What is slow food??

Just like with Natural Wine, we told you in our core values statement (number eight) that we intend to "improve our environment over time". Well, slow food is another way we think we can make that actually happen.

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization, founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast moving life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us. Simply stated, we think the pleasure of food is linked with a commitment to community and the environment.

This stuff is super cool. It basically eliminates the expectation of "fast food" because, food that is made with love tastes better! Everything at Hidden Kitchen, from the waffles to the tortillas, to the sauces and the smoothies, are freshly made to order. We are talking SLOW food. We pour so much love into making sure that we are providing you with ingredients that are clean, that will help your stomach feel good, for a long time!

That being said, wait times can get longer than other restaurants you may have dined with. This can be the case especially in our Cambria location - our kitchen is only 100 sq ft - and we cook everything from start to finish in there! It's pretty amazing actually.

We promise you we are working as quickly as humanly possible to make your food, at high quality. with the ingredients that are sourced with love. Thank you for your patience!

As far as wait times go, we do our very best to keep times as manageable as possible. Once you've ordered your food, our average wait times range between 10-35 minutes. It's taken time to get these wait times down but we have been training hard given we make up to 500 plates in 6 hours!
