Chef Shack is a local business that provides a kitchen and space for small businesses to sell out of. The model seems really positive and allows for more local businesses to flourish and gain traction. I've had a lot of fun trying out businesses like Coucou Bakehouse, Blacklist Bagel, Thistle Baking Co, and Slutty Buns. The hours are usually posted by the business hosting the pop up so be sure to check online before trying to go over. The space itself is very small with just a handful of tables and seating. Some of the popups like Coucou can see waits up to an hour ahead of the scheduled open time. I definitely recommend stopping by and trying out a new business. read more

I got to experience chef shack for a slutty buns pop up and was really impressed with the space and the business model. The location is right in cherry street lake drive district and has both a lot behind and street parking. The building itself offers a small area for patrons and a large kitchen area in the back. I love that it's customized for each vendor who comes in and sells. Slutty buns themselves were incredible and their viral following is backed by their delicious cinnamon rolls and treats. Definitely worth checking them out as well as the other pop ups at chef shack! read more
