Chop Chop Kitchen Co-op 

Launch Postponed

We are still in need of help to build a community kitchen co-op (Chop Chop) and restaurant (Beyond the Bull) for food makers who believe as I do that anti-aging gastronomy is the antidote to age related chronic disease.  However, due to commitments and other unforeseen events, we are going to have to postpone the crowdfunding campaign for a couple of months.  I will keep you informed as to the rest of the project and when the time is right, relaunch the campaign to raise the funds needed to equip the kitchen.  That is, unless one or more of you decide that you would like to invest in a partnership or share in the profits of this sure to succeed venture.   

10 reasons to invest today

 True healthcare reform starts in the kitchen.  Anti-aging food is alkaline forming and therefore promotes wellness.  If inflammation is really the cause of chronic disease such as diabetes II, then Chop Chop Kitchen and its sister restaurant, Beyond the Bull (BTB) is the first step to healing America’s health and healthcare.

Anderson, SC needs jobs and Chop Chop Kitchen Co-op will produce 15 to 20 jobs immediately in the restaurant and 50 to 100 long term with phase 2, the manufacture and distribution of Food From The Farmacy specialty sauces created in the co-op kitchen and restaurant.

Supporting  SC food-makers and entrepreneurialism creates small business.  There is nowhere for a food maker with a great idea to get started without a commercial kitchen.  There is no funding for startup operations in food service.  This kitchen co-op will provide the commercial space for production and an office and mentor to help them get started whether it is a caterer, baker, ice cream maker, candy shop, food truck, specialty food manufacturer or event organizer.  More businesses means more jobs!

Everyone needs camaraderie and a place to hang out.  This will be it for food makers in the golden corner of South Carolina.

We all have a need to feel like we are part of something larger, something of importance, something in which we can make a difference.   The something larger in this instance is supporting a community of food makers, artisans and small business entrepreneurs who share in one passion---food. 

The Anderson community, family and friends need somewhere to eat out that offers an alternative to hamburgers, deep fried foods, pasta and barbecue.  The restaurant will serve anti aging gastronomy, no added sugar, no refined flour and emphasis on alkaline producing fresh, local ingredients.

For the sake of the next generation, we need to change the American palate and the American plate.  This is the first tiny step for the sake of your kids.

The location we have chosen is available now.   The space on Rte. 81, in Anderson, near the AnMed hospital system campus was previously occupied by a restaurant, the  interior needs no major improvements, the kitchen is large and there is an outside patio perfect for the garden.

If we succeed, doesn't that mean that you have a chance as well?

Cool stuff---in exchange for your pledge you get tickets for tastings, entrance to food markets, unlimited use of the kitchen, cooking classes, and more.

Here's one more---return on investment.  Better than real estate or financial institutions.
