Owner Nicholas Lee is originally from Honolulu and now slings Loco Moco, kalbi short ribs, chicken katsu and more in the Mile High.
Nicholas Lee, owner of the Flippin Birdz food truck, is originally from Honolulu and grew up enjoying the beaches, water and laid-back lifestyle of the Hawaiian islands. As a teenager, he quickly discovered that if he wanted money to spend, he needed a job."My family is in the restaurant business in Hawaii, so my first job was washing dishes," he says."I was like fifteen, just trying to make money and pay for car insurance and stuff.
He arrived in Colorado about three years ago and began developing his mobile food business."I knew that there were already a lot of concepts doing stuff like tacos and burgers and other things. I had eaten at a few Hawaiian places here and I knew it needed something more. I felt like some of my ideas and creativity with food would fit well in this city, so I just decided to just try it," he recalls.
The Flippin Birdz menu includes many Hawaiian staples, including one of Lee's favorite childhood comfort foods, Loco Moco."It's rice, hamburger patty, egg, savory gravy, green onions and some sesame seeds on top. Take one bite of that and it'll put you out. It's amazing," he says.
