This is a networking format for the development of a
Community Supported Kitchen in the city of Chicago. Ideally, it would be the first of many. There could also be a variety of different types or styles of kitchen, to suit the temperament and tastes of the members
Mission:
Our aim is to create a setting where local/regional, season, artisanal, and organic CSA generated and supported produce and meat/dairy will be used to create a menu for service out of any variety of alternative food service settings.
This could mean a church kitchen for starters, and it might possibly utilize a fully build out commercial space as it become more established and successful. This would function mainly as a co-op, as we would like to avoid the absurd start up costs of establishing a conventional business-model restaurant.
This would also be menu-planned on a price-fixe model, to avoid the severe amount of cost and waste stream that is generated in the process of maintaining a fixed menu. We would like to accommodate and reflect the erratic and seasonal nature of traditional farming techniques and food production practices.
Products:
We will provide Nutrient dense prepared foodstuffs, either as complete meals or ala carte. We will have provisions for dining in as a loose-knit community, or obtaining food for carry out. We can also sponsor community development events for our or other related groups, associations or agencies.
This blog is set up to extend the information and networking begun on the facebook page
"Community Supported Kitchen Chicago"
