Through The Migrant Kitchen, The Ballfields Cafe, JD Meals, and Migrant Kitchen Initiative, we’ve served thousands of meals to tennis fans, shelter residents, office workers, and those in need, all in one day! We’re honored to bring the same chef-crafted meals to everyone’s tables, no matter where they receive them.

Thank you for supporting our mission. We love sharing our recipes with YOU! 💙🩷🧡

Our goal is to donate 250 meals through The Migrant Kitchen Initiative, with a portion of proceeds from each purchase going to feeding New Yorkers in need. 💙

Since 2020, The Migrant Kitchen Initiative has provided more than 4 million meals, proving that when we come together, we can build stronger communities for everyone.

As a company founded by immigrants and inspired by the many cultures that make New York City extraordinary, we believe America’s story is one of the people who come here seeking a better future for themselves and their families.

We’re honoring this spirit as we look ahead to the next 250 years and celebrate the communities, traditions, and diversity that continue to shape our nation.

Happy Fourth of July from our family to yours!

Happy Father’s Day!
We believe every dad deserves to feel seen and valued, which is why we are proud to provide special Father’s Day meals to dads currently staying in NYC shelters.
And thanks to you, we will be able to include handmade Father’s Day cards with every meal!
Thank you all for your work on these beautiful cards at our UWS location this past month. They will bring a lot of joy to those who need it most.
