This Friday and Saturday only, Kitchen Chicago will be open to the public for holiday shopping from 11 am-5 pm. If this is the first you're hearing about Kitchen Chicago, in their own words the deal is:
We are a fully equipped, commercially licensed, shared use kitchen, allowing you to build your business with lowered risk and minimized start-up costs. However, we're much more than a working kitchen. We're a community. Kitchen Chicago aims to bring food entrepreneurs, culinary students, and all types of cooking enthusiasts together to share knowledge, experience, ideas, and creativity.
KitchenChicago is one of the most amazing coffee shops I know. The owners are super-nice and they always have amazing food. Unfortunately they shut down during the summer due to air conditioning problems and have had their store-front closed since. It's really amazing, everyone should go.
