  • ALL-NATURAL CHICKEN WRAPS.

  • WE'VE HAD FISH TACOS, WHICH WE

  • REALLY ENJOY.

  • WE'VE HAD OMELETTES.

  • AGAIN, WITH OUR OMELETTES AND

  • WRAPS, WE TRY TO USE EITHER

  • LOCALLY SOURCED WITHIN 100 MILES

  • OF SOMETHING WE KNOW OR ORGANIC.

  • AND, FOR THE MOST PART, WE CAN,

  • AND AT THIS POINT, WE'VE GOTTEN

  • TO THE POINT WHERE, WHEN IT'S

  • NOT ONE OF THOSE TWO THINGS,

  • THEN WE LET PEOPLE KNOW.

  • >> WITH TEMPTING MENU ITEMS AND

  • APPRECIATIVE CUSTOMERS, CHEF

  • PAUL ALSO LIKES THE INTERACTION

  • HIS FOOD TRUCK OFFERS.

  • >> AND THEN FROM FREEDOM FARMS

  • AND COLBUCK'S FARMS AND

  • CASTLE CREEK AND CORNUCOPIA, WE

  • GOT THE REST OF THE VEGETABLES,

  • WHICH ARE, LIKE, KALE, PEPPERS,

  • AND ONIONS.

  • FOOD IS KIND OF THE COMMUNAL

  • LANGUAGE.

  • IT TRANSCENDS, YOU KNOW,

  • CULTURAL BARRIERS.

  • IT'S SOMETHING WE ALL SHARE IN

  • COMMON.

  • SO, FOR ME, ANY TIME I CAN

  • COMMUNE WITH PEOPLE AND FIND OUT

  • WHAT THEY WANT, IT'S REALLY

  • REWARDING.

  • >> THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF THE

  • FOLKS IN SIOUX LAND, CHEF PAUL'S

  • SPROUTSTREAM CONTINUES TO HIT

  • THE HIGHWAY TO BRING HIS FRESH
