We got a little ambitious with the last Ethno-Food Bucket. Apparently, people do not like choices, and our five item menu was absolutely mystifying to many. ("An enchilada...with pineapple...?") Fuck you, we're keeping the enchiladas. We sold only three of our items last time- the fried rice, my weird potato experiment (red potatoes, onions, black pepper, topped with a ton of cheese and some bacon strips) and Mom's curry. No one wanted the sesame peanut noodles, but that could be because they are served cold, and maybe the kids read my mind when I was realizing I had forgotten the lime juice and the noodles tasted like peanut butter. I put the hard sell on the enchiladas to those who had them last time. What's up with people hating on hot 'n savory pineapple? SOMEONE TELL ME! Long story short, we aaaaaalmost made back our expenses and tried to roll it over into a fun and romantic date. That also did not go as planned.
Having said that, Madame Crispy's Ethno-Food Bucket is back to give the people what they want- a whole lotta fried rice. We're bringing back the enchiladas because they're spicy, cheesy and vegetarian, and goddamn muthafuckin' tasty. New item is Italian comfort food pasta aglio e olio, something I could eat everyday. The popular curry will not be returning due to the difficulty keeping it hot without the veggies turning into mush. I think three bucks is not too much to ask, and we are keeping a keen eye on our budget.
I have a great time working this thang, but I think we work too hard to not make a few extra bucks. Come to the show...bring a friend...come hungry!
