Seven years ago we had an idea. We bought a 1996 Ford Step Van and built our own food truck from the ground up. We decided we would know how the numbers worked after the first day of sales. We knew nothing and still, we kept going.
Now our beloved passion project, officially has a brick and mortar. I honestly don’t know how we got here. Seven years of festivals, pop-ups, interviews, events, brunches, flat tires, and check engine lights. All to serve a culinary category that our combined souls must have created in the ether long before we met on Earth. It’s a grueling profession, you HAVE to believe in what you’re doing to weather the unpredictable nature of the food business. My days start long before the sun rises, when the work at the kitchen is done, I come home and fall asleep to a whirling carousel of plates and dishes that started as raw ingredients 14 hours earlier.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the people we’ve met on the road, how we used to hand out 1,000’s of samples (and still do). The truth is each and every one of our loyal, supportive customers were earned, face to face, one by one.
Every step of the way my family, friends, and community have been there, getting it done. IT has been chaotic, terrifying , and one of the most fulfilling things I’ve embarked upon.
To my community, forgive me for lacking in the communication department, I’m doing my best. So many faces new, and old. I am starting to forget names and where I met folks but it’s all because I’m pouring my entire being into making sure that all of the love and energy I have is going into the dishes we serve and the team we are building and the family we are raising.
So thankful for where this journey has taken us. I hope to find balance someday in the near future but until then I’m going to focus on being relentless.
Also, I love you every confounding thing we do together lights a fire in all the remaining youthful cells I have in my body. Of all the thoughts tossed around in my head. “What is life?” Is not a question I ever have to ask.
