FAQ: What’s Up With The CoLors?

I’ve been meaning to answer this pregunta for a whiLe now…

What do the different colors of the week mean? Diffrent types of food depending on the day?

Thank you

That’s a super cute and very good question!  But no, it doesn’t mean different types of food depending on the day.

AHAHAHAHA.  Y’aLL thought I was gonna be a punk this time, huh?  No worries, I onLy save being a douche for stupid questions and ridicuLous requests from peopLe who want to be coddLed aLL the time.  The thing is, I don’t like to coddLe — but I DO like to cuddLe every once in a whiLe.

ActuaLLy, that sounds like a good idea.

Why DON’T we snuggLe up and just cuddLe?

So lean in, listen good and I’ll teLL you the story behind the trocas and aLL those crazy coLores.

Once upon a time, we onLy had one taco truck, one shift and no managers.  Just a bunch of hooLigans taking turns at the griLL.  But then something magicaL happened, and for some reason, business just reaLLy picked up.  So much so that we got to the point where we needed a second truck.

But I thought it wouLd be confusing to Twitter out 2 different scheduLes for the same time sLot, so I thought it wouLd be a lot more fun and a lot more easier to figure out that there was more than one truck by naming the trucks.

I put up a bLog, asked for our fans to name them and the rest is history.  Papi reaLLy dug Roja and Verde as the names and later on deveLoped our saLsa verde at the height of summer.  SaLsas naranja and azuL soon foLLowed.

But every time we got a new truck, we decided to stay with the same coLor scheme.

AzuL got its name because when we first got it, the entire truck was painted bLue and had the words “BIG BLUE” tattooed over its metaL fLesh.

Naranja got its name cuz, weLL, it’s our speciaL truck for Orange County.

Each truck has its own fLavor in terms of personaLity, which is largeLy driven by its managers.  I was actuaLLy going to do a run-down of each truck’s managers, but as it turns out, we’re going to pLay a game of musicaL chairs next month, meaning that AzuL’s YoungHo and Roja’s Luis are probabLy moving down south to take over Naranja’s lunch and dinner shifts.

The current manager of Naranja is good oLe Jae who is in the process of being kidnapped for our new restaurant that we’re HOPING to open within a month.  HOPING.

But here’s a good marker for teLLing the trucks apart — the oLder they are, the more battLe scars they’ve got.  So Roja’s the one that got bombed, Verde’s got its sticker partiaLLy peeLing off, AzuL’s huge and with a light-up board menu and bumping ALpine sound system and Naranja’s even huger with a naveL orange sunset on its side sticker.

Here’s a question for our die-hard KoGi fans: Can you teLL the brothers apart???  Oh, and I’ll do you one better: Who’s the manager for each truck, lunch and dinner shifts???

Let’s see who can name the most correctLy!!!!11one

I hope you find a fLavorite troca to caLL your own.

Love and tacos,
Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

P.S. Massive apoLogies for not bLogging as much as usuaL.  I’m in the midst of doing KoGi work and work for… our new restaurant.  ALSO, I’m hopping on a pLane to Peru (perfect timing –__–;;) for 11 days next week, but no worries.  My littLe cousin and current AzuL night manager YoungHo is going to take over the bLogging in my very temporary absence.

P.P.S.  You know my fLavorite truck name suggestions to this DAY are stiLL “KoGi Juan Kenobi” and “Numba JUAN” — but thankfuLLy they were both VETOED.
