Tasty Hub: Giving food entrepreneurs the space to grow and collaborate
While food trucks are often owned and run by sole proprietors or small teams, it takes a village to get
them started – and even more effort to keep them in business. Enter Tasty Hub: Eureka’s new
commissary kitchen rental space designed to support multiple food entrepreneurs in one central
location, offering essential facilities, resources and networking opportunities that can help entrepreneurs
grow and thrive.
Tasty Hub, which opened on July 8 at 1935 5th Street, exemplifies the vital collaboration between
businesses in our community to support one another’s mutual success. It was born out of the challenges
owner Gabrielle Long faced in building her other successful ventures, Taste of Bim Caribbean Restaurant
& Food Truck and The Grind Café. Hurdles included lack of kitchen space and scant off-season
opportunities in the winter. Tasty Hub attempts to get around these obstacles by providing ample kitchen
and indoor dining areas for businesses who need them.
Using her intimate knowledge of food service demands, Long has crafted the following list, detailing how
food entrepreneurs, including those operating food trucks, catering and temporary restaurant
businesses, can benefit from being in Tasty Hub’s collaborative commissary kitchen.
1. Equipped Kitchen
Tasty Hub offers commercial-grade kitchen equipment, allowing food entrepreneurs to prepare and cook
their products without the need for significant investment in their own facilities.
2. Licensing and Compliance Assistance
Tasty hub assists chefs and food truck owners in navigating the regulatory landscape, helping them with
licensing and food safety compliance.
3. Networking Opportunities
Tasty hub fosters a community atmosphere where food entrepreneurs can connect, collaborate, and
share resources, creating a supportive network.
4. Cost-Effective Solutions
By offering kitchen space on a rental basis, Tasty Hub minimizes overhead costs, making it accessible for
startups and small businesses.
5. Workshops and Training
Tasty hub will use its commissary kitchen in partnership with local nonprofits and community leaders to
provide educational programs and leisure activities.
6. Local Economic Growth
By supporting food entrepreneurs, Tasty Hub contributes to local job creation and economic
development.
7. Culinary Innovation
It encourages creativity and experimentation, leading to diverse food offerings in the community.
8. Community Events
The hub will host events, markets, or pop-up shops, which can enhance community engagement and
promote local food culture.
Tasty Hub plays a vital role in empowering food entrepreneurs, offering them the tools and community
support and collaboration they need to thrive in the food industry. To learn more about Tasty Hub, visit
