The Krewe De Foudre ... Love at 1st Sight

The "Krewe De Foudre" is the Colton Kitchen incubator crew.

In French, "coup de foudre" means struck by lightning, as in love at 1st sight.

Love at 1st sight is anything BUT what happens to a person who sees this kitchen for the 1st time... but we have hope.

Everyone must give at least 20 hours to rebuilding the kitchen in exchange for Krewe De Foudre membership and the opportunity to use the incubator kitchen once it is finished. All members are culinary professionals and are putting in this time after work and on their days off. They have also committed to working for the "Family Meal" culinary program.


This week the Krewe De Foodre got together for our 1st sit down meeting.

Everyone got to meet each other (there are 14 members) and discuss what work and equipment the kitchen needs (a lot, in both regards).

We will be making Colton-school-shaped gingerbread cookies to raise money for the kitchen equipment.

Everyone was asked to search out sponsorships, grants, and to pull any connections they have in order to get this kitchen up and running.

This kitchen needs A LOT of work and equipment to get it up to code, but we are all blue collar cooks 100% invested and committed to making it happen.
