It's Kitchen Thyme!


So, I had the great tour of Kitchen Thyme on February 14, 2012. This wonderful culinary concept came to fruition on February 10th this year. I had to get in there to see for myself. Sometimes "dream kitchens" are just that -- a dream. We work in restaurants all our life and see all the equipment, but rarely do we get to see this type of stuff for personal use. Yes, that's right! I said, "personal use!" Kitchen Thyme is available for rent by the hour (minimum of four hours). Melissa Krumbein has innovated the idea of a Dream Kitchen and a Commercial Kitchen, all under one roof. Food trucks now have the kitchen required by law at their fingertips. Caterers can now mass-produce their creations in several ovens, at one time. As a home cook, you can now cook everything at once for the Thanksgiving meal, instead of waiting for your one oven to turnover!

So, their website's photos are not Kitchen Thyme. I took a few that day and want to share them with you!

First, the Dream Kitchen...

I didn't get very many of the commercial kitchen. Sorry. I know Melissa will set you up for a tour, though, so please give her a call. All her contact info is on her website, Kitchen Thyme. I cannot wait to see what is produced in this establishment. Such a cool idea and is great for any level of skill. Don't be intimidated! If you need a spot to host a great cocktail party, you should do it! If you want to plan any kind of an event here, you can! The possibilities are endless. Get creative and call her! Thought you could never cater because you didn't have the space? Not anymore!!!
