Soft opening @ Denver Rescue Mission

On Saturday, we partnered with Denver Rescue Mission to host an event at The Crossing where our food truck provided a free hot lunch to the Mission's clients who are currently battling hunger. God has blessed us abundantly over the years and our hearts felt burdened to give back to the community.

We spent many days and hours prepping for the event and while it was stressful at times, it was a great learning experience. We got much needed practice using the equipment on the truck.

Saturday was a very early morning for us. We got up at the crack of dawn to haul our truck and ourselves down to Denver. One of the first things we did was fill up the water tank. The water hose reminds me of an umbilical cord.

After heating up the oil and firing up the oven and grill, Mama Liu got to frying the chicken while Gliu warmed up the BBQ pork and PooShoe baked the sao bing. We prepped food for 300 people to be served over the course of a little more than an hour. It was insane. When we were assembling the sandwiches, I felt like the stack of unassembled sao bing were growing instead of shrinking.

While we were working in the truck, Daddy Liu checked out the activity in the kitchen. The fried chicken was a hit.

After we had cooked all the food, we were finally able to take a little breather and mingle with some of the Mission's clients.

One of our favorite Texas men drove all the way up from Colorado Springs to say hi. We love you Jon Man!

Yes, we all crashed when we got home, but this was an extremely rewarding experience. Denver, thank you for giving us this opportunity. It was a pleasure to serve those in need. Chef Kameo, thanks for sharing your kitchen with us. We were more than happy to give you a much needed break.
