WILMINGTON—Bold blues, bright pinks, electric oranges and purples stand out on Austin Belt’s Tokyo lights-inspired design of Banh Sai Asian Fusion food truck. The vision and play on words signify his most beloved areas of interest: Asian cuisine and ‘80s nostalgia. 
“‘Karate Kid’ is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time,” Belt said.
A culinary graduate from Central Piedmont Community College, the 31-year-old and his wife, Lucy, have moved around over the last seven years, as Belt followed his passion for cooking. He worked as a sous chef in quite a few kitchens, including Bradshaw Social House in Charlotte, Grill 401 in Fort Lauderdale and The Watch in Charleston.
