Why Mai Thai Kitchen Is Leaving Lubbock After Building Loyal Fans

Mai Thai Kitchen, a food truck that has a very loyal following and tons of buzz, is calling it quits here in Lubbock. The last day of service will be Friday, September 11th, or when the truck's inventory runs out (I have a feeling the latter will happen first).

Why Mai Thai Kitchen Is Closing In Lubbock

According to a social media post from Mai Thai Kitchen, the truck has decided to wrap things up because the chef (truly the heart and soul of any food establishment) has a new opportunity: "Our chef has received an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime career offer that we simply couldn’t pass up, which means our family will be moving on to a new chapter."

Fans Respond To Mai Thai Kitchen's Closing

Many loyal fans left comments on the post, thanking Mai Thai for the incredible food, friendship and vibes. Others took it a step further, demanding to know where the Mai Thai family would end up next:

Wait what?!?! Nooooooooooo!!! We are moving with y’all. where do I need to send coolers to so we can still get our fix?

No seriously, congratulations on the offer.
