Food is a universal love language, and nowhere is that more true than in the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.<\/p>\r\n
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Month, and what better way to celebrate than with food? Two long-time partners of the RTC\u2019s are Asian restaurants \u2013 Fukuburger and Boran Thai Kitchen.<\/p>\r\n
Fukuburger serves burgers with a Japanese twist. Fukuburger\u2019s owner, Colin Fukunaga, has offered discounts and incentives in previous years to transit riders and drivers during events like the RTC\u2019s Summer Heat and Transit Worker Appreciation campaigns. And to put a pickle on top of the burger, Colin himself often rides the bus to work and all around town.<\/p>\r\n
Get to Fukuburger\u2019s Chinatown location (3429 S. Jones Blvd.) via <\/em>Route 203 \u2013 Spring Mountain<\/em><\/a> or <\/em>Route 102 \u2013 Jones<\/em><\/a> and southwest location (7365 S. Buffalo Drive) via <\/em>Route 212 \u2013 Sunset<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\r\n Boran Thai Kitchen serves traditional Thai cuisine in an intimate space in Mountain\u2019s Edge Marketplace. Try the Moo Saom Chun (crispy pork belly) to start. And if you take RTC-OnDemand to Boran, show your ride receipt for a free Thai iced tea!<\/p>\r\n Get to Boran (7815 Blue Diamond Road #105) via <\/em>Route 221 \u2013 Cactus<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>RTC-OnDemand<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\r\n
