Hello, good people!
We’ve just deleted 250 spam comments written in Greek, and by our count that means we’ve surpassed our one month birthday. Good thing there’s only one candle to blow out because this month has been such a whirlwind, we’re breathless.
- huff and puff and blow the candle down
Look, nobody knows what to expect when they open a new food truck serving up fresh attitude and nommy Hawaiian Korean cuisine. Harvard hasn’t done the case study yet, so we didn’t know to prepare for certain things. Like a group of drunks who couldn’t afford their $27 tab (which is equal to, sayyy, 45 minutes worth of orders during the lunch rush). We gave them the food, an IOU, and chalked it up to community karma. Well, flatten our tire and siphon our petrol if they didn’t come back the next night and PAY UP! Props, fellas! Holla!
We also didn’t know that joggers would run by, double back, and choose kalbi beef over finishing the jog. We didn’t know about a strapping buck named Thor who eats tacos in his car and keeps a log on youtube. We didn’t know we’d be on a first name basis with saucy die-hards like Kurt, Joe, Randy, Daryn, Kara, Anne, Herb, Jane, Stephanie, Matthew, Malek, Alex, Candace, Hui, and Fival. Fieval? 5al? Spellcheck can not save us here. But Fival can.
We DID know we’d get 100% on our Health Department inspection, though. We totally knew that would happen. We are run by clean freaks. But did YOU know we got 100%?
Weeeeeee!
We learned about In & Out Burger’s secret menu from a local food writing sheik, and also about their double secret agenda which we won’t link to because it’ll be all *AHHH CONTROVERSY CONTROVERSY blah blah blah.* Our agenda is to feed the hungry. As long as they have $2. Which brings up Calvin, our very own panhandler who stays far enough away from the truck to keep us from harassing him, and spends his loot on kalbi tacos over and over and over. Bless.
In our first month we’ve been psyched to receive attention from Daily Candy (on day #1!), from Greg of the cool videos (from day #0!), from The Stranger who didn’t totally trash us and used words like “divine” and “elegant” in their review, as well as an elegant picture of Ms. Divine herself, Kamala Saxton. (insert puckered lips kissing some serious boss a$$ right here. “A$$” btw is a spelling we picked up from a fellow tweeter called WestSeattleMama [these tacos kick A$$!] and we like it because it makes us feel like we’re in Vega$ with all that $un$hine and liquor everywhere which means lot$ of hungry drunk$ needing $pam $lider$.) We’ve got a smattering of fans on facebook, and we even got our first fan photo of a nice lady doing a happy dance after her first Marination experience. Yahoo!
But we’ll tell you something, sexy folks! Our mention is the August issue of GQ makes us feel soooooooper sexy! Page 38 page 38 page 38 is great! It makes us feel like sexy tofu. Or like that sexy tofu-eating foodie called Herbavoracious. Rawr.
We feel so hot, if Hot Wheels wasn’t already taken we’d be rebranding right this minute.
But this feeling, which we can’t fight, is that we owe it all to y’all. Our Marination Mob. Thanks for an outta sight first month, party people! Here’s to one more! Oh wait… We mean, at least one. A bunch of ones more. Anyhoo.
Chow!
