The owner of Yuan Wonton is gearing up for her next project, a brick-and-mortar location in Park Hill that she's opening with two other small businesses.
, both of which will also operate from the new space. "I first met Rachel [Elkon] and Amy [Patterson] of Sweets and Sourdough at our commissary," Wong recalls."Because they are bakers, they work the overnight shift. And on some initial late nights at the commissary, I made it a mission to find out who they were simply because of the smells coming from their production kitchen.
She made a similar connection with Long Nguyen and Shauna Seaman of Pho King Rapidos."I was so excited for their trailer and to help support the mission of creating a little more diversity in Denver’s dining scene," Wong says. The goal is"to continue to grow our businesses yet still stay small. Staying small and local is a very important factor."
The project will also give her a chance to expand her offerings."I am personally excited to continue introducing more dishes that I grew up on and intertwining them with fusion and techniques that I’ve learned over the years as a professional Shef," she adds. For Wong, though, food is about more than just the dishes she serves."I’d love to see Yuan Wonton synonymous with not only good food, but integrity in food as well as the importance of building communities," she concludes."We would also love to be a benchmark for other industry peers as far as how to create an environment in which a true work/life balance in this industry really can exist.
