Ever wonder what it takes to keep the kitchen running at MoCo's Founding Farmers? β¨
Bethesda Magazine & Bethesda Beat went behind the scenes with our very own Chef Caitlin Mateo β and let's just say, her day likely starts long before yours does. π We're talking a 3:45 a.m. wake-up, a gym session, and a 70-minute drive before the first waffle hits the press.
And that Fried Chicken & Waffle you love? Chef Caitlin breaks it down, from the chicken brined for a full day and dredged up to 25 times in our specialty flour blend, to the crispy, fluffy waffle she personally calls her favorite comfort food. π§π
We're so proud of Chef Caitlin and grateful to Bethesda Magazine for telling her story. Give it a read: https://bit.ly/3RA1zbu
