Todd and Schefter are accustomed to multi-tasking; they got engaged the same month they opened their food truck, so they planned their wedding while slinging calzones to hungry late-night bar patrons downtown. Two and a half years later, they had to deal with building out their eatery while navigating the pandemic and shifting their food truck business to Denver neighborhoods instead of downtown streets. Delays in the initial handover of the space, which was previously half of a liquor store (the other half will become a tea shop), turned out to be a blessing, since it allowed the couple to take their time and open now instead of six months ago, when business would have been far more difficult.
