Heels in the Kitchen and Chef Benedict Enter the #WorkLunch Business

Heels in the Kitchen and Chef Benedict Enter the #WorkLunch Business

Posted by Folayemi A on Feb. 21, 2018

FOLLY: Some of our faves are expanding into the lunch delivery space and we’re excited. This is important because usually Chef Imoteda and Benedict’s meals usually come with a hefty price tag so I personally love that they are doing this to make their food more accessible. 

NOSA: Imoteda has done this in the past, but I don't think it worked out as planned. Benedict, on the other hand, is giving this #WorkLunch thing a go for the first time. I wonder if this is the start of a larger trend for Lagos chefs. Maybe we'll get a Chef Fregz lunch service in the near future.

FOLLY: Unlikely but we can wish.  

NOSA: To me, it feels like the logical step before opening up a physical location in Lagos. Private dining is great, but daily lunches are fantastic for cash flow. 

Pasta delivery service starting up soon. From our lovely tripe ragu to the classic beef ragu Handmade fresh pesto to a normal fresh tomato and basil sauce There is something for everyone Ham and cream to a creamy sausage and leeks sauce #comingsoon #lagos #nigeria

NOSA: The best part of this is that both chefs are keeping their menus very accessible. Benedict, in particular, seems to be keeping things strictly with pasta.

FOLLY: It’s such a good idea for streamlining logistics which is where most businesses struggle. Ps. I can personally vouch for Benedict’s pesto pasta. 

NOSA: Smart move because #WorkLunch is whole different kettle of fish. I might be able experiment with weekend dinners and whatnot, but my regular lunches don't stray too far from the staples. A quick scan around my office suggests that other people do the same thing. 

Hey guys! Remember what I said about resilience being my super power and not knowing how to quit? Yea that! So we tried the delivery service last year but the distance of our office and logistics issues made it hard to pull off. Now we’re back and we’ve joined forces with @strangerlagos to bring our services closer and make it more convenient for both you and us. On Monday- Thursday 10am-4pm and Fridays 9am-1pm, we have our lunch menu available for pick up, walk in or delivery. In addition the Stranger Cafe will be serving up drinks, coffee and teas (THEY HAVE MATCHA YALL!). So call 08188689274 or email info@hitkitchen.com to place an order. We start Wednesday the 21st! Looking forward to serving you all! #hitk #delivery #lunchmenu #officelunch #heelsinthekitchen #stranger

 FOLLY: For Heels in the Kitchen menu, my recommendation is the Stout Molasses Ribs. Food aside, I do hope they have the logistics of delivery sorted to a T because having delicious food is only a fraction of the work.
