Philosophy of Service

Serving our community means more than serving food. We support local businesses, education and nonprofit organizations working to build a stronger Kansas City.

Supporting local
farmers and businesses

Our story began at a local farmers market. We continue that spirit by working with local farmers, makers and small businesses whenever possible.

Encouraging Education

We partner with schools and community organizations through educational workshops, cultural presentations, mentorships, and support for local student activities.

Inspiring
Future Chefs

Education is often the key to a brighter future in all communities. From culinary workshops and mentorships to cultural presentations, we find ways to partner with local organizations and institutions to encourage education among all ages.

Promoting healthy lifestyles

We have partnered with the Latino Medical Student Association at the KU School of Medicine to fundraise for JUNTOS, a local organization that works to reduce health disparities within Latino communities in the state of Kansas and the Kansas City Metropolitan area and promote healthy lifestyles through research, education & service. Every year, we host a series of events to build awareness and contribute to the cause.

Fighting local hunger

Everyone deserves a good meal. We support hunger-relief organizations, including local food pantries like Harvesters and Christian Ministries, that provide food and essential resources throughout the Kansas City region.
