Feature: Sauce and Bread Kitchen
Mike Bancroft of Co-op Sauce and Anne Kostrowski of Crumb Chicago came together in 2013 to form Sauce and Bread Kitchen (SBK) located on North Clark Street. Bancroft, founder of the youth arts education center Co-op Image, began developing sauces back in 2004 to help raise money for the nonprofit while also creating jobs for the students. Meanwhile, Kostrowski’s culinary chops came from attending the Culinary Institute of America with a specialty in bread making. And the rest is culinary history.
The duo has been committed to doing good in the community since day one. During the pandemic, SBK served hundreds of free meals to unemployed restaurant workers in the community. Patrons have described SBK as "psychedelic-culinary experience" and "down to earth foodie art."
This weekend, check out their Chesapeake Pop-up! From the eastern shores and bays comes a sampling of just a few of their favorite things foreshadowing bites of future travel. Crab Cakes, Trumpet Fritters, Asparagus & Wild Rice Salad and more!
