So, I was confused when I first visited United Kitchen - is it a commercial kitchen or is it a…read morestore? Well, it's both! The vendors use the kitchen to produce their artisan goods which you can also purchase at the store towards the front of the kitchen. I had some pesto this past weekend from UK and it was out of this world. My husband is still talking about it! Can't wait to try the beet pesto, yes beet pesto! Everything I've tried (best chocolate sauce, zucchini bread, home-made soup, toffee, pesto) has been perfection. Just Delicioso! They also work with the Lyons school students who make fresh coffee every morning. Stop by, you won't be disappointed. I also recently started to use the commercial kitchen to bake vegan cupcakes for a large supermarket and I have to say, these guys know how to run a commercial kitchen. They work with you, are flexible, and are very responsive to emails/calls. The space is very clean and well-stocked. The other users are friendly and don't give you "the look" when you're running a few minutes late. This is such a refreshing change from my last kitchen which reminded me a little of a dungeon, sorry. Love this concept, well done UK! You are good people!

Have been coming here over several years since they opened for the fantastic zucchini bread…read more Seriously, everyone who had a piece said it was the best zucchini bread they had ever eaten. So, I stopped by last Saturday and they are now closed on Saturdays. Only open M-F. What?? So, I made a point to get there today on a Friday afternoon. Was all set to buy multiple loaves for gifts when I was told the baker has gone "gluten free". Oh, no! The loaves are now more expensive and flat as a pancake & don't taste the same! Too bad they jumped on the GF bandwagon; by the time this latest fad fades they will be out of business :( Won't be back...

SAAGE Culinary Studio was great to host a Bridal "Cooking" Shower at. The staff was great to work…read morewith and the food was delicious. The cook did a fantastic job of demonstrating and walking everyone through the steps while also having the shower guests participate in the event. The venue was nice, they set up tables and chairs with tableclothes and flowers in the kitchen for the event. However, it was bit noisy if you were sitting at the table toward the back, but it was no problem to get up and move closer to the demonstration if you wanted. Overall this was a fantastic experience and would totally do it again!

I recently hosted a Christmas potluck at SAAGE on December 9 and used their wonderful culinary…read morestudio. The facilities were perfect for hosting such an event and I couldn't be happier with their services. The studio was in perfect condition, clean, and stocked with high-end cooking and serving wares. The room was well lit and nicely designed. Also, from the very beginning, when I first contacted SAAGE to the day of the event, the staff was very helpful and receptive to my needs. If I were to host another event, I'd definitely pick SAAGE.

Black Star Kitchen & Commissary has just started a catering business.Our thrift store in Lake Forest, IL contacted them about providing food for our grand opening. Our customers (as well as the store volumteers) tried to stay away from the savory dips and incredible, addicting chips, but the food won out. We wish they had a storefront next door to us!!!!
