This week marks the first anniversary of Fresh Market Kitchen being open in Selkirk, Ontario. What a year it has been! After months of hard work and determination, Caveman Rob and Chef Casey transformed what was once a hardware store and then a motorcycle shop into a beautiful and welcoming open kitchen. One could never have predicted that when Fresh Market Kitchen opened March 23, 2020, it would be in the midst of the chaos of a global pandemic. To commemorate this momentous occasion, the Fresh Market Kitchen family is extremely proud to have a re-do and OFFICIALLY open our Market Kitchen to all of you and serve some cake and cappuccino. Indeed we do realize a ribbon-cutting ceremony is something normally reserved for a grand opening, but surviving the first year in any food business is challenging enough…try opening during a global pandemic! As such, we are going to take the opportunity this Saturday, March 27th to officially greet and welcome all of you (Covid-style of course please) into our kitchen, the way we had originally intended. We look forward to introducing ourselves to you and, most importantly, thank you personally for keeping our spirits up and allowing us to do what we love the most every day for the past year.
Aside from the two weeks Fresh Market Kitchen took a break for two weeks over Christmas, were you aware Chef Casey has designed a new menu every single week for the past 52 weeks, creating over 410 different menu items. We look forward to many, many more this year. No matter what has changed over the year through restrictions and constant changes related to the pandemic, the one thing that has remained constant at Fresh Market Kitchen is our commitment to producing quality meals made from scratch with zero food waste. We have explored many cuisines from around the world over this past year and reinvented some classic comfort dishes, and we hope you have enjoyed every one you have tried! We will continue to push even harder this year to always provide you with exciting and varied seasonal dishes, Family Style With Style, the Fresh Market Kitchen way!
