FEED Kitchens
Many people think of FEED Kitchens as “that food cart place,” and it is hard not to have that impression when driving by the facility on North Sherman Avenue and seeing the expanding collection of food carts and trucks filling the parking lot. While there is so much more that goes on inside of FEED Kitchens, it is true that during the “event season” in Madison, food carts reign supreme here. This year, FEED is hosting 29 mobile food vending businesses, including everything from hot dog push carts to fully equipped traveling kitchens and all types of structures in between. FEED Kitchens attracts carts to its facility because all mobile food vendors, regardless of their production model, must be based out of a commercial kitchen. FEED Kitchens is one of the few available commercial kitchen options to entrepreneurs who don’t have their own production space, typically a restaurant, out of which to work.
