    What's up guys??? Its been couple of months since I have posted anything on here. Thought I drop by and let everyone know what is currently going on in my food world. As many of you know, I launched a food truck business about 3 months ago and its doing really well. The past few months have been my "trial and error" phase that I think anyone in my position would need to go through in order to understand how this business is operated properly. The one common mistake that most people make, is that they think operating a food truck is same as a restaurant. But in reality, food truck business is a complete different ballgame. Well for one, the weather can be your best friend or your worst enemy. The trick is, you need to learn how to operate in both conditions. Which successfully, I think, I have picked up on and have learned many new things. This past few months have been very crucial time for me, because my goal was the have the food truck up and running by the beginning of 2015. What I mean by that, is have people to talk the food truck, to finish installing new and upgraded appliances, and to install a stronger generator so the truck can handle bigger volume. I remember when I first got involved with Amoo's. I remember like it was yesterday when I first walked into the kitchen saying to myself, "man this place needs a lot of work" and then I see how far it has come as of today. And that my friends, is the only reason why I know the food truck will also make a name for itself just like Amoo's did. As long as I inject that thing with the same passion and hard work like I did with Amoo's, I think it'll be just fine. Currently the food truck is being upgraded and it should be back up and running in less than 2 weeks. I'm making the menu a little bigger and adding more gourmet sandwiches and subs as well. Also, I wanted to do another private pre fixe dinner event for the members of this site. Don and I organized one few months ago and it was a huge success. Amoo's dining room was packed. So I have been asked by few members as to when we were going to do another one. And just like the last event. This one will be private, which means you can bring your own wine, beer, and spirits if you like. Here are the dates that the Amoo's dining room will be available. Don, please let me know as to which date works best. Sunday January 18, 2015 Sunday January 25, 2015 Sunday February 1, 2015 I hope all of you have a great Holiday this year and remember, EAT!!!

    I just wanted to post the link to my blog on Washington city paper's website under Young and Hungry section. The blog was published this afternoon and it covers our plans for the next few months regarding the food truck. Please take a few minutes to read about the future of this new business venture. Thanks everyone, and looking forward to see all of you in line, front of the truck, waiting to taste the best meal on wheels!! -Chef Seb

    Happy summer everyone. I just wanted to inform everyone that I am expanding my business to other areas of Nova by operating a food truck. This food truck will be an extension of Amoo's kitchen. And as many have you witnessed Amoo's progress over the past few years, you've noticed how far we have come. With all the confidence I have gained over that time, has only motivated my family and I wanting to expand. After a long thought process, I realized that opening a second location would only jeapordize the quality of food and service. Because honestly folks, lets face it, as a business owner you know you have to supervise every single aspect of your operation in order to ensure profitiblilty and growth. So what this means, is that by having a second location, your focus is subdivided. And when that happens, that's where you lose quality. I do not want that for myself nor my family. Therefore, I believe operating a food truck is a wiser and safer way to go about it. Especially, since it's mobil and we can reach areas that we have not reached. Food truck does not require the same amount of hours that's needed for a restaurant. So I am pleased to say, In about 2 weeks, Chef Seb's Gourmet Food Truck will be operating out of Arlington Va. I will announce the location via this site and facebook. Looking forward to see all of you at the Truck. Please let everyone know and thank you for all the support and love you folks have shown myself and my family. -Chef Seb

    When my family opened the doors to Amoo's, the only thing we wanted to do was to be able to run a successful restaurant and my goal was to just cook good food. Never, in my wildest dreams I thought the cooking will end up taking me to places that i never thought would be possible. But i guess its hard to tell when passion is involved. Today im contect because i had an oppertunity to write for one of DC's major news papers. Check out my culinary article on Washington City Paper's website under young and hungry section! Thank you guys for al lof your support over the past 2 years! And Don, you are the man! Can you believe it tho?? You can read the article by clicking on this link! Thanks again!

    Oright folks, Im so sorry that it took me so long to post this. With going through the Persian New Year celebrations held at Amoo's, I had very little time to sit down and type the menu and pricing for this evening. So the pre fixe dinner menu will cost at $40 per person which includes a 5 course dinner with multiple options to choose from. I thought since this event is designed for the members of dr.com and some of Amoo's loyal guests, it'd be interesting to combine some of Mr. Rockwell's favorites dishes with my own personal favorite items that I enjoy cooking on daily bases. Here are your dinner course options for this event... Starter bites: Orange Olives Orange marinated fine Olives Soup: Saffron Squash Soup Saffron steamed acorn squash soup topped off with goat cheese crumbles Or Soupe Jo Tomato garlic steamed barley and shredded chicken breast mixed with cilantro and rice noodles Appetizers: Hot Beet (Seb's Favorite) Fire roasted beet served on a bed of basil pistachio pesto and creamy goat cheese Or Kashke Bademjan (Don's Favorite) Sauteed eggplants and topped off with caramelized onions and fresh mint puree, drizzled with fermented yogurt Entrees: Sea Bass Kabob (Seb's Favorite) Jalapeno basil lime marinated wild caught Chilean sea bass, served with a side of Amoo's Saffron rice Or Lambshank with Baghali rice (Don's Favorite) Tomato and garlic braised whole lambshank served with a side of lima beans rice tossed in dill and truffle oil Or Lamb Chops Kabob (Seb's Favorite) Saffron barberry marinated New Zealand lamb chops, served with a side of Amoo's saffron rice Or Koofteh (Don's Favorite) Spiced ground beef meatball, braised in a tangy cilantro and tomato sauce, served with a side of Amoo's Saffron rice Desserts: Bastani Saffron pistachio and rose water infused ice cream Or Anar Puffs Pomegranate goat cheese stuffed cream puffs Everyone may arrive at 6 since its a private dinner event. The only reason why i asked everyone to RSVP was to have a count of exactly how many people will be attending. In order to make adjustments and to ensure correct inventory, the kitchen needs to know what kind of volumes we will be dealing with. RSVPing to the event will ensure quality of service and food. Once again, thank you for joining. Looking forward to meeting all of you in Person. Happy Norooz (Persian New Year) P.S please remeber this is a private fun dinner party... So lets not be so serious....:-) Please come as you wish and bring your funn vibes with you!!
