šŸ”„one of our favorite cities šŸ”„

05/19/2026

No one asked.

05/17/2026

I guess now weā€™re stuck here.

05/17/2026

Drove too far for this festivalā€¦
no regrets.

05/10/2026

Apparently, I thought wrong
I really thought people would stay home today.

With talks of another virusā€¦
the economy being roughā€¦
and everyone just mentally and physically tiredā€¦

I honestly thought itā€™d be slow.
But once again, yā€™all proved me wrong.

Thank you for choosing us, supporting us, and spending your day with us. We donā€™t take any of it for granted. Thank you also to the organizers for always taking care of us.

Happy Cinco šŸ‡²šŸ‡½
Celebrating Cinco De Mayo with our Hispanic Brothers and Sisters. We love how our food binds us together and we become one diverse community.

A lil blurry Also, noisy!

Closed the booth, packed everything up, ready to restā€¦
My brain: ā€œLetā€™s replay that 7PM rush like game film.ā€

04/19/2026

We thought 3 grills would be enoughā€¦
we were WRONG šŸ˜³šŸ”„

Last time in Anaheim, 2 grills couldnā€™t keep up. So today, we leveled up to 3ā€¦ thinking we were ready.
But yā€™all showed up DIFFERENT. Line after line, nonstop.

We accept the challenge šŸ’Ŗ
And honestly? Nothing hits harder than seeing you come back smiling after that first biteā€¦ or hearing ā€œthis is šŸ”„ā€ before you even finish your plate.

To our day-ones and repeat customersā€¦ we see you. We appreciate you. And weā€™re not slowing down anytime soon.

So next timeā€¦ 4 grills?! šŸ‘€šŸ”„

People donā€™t care for some rain if theyā€™re at
Rain forecast? Still sending it šŸŒ§ļøšŸ”„

Come back for Day āœŒļø!
We cannot thank anyone enough for the support. As per usual, congratulations on a successful event.

04/04/2026

The head be loud sometimes šŸ˜¬
Heart racing, hands shakingā€¦ still gotta show up tho

03/22/2026

We packed up early
Whole week leading up to thisā€¦ heatwave had us stressed.

We kept thinkingā€¦ ā€˜no oneā€™s gonna come out in this weather.ā€™

Day of the eventā€”we pulled up still unsureā€¦ watching the sky, feeling that heatā€¦

Then somehowā€¦the weather shifted. It is the beach afterall!!!

Perfect breeze. Sun wasnā€™t fighting us anymore.

Promoters showed up STRONG. And then the people cameā€¦ and kept coming.

From worrying all weekā€¦to serving a crowd weā€™ll never forget.
This one meant everything! Due to being sold out, we ended up packing up early. Next time, weā€™ll be more prepared.

Is this the same for you?
Everyone says strangers will support your business more than your friends.

And honestlyā€¦ for a lot of small businesses, thatā€™s true.

Strangers will wait in line, pay full price, post your food, and bring their friends back.

But I gotta sayā€¦ we got lucky.

Because the people who kept showing up to our booth, sharing our food, and pushing us to keep goingā€¦ were actually our friends.

And the crazy part?

Those strangers who first came as customersā€¦ kept coming back so much that theyā€™re basically friends now too.

So yeah, strangers might build your businessā€¦

but loyalty turns customers into family.



P.S. We made friends in the vendor community too, thatā€™s always a great plus.

03/15/2026

So weā€™re just BBQ right?!?
The best feeling is seeing people smile after the first biteā€¦ the craziest part is hearing someone ask for a discount right after.

POV: Santa Ana winds eat you up
The Santa Ana winds had our tent fighting for its life before the event even started. šŸŒ¬ļø Our equipment kept acting up, the wind wouldnā€™t stop, and honestlyā€¦ we were scared no one would even show up.

But somehow, people still came out. Families, friends, familiar facesā€¦ showing love and supporting small businesses. Moments like this remind us how blessed we are. Our city really has the best community. ā¤ļøšŸ”„

They said ā€˜Twas ā€œtoo hotā€ and ā€œnot worth it.ā€
In 86 degree February heat.
Bills still lined up at home.

