Curbside Kitchen is also available to cater events, and recently catered a local roundtable meeting for Richmond Mayor, Tom Butt. A separate catering menu available, but the brothers are willing to work with clients to customize menu offerings for their events. Catering can be done directly from the truck which can be brought onsite for an event; alternatively, large batches of food can be prepared and set up buffet style on location. Those interested in exploring catering options with Curbside Kitchen should contact Raynard at 628-400-3840. These two young brothers are a dynamic duo who have wonderful business acumen and a keen desire to serve the community where they were raised and which they love. They are among a group of community leaders and associations that have joined together to introduce “The Food Emporium,” Richmond’s very own version of “Off the Grid,” where food trucks, musicians, and artists come together to create a family-friendly community event. Spearheaded by community leader, Cesar Zepeda, the first Food Emporium launched in October 2016, and the next event will be held April 30th at Hilltop Lake Park. This will be a great opportunity to go and check out Curbside Kitchen and enjoy an afternoon of fun, enjoyment, and most importantly, good food! You’re sure to see more of these young businessmen as Curbside Kitchen continues to gain more exposure and grows in popularity. And within the next few years, Russell and Raymond may launch a second food truck, offering a different, but equally enticing, type of menu. Their long term (5 year) plan includes opening a brick and mortar restaurant within the local area. Raynard’s and Russell’s drive and enthusiasm, and willingness to work hard to make their dreams a reality, are admirable qualities that are rare in today’s world. I encourage you to seek out Curbside Kitchen to try some great Filipino-inspired gourmet food, and to support this local small business.
