Welcome to The Kitchen Resistance, where food is the foundation of our collective liberation.
Food systems touch every aspect of our lives. It is ecologically and anthropologically essential for us to be aware of how, why, and where we are being fed. Kitchen Resistance is a project committed to decolonizing the status quo of food service.
We strive to step away from the profit models that create nourishment gaps in both local and the worldwide communities. Instead, we aim to find balance and diversity in funding this intention. In most cases this means payment by sliding scale, in other cases it might mean pro-bono work, and sometimes we can charge the full price of what our service is worth in order to cover the costs of those who can’t pay. This model allows us to break down income barriers which often restrict access to organic, local, and seasonal faire.
Everyone deserves to be inspired and educated as they gather to fill their bellies, not just those with money and resources. When we engage with the full spectrum of acknowledgment, grief, and gratitude, we are able to access the joy of meal sharing. When our nourishment is not built off the exploitation of others we resist the colonial project that starves us through empty excess. This is a kitchen that serves each according to their need and each according to their ability.
How it Works
-
We offer in home nourishment support, meal delivery, and small event catering. This can include traditional private chef opportunities, dinner parties, and especially community centered events. Examples might include: a multi-course finger food dinner, grab-n-go sandwiches at a community protest, or at home meal prep for your busy family life.
What stays the same is our commitment to organic ingredients and an emphasis on local and seasonal sourcing practices.
-
We are not caterers or restauranteurs looking for the next big event. We are a network of community members who are responding to a need for more cyclical food systems. We are are responding to the rising price of food and resources. Our prices are not one-size fits all but instead a sliding scale based on client income.

After receiving this basic intake form I always find it best to meet on a phone call to better understand what you are looking for. After this initial information we will practice radical transparency and discuss income, ability, and pricing. Anything is possible, so let’s talk!
