The creation of Chon Som
Chon Som is built on love, passion, and friendship. On June 12th, we had a happy hour to announced to some of our friends that Nat and Alisa just purchased a restaurant. All of our friends knew that it's our dream to open our own restaurant.
...and so it begins
That night we "brainstormed" and started a work crew. We created an online workflow where I (Marisa) send an email everyday and update the calender. Yes, I turned into the project manager. The email would contain a funny summary of the night before, news update on Chon Som, and goals for the day. We gutted everything from inside to the outside in the course of 2.5 months. By the end of the renovation period, we had a workcrew of over 60+ volunteers. Chon Som is special because it's really built with love. Everyone is a part of it.
This past week, August 21, 2006, we had our soft opening. The week went by smoothly. The food is awesome, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the energy is high.
Thanks to our friends for making our dreams come true. Without your support, Chon Som wouldn't be this beautiful! Below is just a very small segment of the renovation pictures.
