Center for Culinary Enterprises: A Recipe for Economic Development (A Penn Law VLA Production)

The Center for Culinary Enterprises of the Enterprise Center CDC of West Philadelphia enlisted the assistance of Penn Law's Entrepreneurship Legal Clinic, directed by Practice Professor Parveen Kosuri, in converting a former supermarket site at 48th and Spruce Streets into a fully-licensed community commercial kitchen, a sustainable foods café, and restaurant/school to teach community youth how to run a food-service business. A positive aspect of the kitchen, from a community economic development point of view, is that it will in turn be an incubator for other small food-related businesses, such as bakers, caterers, and product wholesalers.

Created for the Penn Law Documentaries & the Law Program.
