I started a magazine to highlight my friends who run small businesses. Refettorio Harlem is a nonprofit that feeds the community two nights a week with dignity from a fully stocked kitchen with newly appointed executive Chef Kayla Phillips.
To fundraise they started Chef’s Lab to offer patrons an opportunity to enjoy the food with speakers and artists. Many of the patrons are also volunteers who serve for the regular program so they are already engaged in the community.
The food and service are the same at Chef’s Lab as they are for the Free Food program, highlighting the communal dining experience as an elevated opportunity to gather and healthy and thoughtful meal as a form of freedom.
Chef’s Lab gives folks who want to help an opportunity to see the program in action at the historic Emanuel AME Church on 119th. It’s also just a good night out.
