The Kitchen's mission is to strengthen communities by bringing local, real food to everyone.
Kitchens are so important. They're the heart of everything.
Almost every culture has its own variation on chicken soup, and rightly so - it's one of the most gratifying dishes on the face of the Earth.
Local and regional food systems are about opportunity.
I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.
Cooking is like music: you can tell when someone puts love into it. I come from a place where there was so much attention to detail. The population is smaller in the South, so more attention is given to serving smaller numbers of people.
Soups are a great way to introduce a lot of vegetables to kids. Stir-fries, too, because they contain so many different shapes and colors.
