Hello Friends!
Thank you for your patience and I sorry for the inconsistent posts. Managing my own kitchen has been a lot of work.
As some of you know, I recently acquired a kitchen (on 2/18) and have been working hard to get up an running again. Fo the most part, we are back in operation. I’ve spent the last month cleaning, organizing, prepping, getting inspected, meeting city/county/state requirements, printing new labels, onboarding subtenants, being a partner, and trying to be a good doggie dad. Lots has happened, and unfortunately writing this newsletter has taken a back seat. But, I have guiltily been thinking about wiring here. I miss writing here.
This one will be short because I am between walking my dog after a long day at work, and printing new labels (all of our old labels are no longer compliant since they have our old address). I wanted to make sure I gave you all the updates!
Farmer’s Markets. We are back at the Mission Mercado in San Francisco, and we are also at the Ferry Building Saturday Market. This is a dream come true. When i first moved to San Francisco in 2012, I would visit this market on Saturday’s and ogle at chefs buying produce— I remember freakin out seeing Charles Phan and Chris Consentino back in the day, shopping and tasting all the goodies at the marker. Now, Bolita is here!! Thursday Mission Mercado 3-7pm. Saturday Ferry Building 8am-2pm.
New Website! I updates our website and it’s clear I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s playful and a bit hard to navigate, but it feels like me. There’s an event calendar. A form for catering/private dinners (we are almost booked through the summer!!)
More Pop-Ups!! It’s weird to keep calling ourselves a pop-up, we are pretty established at this point and have a permanent home, but we do pop-up from time to time and have pop-up events, so I guess we are still a pop-up (?!?) Anyway, check our calendar. Come eat some our food, I think it’s pretty tasty and it varies from our market offerings.
OFF THE GRID!!! We will be at Off the Grid in Fort Mason this Spring and Summer. We will be there the 2nd and 4th Fridays. Our first date being next Friday 3/31! Come say hi! Eat some tasty quesadillas, tacos and vampiros.
Our New Molino is coming in soon. The motor is being installed and then it will get shipped. I cannot wait. Maybe we’ll throw a Molino Party in out new kitchen. Would you come to that?
Our new team members have been incredible!! Kevin, Candelario (aka Felix), Ruby, and Gus have joined me. If you see them at an event or market in the coming weeks, say hi! They’re a great group of folx. I am so thankful that they choose to spend their time at Bolita. And our first employee, Carmen, is coming back soon!! It’s so cool having team like this. That being said, please be patient with us as we train up and get everything consistent. It’s going to be great, just be patient with us.
