BCIS Spring in the City!

Gung Ho! Teamsters Mack and Nancy at BCIS

Gung Ho! Allstars Mack and Nancy at the BCIS Spring in the City event!

Last Saturday Nancy & I set up shop on Beijing City International School’s beautiful campus grounds to sling some pizza slices and spread the word about our new Shuangjing store! It was an amazing event; tons of people were about and the weather was… incredibly cooperative. I mean really. Forecast was for thunderstorms but all we got was non-stop sunshine. Amazing. There was live music, tons of games and events, Gung Ho! buddies Beijing Kids and The Hutong Kitchen were there along with many others. In all we sold nearly two hundred slices of pizza for charity!

Okay, Nancy doesn’t look super happy in the header pic which is weird because she’s basically a ray of sunshine in human form. To the utter surprise of no-one who’s ever ordered from her at Sanlitun, she rocked the stall. It turns out that in college she worked part time at a supermarket pushing samples!

BCIS is a not-for-profit day school who’s mission (should they choose to accept it) is to educate and empower students to be compassionate and inspired people, who act for the good of all and for the sustainable development of the world.

Yao Yang from Saffron’s Spring Salad

Saffron Owner/Head Chef Yao Yang

Meet Gung Ho’s Spring Celebrity Chef Yao Yang!

Yao Yang is a very busy man. Not only is he the star of hit TV show “Yao Yang in my Kitchen”, he’s also the owner and head chef of hip hutong hotspot Saffron in Wudaoying and a talented guitarist to boot! Somehow he managed to find the time to help us come up with some new items for our Spring menu including a new signature salad! In his own words:

“For the Spring salad, I just thought about the colors changing and it came to me. I used red radish and courgette flowers to give it a colorful Spring feel. It’s an Asian-fusion style salad, dressed with a red wine and soy sauce vinaigrette. I hope everyone likes it!”

Follow Yao Yang at: weibo.com/yaoyangkitchen

Moar!

Yao Yang also helped us with a new Cantonese-style BBQ sauce for our wings and a great Gourmet Pita Platter, featuring homemade hummus, pesto and duck liver pate dips! We also have a BBQ chicken pizza coming and… ribs! Mmm… ribs.

Gung Ho’s new Spring menu launches this Friday!

WAB Idol goes Gung Ho!

Ashley Cheng, winner of the 2012 WAB Idol!

Congratulations to Ashley Cheng, winner of the 2012 WAB Idol (and Gung Ho! fan), for her rendition of Adele’s “Someone Like You”

Entering it’s 7th year (!), the Western Academy of Beijing’s annual WAB Idol is a combined middle school/high school talent show completely organized by student run organization ‘Friday Night Lites”.

This year’s event was held on campus last Friday the 23rd of March, and was co-sponsored (for the second year on a row) by Gung Ho! Pizza! Maybe next year we’ll get a team together and enter!

For more information on the awesome WAB school, check out their website here. They also have a media page, so hopefully they’ll stick up Ashley’s winning performance there so we can all check it out!

Below is awesome Gung Ho! Girl Clara handing out pizzas at WAB with a couple of very well-dressed students.

Check out this awesome review of GHP: Lido courtesy of Kristen Lum!

I won’t lie. I was supposed to write a behind the scenes preview myself but hey, Kristen Lum of LumDimSum.com has done better than I ever could so I’m re-posting it. Welcome to the internet.

So take a Kristen’s Eye View of the brand spankin’ new Gung Ho! Lido HQ – all four majestically flour covered floors – from the central kitchen in the basement to the office and the Gung Ho! training center on the top floor!
