It would require use of a commercial kitchen and proper filing with the state's food agency.

Assuming they have that sorted out, it’s an interesting idea.

I agree. Any home made food service (especially niche or cultural) would be interesting. I only state the above as there are certain regulations and requirements (read: capital investment) that needs to be met for providing that level of food service safely, both for patrons and OP. If OP is cash strapped, he/she/they will need some dollars saved up to meet these requirements. here's a good place to start u/IndianTiffinElmCity : https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/License-Services-Division/All-License-Applications/Food-Licensing-and-Registration

Wasn’t there a commercial kitchen downtown that allowed others to use their facilities? I might be getting my cities mixed up, but I seem to remember something about that being talked about here within the last couple of months.

probably. There are rental options for the commercial kitchen piece of it. But there's other requirements like someone who is in charge of the food prep is required to go to and pass a certification exam. Also forming an LLC may be appropriate to limit personal liability issues should someone claim against OP. I may be paranoid about this stuff, but we are in a fairly litigious culture.

Yeah, they’d definitely have to have a ServSafe certification. I had to have one for serving liquor when I used to do wine tastings at a wine store.
