August 2003. Nine years later, how did we get here?
"You should open a restaurant", the enthusiastic cooking students would tell Noy. Wed mull it over for a week or two, just enough time to let the cons outweigh the pros:
too much time too much work no social life weird hours
The list went on but little by little the pros were gaining ground:
people would love our food we could keep it simple fresh from our garden nobody else does it like this lets either do it or quit talking about it
During March of 1994 (our last Spring Break?)
the first real questions emerged:
where should it be? where do we get the money? how do you run a restaurant?
The search for just the right spot was daunting:
"I can see seven other Asian restaurants from here". "Do you think she really owns this place?" No traffic, no kitchen, too expensive.
We couldnt read our ad in the Chinese News but were assured it said "Restaurant Wanted"
"Ive got three places to show you", the realtor said Too small Too expensive "Oh, look"
Sitting in the dining room at Great China we gazed upon a beautiful sight:
"Wow, big hospital, right across the street." "Could I have a Tsing Tao, please?" "How many people do you think there are over there?" "Good neighborhoods, DU too." "No other Thai place close by." "If we cant make it here at least well know were in the wrong business." "Another Tsing Tao please."
So we took the plunge in May of 94
"How much do we need, and where are we going to get it?" Cash this in, cash that in. Close, but no restaurant. "If you have faith in the cook, youll put in the house." (Real Estate guy) So we put in the house.
Its Ours Now what?
Lotta work, lotta sweat, lotta friends, lotta ours. And weve been presenting our happy diners with some of the healthiest, most delicious food theyve ever had ever since. Come in and give us a taste.
