<p>Tammy Rynkiewicz is a self-starter.</p><p>While the Nanticoke resident has been an independent saleswoman for multiple companies, she admitted her true passion has always been in the kitchen.</p><p>So Rynkiewicz combined her experience in sales and love of food and created her own business: TNT Subs &amp; More.</p><p>&#8220;I left my job in 2015 to pursue my homemade dip mix business,&#8221; she said, noting the thought of opening a deli was never far from her mind. &#8220;I started looking and talking to a friend and we decided to start TNT and the opportunity came about.&#8221;</p><p>Rynkiewicz was one of the contestants at The Woodlands Inn last Friday evening, battling it out in the area&#8217;s first-ever NEPA Sharks event for a chance to win $5,000 for their businesses.</p><p>The event was put on by Golden Mile Funding LLC as well as the Times Leader Media Group.</p><p>TNT Subs &amp; More, of Nanticoke, creates various homemade foods, specializing in pierogi and various other ethnic dishes. </p><p>Recently, the business has become mobile.</p><p>&#8220;We teamed up with another food truck who sells ethnic foods and we go to events together, offering the public full Polish cuisine,&#8221; said Rynkiewicz.</p><p>She found out about the competition through the Times Leader, and was planning on using the prize money to further advertising initiatives and purchase more equipment.</p><p>The Baut Studios was announced the winner of the competition Friday, earning the $5,000 grand prize.</p><p>Despite not winning, Rynkiewicz said she will continue to do what she loves &#8212; regardless of the challenges that come with being a business owner.</p><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of hard work. A lot of unpaid, hard work,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The best part is giving back. I found that giving back to the community is very rewarding.&#8221;</p><p>Find out more about TNT Subs at its Facebook page.</p><style>
