We had our inspection with the health department on Thursday and passed! This was a huge hurdle for us. Holly, the inspector, was great. We had to switch from the Boulder health department (we initially thought we were going to operate there) to the Broomfield health department and she really sped up the entire application and inspection process for us. With our retail food license in hand, we can now legally serve food to all you hungry folks out there.
We also fired up the truck for the first time this week to make sure everything runs properly. Oven, check. Grill, check. Fryer, check. Refrigerator, check. Hot water generator and waste water removal still unknown. Please help, Chuck!
On Saturday, we dropped off the truck at InkMonstr to get it wrapped. They had just printed our wrap the day before and told us not to touch it. Mama Liu has a hard time following instructions.
Afterward, Team Liu went to the Double Ten Centennial Banquet in Denver to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Republic of China's independence. Thanks to Auntie Sue for inviting us. Multiple history presentations = Gliu and PooShoe nap time.
Mama Liu insisted on bringing those balloons home. PooShoe was not too happy as they obstructed her rear view mirror while driving.
We are planning to do a soft opening on Saturday, October 15 and have our grand opening on Monday, October 17. Stay tuned for more details!
Ridic story of the week: We soaked and washed the paint brushes we used on the truck last week. I asked Mama Liu not to dump the paint ridden water down our kitchen sink. 30 minutes later, I walk into the bathroom to find a toilet bowl full of green paint. Freakin Mama Liu!
Cooking experiment of the week: We tried making beef noodle soup with hand-pulled noodles per Chef Tomm. Fail. Ended up rolling the dough out pancake-style and slicing it up. I must say that fresh noodles are very tasty, infinitely better than store-bought dry noodles.
