To our dear Curbside community, The KitchenTown

To our dear Curbside community,

The KitchenTown Café has been an important community gathering spot for several years, and when COVID hit, we knew the shutdown couldn’t be permanent. So we took a second, regrouped, and launched Curbside: a way for us to keep connecting with you, and to help you connect to some of the local food startups, chefs, and bakers that we most admire.

But KitchenTown’s mission is to help impact-driven founders launch, grow, and thrive. We’re a small team, and to do our best work, it’s time for us to refocus on what we do best. For now, we’ll leave the takeout operations to the experts.

Today, we have bittersweet news to share: KitchenTown Curbside is winding down. Beginning this week, food pickup and the coffee counter will only be open on Saturdays. In a few weeks, Saturdays will close, too – Oct 10th will be our last day.

We’re not closed yet, so take the next couple of weeks to stock up: our full menu is online, including every variation of your favorites. Choose between smoked gouda and Gruyère mac and cheese, BBQ or Harissa-roasted chicken, braised lamb shank or duck legs, Jamaican patties or Mayan tamales.

In the next couple of weeks, we’ll be sharing ways to keep enjoying meals and treats from our makers, so stay tuned.

For now, we just wanted to take a second for a big THANK YOU. Curbside was a big experiment, and you believed in us in a big way. We had such fun getting to chat with you in person every weekend. At a time when gathering is dangerous, we’re thankful to have had a safe way to keep the community flowing.

See you at Curbside pickup for three more weekends (remember: Saturday only).

With 7 kids among them, Erin & Cameron have no need for a consumer tasting panel. Everyone gets a cookie: each kid, all their friends, and every teacher. While the transition from close friends to business partners can be a big leap, the dynamic duo’s strengths complement each other as well as chocolate and cookie dough. Link in bio to hear about their dry ice science experiments, where they found mentorship, and how these cookies advance cancer research.

Imagine having a top chef cook meals for you on a regular basis. Imagine you can tell that chef exactly what you're craving and any restrictions you have, and they'd design entrées and accompaniments made to suit you exactly. Imagine these meals can be delivered to your doorstep twice a week.

No need to just imagine! Chef Eric, the mastermind behind KitchenTown Curbside, has cooked alongside some of the best chefs in the Bay (including Michael Mina and Traci Des Jardins). He was Executive Chef of @thecommissarysf and Chef de Cuisine of Michelin-starred @maderarestaurant.

Our first in-person event since the beginning of the pandemic! A million thanks to these wonderful Executive MBA @santaclarauniversity students, who teamed up with our startup community to think through pivots, business plans, branding, analytics, and so much more. (And stay tuned - perhaps this is the cover of our next music album?)
