“That’s when we put pen to paper and really started our business plan.”Īfter extensive planning and constant communication with a double-decker bus dealer based out of Liverpool, the Orrs said their double-decker bus successfully made the over 3,000 mile journey across the Atlantic and was brought ashore in New York in April 2022. “Food trucks (were) surviving, outdoor trucks (were) surviving and we got to revisit the double-decker idea,” Miriam Orr said. The Orrs said they put the idea on the back burner for a couple of years during the COVID-19 pandemic until food trucks and outdoor dining started becoming popular alternatives to eating at restaurants. “A lightbulb went off and we thought, ‘What would stop us from putting a full-blown kitchen in one of those?’” “My mom thought, ‘Aw (the double-decker coffee shop) was so cute,’ so she sent us the picture,” Aaron Orr said. Orr got the inspiration for the name of his business from the year the first engine-powered double decker bus was released in London - 1923. (I‘ve been) going for 2 months.”Īaron Orr told The Daily the idea for 1923 started when his mom spotted a London-themed double-decker coffee shop on a trip to North Carolina. “I like this dish (with) pulled jerk chicken, grilled pineapple, cilantro, cheese and mango salsa, and served with a lime crema drizzle,” Karl said. In an interview with The Michigan Daily, Ann Arbor resident Dave Karl said he has visited 1923 a couple of times and named the Caribbean Queen - a flavorful mashup of spicy chicken and tangy fruit - as his favorite item on the menu. The menu boasts a variety of flavors, with culinary influences from the American South, Caribbean, Middle East and Korea - all made on a Liverpool classic, red, double-decker tour bus parked at 320 Miller Avenue, just northwest of downtown Ann Arbor.ġ923 serves tacos for lunch and rolled ice cream for dessert, both of which have already been a big hit within the Ann Arbor community. Nicknamed the “bustaurant,” 1923 is owned by husband and wife Aaron and Miriam Orr and serves up modern, gluten-free fusion tacos. If you want to enjoy a meal on an authentic London double-decker bus without crossing the pond, 1923 is the place for you.
