With no money to start restaurant, chef sells dream out of back of car on streets of NYC

They crowd around as if someone is giving away free money. But these eager customers brought the money. They want the container of rice.

You gotta try it. I cannot, I cannot explain it.

We'd love to, but Johnny Hume sold out before we could. Those who couldn't get rice in time got a picture, right in front of Johnny's car trunk, where the 22-year-old started his business just a few months ago. Why do you sell it out of the trunk like this?

Because I don't have money to get a restaurant.

That's changing fast with the help of social media. Johnny's Venezuelan Chinese fried rice recipe has gone viral, attracting stars like Latin singer J Balvin and people who live in the city and who are missing home.

It's very nice and very good rice,, the flavor from our country, from Venezuela.

Johnny was born in Venezuela to Chinese parents, but it was here that he perfected the fusion dish. Things are going to look a little different for the man with the famous rice in just a couple of weeks. He's set to open a restaurant in Madrid. He tells me he hopes to open another couple of weeks. He's set to open a restaurant in Madrid. He tells me he hopes to open another restaurant here in New York City in the new year.
