Our First Day on the Food Trailer: Memorial Day Madness!

The food trailer (Something Sourdough Pizza – and Bubble Tea) has been a work in progress for weeks. We bought it used and, well… let’s just say we basically rebuilt half of it. 😅

It’s been a blur of trials, triumphs, and what feels like a hundred trips to Lowe’s. But on Friday, May 23rd, it finally passed inspection — and just like that, we were cleared for our first official event: the Memorial Day Parade on Monday.

The night before? Absolute chaos. We were strapping everything down until 11:30 PM — and we still had dough balls to make!

On parade day, we rolled out early and set up smoothly… then came the wait. Would anyone even show up?

And then — they came.
And didn’t stop for two full hours.

Endless bubble tea orders. A few pizzas. And a whole lot of "wait, where’s more lemonade?"

Let’s just say:

• The 1-gallon lemonade container? A tragic underestimation.

• My mom was sent on an emergency lemonade run (thanks, Mom!)

• By the end: 8 gallons of tea + 9 gallons of lemonade served!

It was absolutely a family affair — if you got close to the trailer, we put you to work.

And somehow, through the chaos, sweat, and caffeine…
our first day was a success. 🎉

Stay tuned for lessons learned, favorite customer moments, and what we’re changing for the next outing. Spoiler: bigger pitchers.

Fueled by bubble tea and blind optimism,
