Westword's 2018 Best of Denver Winner - Food Truck/Cart

Winner, winner chicken dinner! We are so incredibly humbled and honored to be named the winner of Westword Magazine's 2018 Best of Denver award for Best Food Truck/Cart. We spent over a year bringing this brand to life and making sure our recipes would keep people coming back for more before we even hit the road. To kick off our third season with such an honor has been amazing and our hearts are filled with gratitude to everyone who supported us during this endeavor. We couldn't have done it without you all and we know it. We'd like to thank Westword's readers, contributors, and editorial staff for finding the truck, trying our food, and recognizing us with this award. This is something that we will cherish forever.

We're approaching month three of our Rayback Collective adventure and day one is still an exciting blur. If you didn't know, our day one was the Rayback's day two and we have to say, the people here are great and feel like family. We're all forging this new path in our lives and it's been in such a supportive and professional environment. We've built a community here and hope to continue bringing you all fun flavorful foods. We love being part of such a cool idea and want to say thank you to the customers supporting the Rayback Collective and to the staff and ownership here.

Speaking of adventure, someone at the Rayback showed me this little ditty made by Mike & Amanda Toillion of the YouTube vlog channel, Don't Panic Adventure Club. The Toillion's are based out of Boulder, where Mike works for NASA and Amanda is a lawyer, and they're documenting their travel adventures locally and around the world. They made this great video about the Rayback Collective for the Don't Panic Adventure Club vlog. It's a pretty smart, fun, and well done vlog that everyone should check out. Anyway, we couldn't help but notice that our truck made an appearance and that you ate our food! We also checked out your YouTube channel and noticed that some of your travel adventure videos take place in Japan. I've been there a few times, we need to trade stories. Come by the truck and say hi!

Lockdown your Sunday with us at Pridefest, the largest LGBTQ event in Boulder County where we'll be pulling up the truck and serving our Asian-style street food. This event is special to us because we truly understand the meaning of love winning. We've watched our gay friends fight for the basic right to marry as equal citizens under the law and then proudly watched as they said, "I do." We love the coming out stories and the pride that comes from being true to yourself and we love feeding all of you, so come get some food already.

Before swinging by the truck, head out to support the runners, walkers, strollers, and sashayers at the BIG GAY 5K at 10:30am, you should note that this run has a costume contest with cash prizes or head over to the LGBTQ Visibility March at 10:45am for a little "We're here, we're queer, love us already" visibility. When you get hungry, come see our half rainbow colored truck from 11am to 6pm in Boulder Central Park (Broadway & Canyon). Okay, so the truck colors are more an homage to Colorado's colors, but we'd rainbow the hell out of it this week if we could!
