Kun Fusion’s roving nature doesn’t dissuade the truck’s followers — at lunchtime, Werner says,
up to 50 people might wait for a quesadilla or Kyro, Werner’s tangy, Korean-influenced take on a gyro.
Werner says he gets most of his ingredients from Asian
markets in Portland, and he travels there once a week to
ensure all the food Kun Fusion uses is fresh.
If you’re wondering where the name came from,
Werner has two answers for you: “It’s confusing to have
Korean food in a burrito,” and secondly, “it’s a reference
to Domo-kun,” a well-known Japanese cartoon monster
with a wide-open mouth — the toothy, anthropomorphic
burritos, tacos and quesadillas that decorate the Kun
Fusion truck are meant to pay tribute to the character.
Werner credits local designers Nasty Works for the
food truck’s design, adding that the entire food truck
experience has been a team effort.
“It’s never been just me,” he says. “Kun Fusion
wouldn’t be the way it is without all the people who helped
make it happen.” ■
Kun Fusion Grill is open 11 am to 2 pm Tuesdays and Fridays; follow on
