High Road Kitchens funds restaurants to provide low-cost food and re-employ staff.
in West Adams, serving a takeout menu that includes a High Road Kitchens sliding-scale payment option for customers. , Andrea Borgen’s downtown Argentine restaurant, are the first two restaurants in Los Angeles to participate. Another 11 in Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose, San Diego, Monterey and Sacramento are also implementing the program.
Under the terms of the program, High Road Kitchens gives restaurants an initial grant. In turn, the restaurants agree to join One Fair Wage within five years; implement its race, gender and equity programs; serve a minimum of 500 free meals; and follow through with the scaled payment model. How the individual restaurants do that is left up to them, but High Road Kitchens offers support with implementing the program.
Hours before the doors to the restaurant opened, Alta Adams executive chef Keith Corbin, chef de cuisine Gwen Etta and Patterson — all three gloved and masked — packed boxes with the braised beef, collards, red beans and rice that comprised the first High Road Kitchens menu offering, called “family meal.” The closed-off dining room was stacked with a jigsaw of empty chairs. Patterson dropped chicken in the fryer, then tasted it.
The 13 California restaurants are the first phase of the program; organizers hope to launch in New York City, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Michigan next. “The world has changed and it’s not going to change back,” Patterson said. “Something will come back — but it’s up to us to decide what that is.”
