What brought you to Mr. Lu’s?
I was working at Providence Hospice with Steven Tran when he opened
this place up in January with his wife, My Dung. My was working alone
here with a one-month-old baby, and I like them both so much that I
quit to come work here and hang out with baby Henry all day.
So you traded the dying for burgers?
It wasn’t much of a trade. I was working in the administrative
office, and now I get to see different people all day who aren’t all in
the end-of-life stage. Plus, it’s really nice working for people who
treat you like family.
You’ve found your calling being a burger waitress at a family
joint?
Not quite. I’m actually leaving in a few days to head south in
search of the sun. Maybe to New Mexico, maybe back to school. I love it
here, but it’s time for something new.
What will you miss most about your job?
Definitely the spicy blackened salmon burger, or their garden
burger, or the prawns… It’s all really good. I’m not a big burger
person, but all their burgers are really popular. I’ve kind of OD’d on
the onion rings, so I won’t be missing those much. Yeah, I’d have to
say the spicy blackened salmon burger, and Henry. That’s what I’ll miss
most about this place.
