What Is Colorado Cuisine?1/8/2018 This is a question of passionate discussion among my friends, family, and people I meet. Of course being from Pueblo where green chili is more of a necessity at any meal rather than an option my opinion always will sway to where I was raised and the food I love. Which made me think that Colorado cuisine is not only regional but diverse and unique among other states. I feel it is important to not only keep these traditions alive but to recognize our food culture as apart of our identity. Whether you are from Denver or Rocky Ford everyone has a story about the food they grew up eating. So we would like to here your stories and what types of food you think best represent our state?

Standards are Crazy1/5/2018 Being informed of your local regulations is key when starting your food truck or trailer. We are approached by people all over Colorado for bids this takes us down many a bureaucratic rabbit holes. With our promise that our builds will meet your local standards we do allot of research for each new area. Every time I dive into a bid for someone I'm shocked with the disparities in our state, from county to county and even city to city, lets not get into other states.
Do they require, fire suppression, self closing windows, how much refrigeration, can you be self contained, do you need a commissary, how much water will you need, what temp should your water be? I can go on and on. The fact is the state has standard which all health departments follow, where it goes side ways is the interpretation. Different counties or even inspectors can take the written rules in whatever they want. I can't be the judge on whether this is right or wrong. I can only deal with these variations and the heart of it all is to keep the industry safe for you and your customers. I just want to urge anyone who is starting a business to be informed, the regional subtleties can have a bit of backlash. This is a bit of venting, but please just be prepared and do your research. Or you can always pay some one to do it. |
