Our Story.... Really
Additional Information
the beginning... Our story starts on a typical day for me, a long day, making great pizzas, pastas, wings, salads and more for the people of Sherman Oaks. This particular day though ended very late and I decided to make myself a Large Hawaiian pizza to take with me to the Beach and a short boat ride in my dinghy.
It was dark, late and I was really tired, too tired to remember to bring gas! Soon my tank was dry. Drifting away from shore I had to break out a paddle. I paddled for hours, I paddled until daybreak. Exhausted I took a break and to my amazement saw what looked like a pod of Dolphins swimming in my direction. As they came closer I could see among the dolphins was a dark skinned man with long dreads and tattoos swimming. With a rope he was pulling a cow, some pigs along with floating boxes which looked like supplies. The man swam up to me, I asked if he could help me. He replied, “I Mon”. I jumped on his back, held on to his dreads and he swam.
To my panic he wasn’t swimming to shore, he was taking me out to sea! I yelled, “please take me to land!” Every time he would reply, “I Mon”. He swam and swam, there was no stopping him!
Finally, he brought us to a very small deserted Island, clearly too small to be charted. Once on shore I collapsed from exhaustion, the last thing I heard was this mysterious man saying, “I Mon”.
I awoke to the smell of the most wonderful mix of herbs, spices and BBQ meat cooking. The man handed me a plate... ” I Mon, he said”. A man with few words for sure, up to that point that's the only thing he uttered to me. "I Mon." The food was absolutely the best BBQ food I have ever had. I was so grateful, I wanted to give something back. I had held on to the Hawaiian pizza I had made and ran to get it for him. He warmed it up over his fire, took a bite and with a big smile he said, “ I Mon, this is great Pizza! Even as leftovers, I think we must be Food Brothers!”
I told him that from now on I will call him, I'Mon, my Food Brother. We stayed on his Island for days. We talked, I 'Mon cooked his amazing BBQ with a slight Island flavor. I knew Sherman Oaks was still getting great Pizza from Leaning Tower (I have a great staff), but thought they would also love great BBQ too. I presented the idea of him coming back with me, using my amazing pizza to seal the deal, I'Mon agreed and together we returned. I keep making amazing pizza at Leaning Tower and I'Mon making his great BBQ. I'Mon fell in love with Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Van Nuys and all areas within a 3 mi. radius, and Mo’Dish BBQ Delivery was born. I am sure the first time you taste I’Mon’s amazing BBQ you will be ordering again and again, its just Mo' Better... Curt Schultz, the owner.
