner turkey at home—and Deandre plans a philanthropic component, starting with donating food to unhoused individuals during Thanksgiving. He opened the truck using his name, image, and likeness under the 2021 NCAA rule, and current hours are 5 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Friday, with Saturdays off during football season." - Erin Russell
