    This week, Chef Roy went on a voyage to Mars. On this fateful trip, he met with the local Martians and was introduced to their culture, hip-hop, and outer space flavors. While jammin’ with the galactic travelers, Chef decided to dedicate a new special to show that food can bring two distant world together. Here it is, sided by side, Earth and Mars Mulitas with caramelized onions, chicken, cheddar and jack cheese, topped with salsa verde and roja. Papi says “Peace” from Outer Space. He’ll be back at the end of the week. Till then, enjoy!

    KOi Fusion had the opportunity to serve at Portland’s favorite annual Costume Ball in the one and only Funky Warehouse.  If you missed this shindig, you’re going to want to snag an invite for next year. KOi rolled up to the warehouse in style: KOi rolls up to the party Check out a few of the photos KOi managed to snap: All kinds of gouls and...leprecauns...get hungry sometime. Even the sauce table got into the spirit! No matter the era, KOi is always delicious. Et tu, K-taco? For those who still don't believe in Santa Clause... Special thanks to the undead @dieselboi of…

    KOi Fusion is launching a brand new service to better feed and satisfy the cravings of hungry K-fans everywhere: KOi Catering! Maybe you think having KOi at a wedding reception would be a little out of place, but KOi served up some delicious K-treats at Keryn Francisco and Tom Sawyer’s reception at the Hoyt Arboretum in Washington Park just last week: Just take a walk down the aisle...for KOi! Note the fancy glasses. KOi was parked up the hill from the beautiful main reception area. KOi was thrilled to fill the bellies of the happy couple and all their guests! Want to have KOi cater…

    KOi Fusion is super grateful to you, our customers and readers, and to the strong cart scene both here in Portland and beyond. We here at KOi appreciate all your support, and we try our best every day to bring scrumptious K-treats to a street near you. KOi Fusion also has a philosophy of sorts, looking at food carts as a positive national movement that benefits diners and cities alike. That’s why this recent LA Times article rubs us the wrong way.  It appears that Los Angeles is cracking down on mobile food cart vendors (AKA our food cart homies) in some dubious ways.  According to…

    We have a very simple understanding of fresh: - When was is picked, dug up, harvested? - When was it cut, chopped, prepped, cooked? We would like to make these timescales as short as possible. And for the most part we do pretty well. We get shipments every day, which means the produce isn’t sitting around in our fridge, we use a distributor that has high volumes of produce, so it isn’t sitting at his place. And when we can we source directly from farms or local producers. For example, your yogurt may have been made yesterday. But these things can be tricky. There are clever folks…

    You may have noticed the new potato cutter. I sent away for a model that works a bit differently than the one we last had. (Our last one literally shattered one day, crazy brittle cheap metal.) Anyway, this one comes off the wall very easily (<20 seconds to remove) making for easy cleaning, and it makes the potatoes a bit easier to cut and works better with shorter arms.

    One of our recent catering gigs was a MIT 100k event. We piloted an idea I’ve been playing with: using business cards as a cheap, low impact vehicle to deliver our messages. Above you can see 3 examples of crude (1st gen) cards I made up. The idea is to present them with those business card holders you see at dentist offices. Grab one if you like. Simple, factual message. 1 message per card. 100% recycled paper.

    We’ve been cutting a lot of fruit lately. You may have noticed we’re picking up select catering gigs. And while fresh juice isn’t a regular option on the truck menu, we still plan to bring it into the store, and still cater events with these juices. Here are some spencer apples for a ginger, apple, cayenne pepper drink. Look for upcoming posts on packaging. I’m going to try to figure this out in the next few months. We’re determined to sort out (a) 100% compostable packaging, (b) the simplest packaging of any take-away restaurant ever (fewest SKUs), and (c)…

    This is the Clover team, Halloween 2009. We had fun (it is one of my favorite holidays). Costumes all around, some spooky menu items (gobblin’s fingers that tasted a bit like rosemary french fries), spooky music, dried ice spiked green lemonade. And of course, free cupcakes. We’ve never made (and given away) so many cupcakes. Many of you were wondering why we didn’t have them on 10/29/09 (our 1 year mark), we thought 2 days in a row would be too much. Thanks all for coming by in costume! more spooky photos after the break…
