Our Team

I have a passion for food, and I care deeply about the future of my city. As a Knoxville native who lived away for many years, I've seen the potential that shared kitchen spaces have to shift economic power, elevate new voices and contribute to a thriving food economy. Shared Kitchens have a critical role to play in the future of the food industry.

Real Good Kitchen from the Start

We formed our business in 2018. But before that we had to learn more about shared kitchens and incubators and figure out what Knoxville needs

First, we had to visit a bunch of kitchens

Bailey spent all of 2017 and much of 2018 learning as much as she could about shared commercial kitchens and culinary incubators and visiting a lot of them.

La Cocina in San Francisco is one of our original inspirations

We debuted our idea at Startup Day 2018...

We debuted Real Good Kitchen in September 2018 at Knoxville's Startup Day. We didn't win the money, but it gave us the momentum we needed to keep moving forward.

We created the first design for the space in October 2018
