Our Team

We seek to live out our values in everything we do: collaboration, cross-cultural understanding, and community building.

We believe that food is a vital aspect of community building. We envision a place that is actively engaged in the celebration of art and history of our local community. We're seeking to partner with individuals, groups, and organizations who want to make a positive impact.
