At La Cocina, we see this phenomenon every day. A single commercial kitchen space - a modest "start" - creates a ripple effect that transforms families, stabilizes neighborhoods, and reshapes the local economy.On May 19, we invite our supporters to an intimate dinner hosted within the Minnesota Street Project. Surrounded by contemporary art and the bold flavors of incredible chefs, we will explore the science of impact. This dinner is a celebration of metamorphosis. Join us to honor the entrepreneurs who have found their wings and the community that provides the wind beneath them.La Cocina is proud to feature extraordinary chefs from across the Bay Area whose work reflects the creativity, resilience, and innovation that define our community.Chef Heena Patel, Besharam, Host Chef & Board MemberChefs Ollie K.C.

We do this by providing affordable, shared, commercial kitchen space; industry-specific technical assistance and services; and access to market opportunities and capital.La Cocina works to solve the problems of equity in business ownership; inclusivity in the mainstream American marketplace; barriers to entry for women, people of color and immigrant business owners; and the high cost of entry in the food industry.In an increasingly expensive economy, La Cocina businesses have succeeded at a rate that far exceeds the national average, graduating 60+ entrepreneurs, launching 30 brick-and-mortar restaurants, creating hundreds of jobs, and generating $16MM+ in revenue in 2019.By the end of March 2020 in the pandemic, 70% of La Cocina-born businesses lost 100% of their revenue. As a nation, we lack the structural support systems to properly care for hourly workers and small business owners. It’s time to advocate together for immediate support and change.
