Community Through Food Means…

“Growing up food meant love, family and friendship.  When I moved to Colorado and started hostessing at The Kitchen, I realized that a lot of people focused on the environmental origins of food.  At The Kitchen, I believe that the quality of what we bring to the table is enhanced by something extra.  We do what families do:  we nurture relationships.  Today, when I’m asked what ‘community through food’ means to me, I think of our relationships with guests, purveyors and staff.”
