get in touch
Drew Cole is the founder and owner of Street Meats, a mobile food business based in southwest Wyoming. After overcoming IV meth addiction and entering recovery, Drew rebuilt his life around purpose, entrepreneurship, and community. In 2023, he took a leap of faith and launched Street Meats, transforming a single food trailer and an idea into a growing brand known for bold food, allergy-conscious options, big portions, creativity, and genuine connection with the communities it serves.
Today, Drew continues to expand Street Meats while using his story to show what is possible after addiction. He is passionate about recovery, entrepreneurship, supporting other small-business owners, and proving that success doesn’t require hiding the difficult chapters of your past. His philosophy is simple: your worst chapter doesn’t have to become the title of your life—and sometimes rebuilding yourself becomes the foundation for building something bigger than you ever imagined.
