Startups and Pop-ups The Commissary Kitchen at No More Empty Pots
Tuesday Jan 21, 2025
Tuesday Jan 21, 2025
Ok, ok, I may have been a bit greedy when seeking our guests on the show today. I’ve become quite curious on how cottage food production and pop-ups differ with rules and certifications etc. Additionally, our local food trucks and industry folks brought No More Empty Pots to my attention. We’ve had CEO Talia McGill on the show before to give us an overview of No More Empty pots. This episode also features Alisha Waugh who is the Kitchen Coordinator of No More Empty Pots’ commissary kitchen. She so kindly addressed all of my questions and I look forward to you listening to our conversation and adding new knowledge to your repertoire.
