Hot Bread Kitchen Behind The Scenes
On March 3rd 2011, Hot Bread Kitchen celebrated the opening of our new bakery training facility by hosting Hot Bread Kitchen Behind the Scenes. With nearly 300 people in attendance, Behind the Scenes was an extremely successful event, taking guests Behind the Scenes of our operations. The night featured food from Joseph Leonard, Boulud Sud, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Saxelby Cheesemongers, Screme Gelato, and baking demonstrations led by Daniel Boulud and Hot Bread Kitchen bakers.
So You Want to Start a Food Business?
This past Sunday June 12th, Hot Bread Kitchen hosted a seminar for food entrepreneurs at La Marqueta. Close to 50 culinary entrepreneurs attended the half day seminar which included a panel discussion and round table series.
Foodie entrepreneurs such as: Anne Saxelby from Saxelby Cheesemongers, Dan Cohen from Danny Macaroons, Lerida Mojica from NY Cake Pops, Rhys Powell from Red Rabbit and Rick Field from Rick’s Picks shared how they launched and grew their businesses.
After the panel, attendees then joined one of five roundtables on topics critical to successfully launching their food concept, from calculating cost of goods to the use of social media. Roundtables were facilitated by: Michelle Bhattacharyya from NYC Business Solutions, Elizabeth Bueno from ACCION, Marcus Browne and Ronald de la Cruz from Project Enteprise, Rafael Merino from East Harlem Business Capital Corporation and Christina Zeigler from HBK Incubates.
What people had to say about the “So You Want to Start a Food Business Panel”:
“Today has inspired me to take my business to the next level.”
“I was able to get all my questions answered.”
“What a confidence booster! Others have done it, I can do it too.”
Hot Bread Kitchen would like to thank all the entrepreneurs, panelists and roundtable facilitators who helped to make this event a success. For more information about our incubation program, please visit the HBK Incubates website.
