Kali and Kris Kelnero sat with Strom Peterson at a table outside the Vinbero wine bar in the former Cheesemonger’s Table space in downtown Edmonds. I noticed a sign that gave me hope they’d soon be open. I circled back and was able to speak with Kali on the forward momentum of this new…
An article called “Summer Safe-cation” caught my eye and prompted thoughts about how we proceed, as warmer temperatures and blue skies encourage us to break out of the house, for a change of scenery and routine.

These commissary kitchens are sometimes known as ghost kitchens, shared kitchens or virtual kitchens with the delivery-only food brands operating within them called virtual restaurants.
