Dan, I agree with you in that your show IS about the food; and you did a great job diving more into the history of the truck and about the food aspect which I haven't seen previously. I was just saying that other than a quick one second twitter mention it almost make it look like you don't know about the national fame they have garnered. IMO you could have said something like “You're getting great press about your guerrilla tactics by using Twitter; however you guys really pump out some amazing fusion food; are you sick of hearing about the twitter aspect of your business or is it the old 'any press is good press' axiom?” …..you get the drift.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback.

Our leaving out the strong social media attention around Kogi was pretty intentional. It's my feeling that if you look at most of the press they receive, it's focused around that exact aspect. Rarely do I see articles about their food.

But I do understand your point, and appreciate the feedback.

I have just come from the Chef's Collaborative Summit in Chicago and I am getting a real feel for street vendors and small businesses that are creating an “underground food movement.” Sustainable farmers are linking with these vendors and some Slow Food practices are participating, but the biggest message is that a vendor can feature his/her flavor profile without the need for a conventional restaurant. Dan I commend you for capturing this “Underground Movement.” We need to unite the cause and revolutionize the industry.
