Drake Neighborhood Notebook doing my work for me. Nice summary of what’s going on here.
SALUTE TO POP UP EATS AT KITCHEN SPACES ON NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS DAY
From our neighbors at Precision by Nutrition:
Some of our favorite people, our Kitchen Spaces family!
Kitchen Spaces is such a unique place. A rental kitchen, allowing small restaurants operate and get started! The community is so tight, everyone helps each other, gives each other ideas, and it feels like family! We’re so glad to be here!
All of these guys work to hard to chase their dreams, are some of the kindest people we know, and have delicious menu items!
Lady Jerk soul food. The JERK BOSS. To us, she’s “Mama Jerk” - Her and her family - Precious, Caleb, & more are great people and have great food! Find them at Kitchen Spaces Thursday through Saturday! 🍖
Estilo Boricua - A great family from Puerto Rico, serving authentic Puerto Rican style food! We love the empanadas! 🇵🇷 You can find her Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
A Taste Of Nawlinz - Trina is a sweet lady from New Orleans ⚜️, & she brings a taste of it here with her to DSM! Serving full, homemade crab boils right out of Kitchen Spaces, you can find her some Saturdays! Find her on Facebook! 🦐
G.'s Chicken & Waffless - GG! & Fam! GG was at Kitchen Spaces when we started. He’s always called me the kitchen’s mascot 😂 GG’s is a chicken & waffles company, but way more. They are very faith-based, they do a ton of philanthropy, and are overall incredible people. Their chicken is legit too! We would highly recommend them, they do a lot of pop-ups at Kitchen Spaces, as well as a ton of catering! 🧇
Cie Cie’s Sweet Treeats - Cie Cie and her family are again, great people! We run into the Cie Cie team after long meal-prep days on Saturdays, when they’re starting their Saturday night service! They offer a late night restaurant & service to the Drake area, most Saturday nights! Check out their Facebook for more info, menus, schedule, etc! 🍰
Strudl Haus - Michael at Strudl Haus is a great guy with a VERY interesting life! He owns a coffee shop cafe in the Dominican Republic, as well as a high scale restaurant in Austria. But, during DSM Market season he comes to serve pastries
