About this listen

(Recorded on June 7, 2021)

One minute you're drinking a margarita with ants in the jungle and the next thing you know, you're 48 hours from your first pop-up dinner!

In this episode, we check in mid-prep for a dinner at a family restaurant in Nosara on their off night.

Capacity is 25 people and everything is still in motion - invite to patrons, sourcing ingredients, planning the timeline - everything!

It was a rush, but also gave us a new appreciation for those in the restaurant business. There is no true time off because it seems you're always coordinating with vendors, preparing ingredients, checking reservations.. and we're just on our first seating!

We are confident but share our complementing anxieties because we've never actually cooked at a restaurant before though we've fed our family and friends in home kitchens.

In this episode, Parul also takes another step forward in her coconut yogurt empire. Shoutout to @veganricha for jumping in to guide the effort.
