Media: As Kitchen 66 turns 10, meet 6 of its graduates

For three consecutive years, Mother Road Market has earned the national title of “Best Food Hall” in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Visitors can count on the vibrant venue at 1124 S. Lewis Ave. to offer a variety of dining options, making it a reliable choice for locals and tourists alike looking for a way to satisfy opinionated eaters.

Brian Paschal, president and CEO of the food hall’s operating nonprofit — the Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation — has no problem identifying what might be the secret sauce behind Mother Road Market’s success.

“I really do believe that is in large part possible because of Kitchen 66, and because of our commercial kitchen,” he explains.

While other food halls around the United States grapple with troubling turnover rates that can be off-putting to potential customers, Paschal credits K66 — a multifaceted food-focused business incubator program — for creating a built-in, mutually beneficial avenue that keeps Mother Road Market vendor booths booked and busy.

Thanks to K66, Paschal says if Mother Road Market has an opening, “there’s half a dozen to 10 restaurant concepts that are actively wanting to be in here.”
