This is a story of a bunch of people from different work-fields getting together in a rented kitchen in New York who are food-entrepreneurs now after being laid-off.
The piece provided relevant details like the rent and entrepreneurs backgrounds and their view about their new profession. It served as an amazing advertisement for these businesses as well. Loved the use of the verb cratered as in "economy cratered."
I understand the article is about this new form of making money through rented kitchen for these laid-off people. But I would have liked to hear from a customer who expressed whether or not they knew if what they were ordering was made in a facility where Indian, Mexican, middle-eastern etc is all made in one space or do customers only come across the website interface.
Also, the writer hinted at the dynamics between different chefs as to how they ordered common supplies to avail of discounts and how they acted as taste-testers for each others. I would have liked an elaboration on the cultural aspect of it: how these chefs from different cultures are experiencing different food cultures and otherwise being in the same space.
Moreover, I wanted to know if these people want to stick with this system of using rented kitchen for long for whatever reasons or do they want to establish their own space in the near future because of any inconveniences etc.
Nevertheless, a well-done story of human survival in face of adversity..sounds cliche?..add a never-ending demand commodity--food-- and cultural element to it. interesting!
