World Market on Shelbyville Road sells an imported Curry Ketchup - might be a good place to start for a taste test / reverse engineering project.


Awesome I will have to check that out...Thanks!

Next research will be Banh Mi sandwiches and braised pork belly sandwich. Been playing with Mantou and other Asian steamed buns for that one.

I'm curious how burger buns take too much space but Bahn Mi and others don't? What am I missing?

Wondering aloud how these new "inspection" laws will impact this type of operation.

Initially our operation was going to be a small 6x10 trailer but now we have moved over to a 7x15 truck. So now dry good storage isn't as big of an issue anymore.

As far as the new health department regulations we were planning on using gloves for some operations anyway and cutting boards can be refurbished. I have more time than money so tough times call for creative measures. I have to adhere to an ungodly standard of cleanliness anyway because "roach coaches" have a dirty stigma associated with them. So wearing some flesh colored latex, vinyl or nitrile gloves isn't a real problem on my side. Besides I was in EMS for 15 years and a good portion of that time was spent with gloves on so I am used to it.

Another thing to consider is that my operation is small and my overhead is extremely low. I don't have 25 employees to consider buying gloves for so anything that impacts me just does it on a less expensive scale.
