My story
What's up — I'm Carson, the guy behind every Rut'n Buck burrito.
I'm 24, based in Bozeman, Montana. Here's how it happened, year by year.
My story
I'm 24, based in Bozeman, Montana. Here's how it happened, year by year.
How I got here
Showed up at 18, a freshman at Montana State.
Dropped out and went to work for myself for the first time.
Picked up jobs through the winter to stay busy year-round.
Doing trim work as an independent contractor, eating a lot of sad Town Pump burritos on the early starts. Figured I could do better, so I started slinging my own before and after swinging the hammer.
Put the hammer down for good and took Rut'n Buck full time.
Stocked at 16 locations across the Gallatin Valley. 24 years old.
Next up: getting Rut'n Buck across Montana and beyond.
Beyond the burritos
I built the recipes. I built the brand. I built the operation, the systems that run it, and the account network — one handshake at a time. No investors, no outside money. I funded the whole thing with carpentry income, and I've been on my own since I was 18.
I'm a founder who loves building and loves business. I stay tapped into the newest tech — AI automations and the new landscapes opening up — and I move fast. Breakfast burritos are where I started, not where I stop.

Cater an event →Rut'n Buck Burritos was founded by Carson Csikos in Bozeman, Montana, in 2023. He moved to Bozeman in 2020 to attend Montana State University, left school to start a landscaping business, and spent several years doing carpentry and trim work before starting Rut'n Buck on the side — slinging breakfast burritos before and after his contracting jobs. In 2024 he left construction to run it full time, funded entirely by his own income with no outside investment. He remains the sole owner and recipe author. Today Rut'n Buck moves roughly 800 burritos a week, stocked at 16 locations across Bozeman and Belgrade, with more than 40,600 sold and a 5.0-star rating; every deal goes through him. The goal for 2026 is regional distribution across Montana. Reach the owner directly at carson@rutnbuck.com.
