Subscription-based meal kits hit retail shelves

Local Crate California Korean Fried Chicken Kit
June 8, 2018

Local Crate, Minneapolis, launched its locally sourced, subscription-based meal kits in 200-plus retail stores in California and Minnesota.

“Local Crate works with award-winning local chefs, local farmers and local makers in each growing region to create inspired recipes with the freshest ingredients,” says Frank Jackman, co-founder and CEO. “Consumers deserve to know the story behind who is making and growing their food. With Local Crate, you don’t have to trade off integrity for convenience.”

“Local Crate is honored to partner with regional chefs and growers. Our culinary team worked closely with chefs Tim McKee and Yia Vang in the Upper Midwest and chefs Deuki Hong and Daniel Tellez in Northern California to deliver regional flavors in this batch of deliciously, seasonal meal kits,” adds Mike Stalbaum, co-founder and chief culinary officer.                                                                                                     

The new retail meals are as follows: (in California) Chipotle Chicken with Mexican Street Corn and Cilantro-Lime Rice, Mozzarella Chicken with Bruschetta and Roasted Parmesan Potatoes, Bibimbap, Korean Fried Chicken with Sweet Gochujang Sauce and Carne Asada Tacos with Poblano Crema. (In Minnesota) Char Siu Chicken Tacos with Sesame Slaw, Carne Asada Bowl with Chimichurri and Grilled Zucchini, Spanish Steak Skewers with Saffron Rice and Yogurt Sauce, Roasted Chicken Shawarma Bowl with Tzatziki and Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes.

Local Crate meal kits are sold in more than 200 California and Minnesota Target stores.
