Following the the success of YoLo, Taylor founded Chiwawa, a restaurant serving Mexican and American street food, and Tamp & Tap, a premium coffee bar. He also developed Bedrock Foods, Memphis' only source for prepared paleo meals and snacks, and acquired manufacturing company Memphis Contract Furniture.
