Culinary Incubator Moving

The Colton Studios experiment is over as of July 30th.

The rebuilding of the Kitchen at Colton was an incredible example of individuals and organizations working to build a kitchen for local Recovery School District students for them to work with local cooks and chefs, but now it is basically over before it had a chance to start (at the Colton location).

We are moving on and hope to be up and running in our new location by the new year (and this time we will have a 2 year lease!). There is more to come on that front, with a new blog to be launched soon.

I'm dedicating the rest of the Colton Kitchen blog to the incredible volunteers that came and donated their time and energy to get New Orlean's 1st culinary incubator up and running.

To all those volunteers who gave their time, to all the companies who donated equipment, to the Krewe De Foodre members who worked week after week to make this happen, your work is an investment in the future of this program.

We all proved that we could build a kitchen and feed hundreds of people during the Jazz Fest afterparty at Colton.
Even though our time was not enough to work with the students, we will be working with local high school students in the future and continuing the program that inspired us all to do what we did with the Colton Kitchen.
