I know it’s a long post but so deserving to be said.
Oh my goodness! What a night! It was so nice to see familiar faces and new faces. Oh how we loved seeing you return multiple times in one night. (What happens at the egg roll tent stays at the egg roll tent!) 😂 We felt your love. Thank you for supporting us and cheering us on. We see you, we hear you, and know that we love you.
To our staff, THANK YOU! I had two of my high school friends (Kennedy class of ‘88) helping us out with their spouses and their kids. Cindy (Terry, JoLee) and Shelley (Andy, Blake)our friendship means the world to me. Thankful for you and your families. Kim, Abby, Carter…another family that has been by our side since day 1. Carter wrapped up his second shift with us, the first being Dyersville RAGBRAI. I think his mind has been blown by how many pork egg rolls and crab Rangoons we go through. 🤯Derek, Drew, Maeday, Jayson, and Joey are also key workers who you may have seen at our events and help hold down operations. Our son was able to make it back. He helped make things run smoothly in the kitchen area ensuring food safety and quality control was top notch! Hannah, my friend’s daughter I’ve known since she was 5 and now she is 30 also pitched in. JoLee recruited her friend Lexi to help us as a cashier. Of course Rex…the fry master! Oh how my mom and dad would be so proud of what he has put into this business.
20 people: 6 were cashiers, three fryers, a grill master, packers, and runners. All working hard because you made a choice to support us by eating our egg rolls, crab Rangoons, potstickers, and pork skewers. We value each and every one of you. We hope our food exceeded your expectations. We have two more Farmers Markets in September and Asian Fest! We will bring out the bao buns for that event.
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you to this community that supports many small businesses like ours. As you may know I have struggled this month physically, mentally, and emotionally. MS has not been kind. Thank you for reaching out and showing your love. Thank you for asking how I am doing and giving me hugs. Last night did more for me than any medication could provide. (Not that meds are bad for you). I love you all for that. 🖤💛❤️
