Our Unconventional Kitchen Story

Our Unconventional Kitchen Story

Repurposing a convent to prepare delicious, locally-sourced meals was just the beginning of the Unconventional Kitchen story. Serving those meals to all ages, putting every dollar back into a nonprofit mission, and continuing the cycle of reinvestment to the community...that's the heart of the Unconventional Kitchen.
