Co-Founders Christie Frazier and Shelby Coffman have been working together for almost a decade as acclaimed personal chefs and as teachers at their own cooking school. Understanding the need for commercialized kitchen space and the struggles many culinary businesses have at the start, Christie and Shelby decided to move forward with their love for cooking by starting their own kitchen incubator, The Hood Kitchen Space, here in Orange County. The Hood Kitchen Space, affectionately known as “The Hood”, is a fully licensed commercial kitchen space that caters to businesses, big or small, who are looking to reserve space based around their own schedules. This 6-kitchen facility, conveniently located near the 55, 73, and 405 freeways in Costa Mesa, offers 24/7 access to the health department certified kitchens and brand new amenities a business may need to pursue a culinary career. Whether it’s a renowned culinary professional looking to expand his business, or a self-taught entrepreneurial confectioner who knows the world ought to taste her toffee, The Hood has a space that will not only fill their needs but give the opportunity for growth that is tough to find in this economy.