But culture showed up.
Diversity showed up.
Community showed OUT.

And when you see people take that first biteā€¦
when you see them smileā€¦
when you hear, ā€œthis is SO goodā€ā€¦

You lowkey wanna scream at the top of your lungs because youā€™re that proud of yourself.

But instead of screamingā€¦
you push harder.
You grind longer.
You build bigger.

Pressure either breaks you or brands you.
We chose the second. Thank you for always making our events worth while. Thank you for your smiles. Thank you for your business.

Because being broke ainā€™t it.

Besides, living is expensive ā€” so yeah, Iā€™m addicted to working. Bills donā€™t care about balance. šŸ˜ŒšŸ’¼

Broke, Blessed & Still Grilling

Stitch: The cost of living is insane, thatā€™s why I grind every event like rentā€™s due tomorrow ā€” and I still wouldnā€™t trade this life for anything.

And, on top of that, owning a business is so expensive. Thereā€™s never a guarantee that you will get any back. But we grindā€¦ we grind hard!

POV: You came for to see the dragons danceā€¦ but stayed for the BBQ šŸ‘€šŸ”„šŸŒ™

We love Lunar New Year for the lanterns, the music, and the dragons dancing in the streetsā€¦ but what we love most is the community ā€” families showing up, friends laughing, and everyone just enjoying the moment together. šŸ‰āœØ

How to Win a Girl on Valentineā€™s Day (Hint: Itā€™s Food) ā¤ļøšŸ½ļø

Win her heart? Start with her stomach. ā¤ļøšŸ”„

Valentineā€™s Day isnā€™t about the biggest bouquet ā€” itā€™s about knowing her favorite plate, remembering the sauce she likes, and showing up with something made (or chosen) with intention.

Flowers die.
Chocolate disappears.
But the guy who pays attention to what she loves?
He stays on her mind.

Feed her well. Treat her right. Secure the second date. šŸ˜ŒšŸ½ļø

02/08/2026

No complaints here šŸ‘

Busy markets are what we pray for.
Long lines, tired feet, sold-out signs, and familiar faces coming back for more.
This is the kind of busy that makes all the slow days worth it. šŸ™šŸ”„šŸ¢

02/01/2026

Still hoping for the day we donā€™t have to prove we belong.

Some days weā€™re not chasing growth or applause.
Weā€™re just hoping to stand in a room without feeling like we have to earn our place.

We show up early, follow the rules, work twice as hardā€”and still feel like belonging comes with conditions. Every ā€œmaybe next timeā€ reminds us that space isnā€™t always made for everyone.

So we keep building anyway.
Not for validationā€”
but for the day we can finally say, we belong, without explaining why.

Money out: guaranteed.
Money in: not promised. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø

Thatā€™s the reality of running a small businessā€”bills donā€™t wait, expenses keep coming, and faith does most of the heavy lifting. Still, we show up every day, invest in ourselves, and keep pushing even when the numbers donā€™t add up yet. Tough seasons donā€™t mean failureā€”they mean weā€™re still in the fight. Better days are coming. šŸ’ŖšŸ”„

01/25/2026

POV: January was dead šŸ’€

January was quiet.
No events. No crowds.

Just usā€¦ hoping for S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G!

This is the part of small business ownership nobody glamorizes. The waiting. The hoping. The checking emails that donā€™t come. The calendar with empty weekends and big dreams still circled in bold.

Itā€™s hard not to question yourself during months like this. Hard not to wonder if youā€™re doing enough, if people still care, if the work is worth it. But even in the slow seasons, we remind ourselves why we started.

Weā€™re hopeful for February.
Weā€™re praying the rest of the year brings opportunities, growth, and moments that make the long days worth it. Weā€™re trusting that quiet doesnā€™t mean the endā€”it just means preparation.

To every small business going through a slow start this year: youā€™re not alone. Weā€™re still here. Still pushing. Still believing.

Hereā€™s to better months ahead šŸ¤šŸ”„
