When I say, "all i wanna do is feed you," I mean it!

I’m so excited to share that I’m the newest CK Home Chef with ! Bringing together friends and family to prepare meals for our community from the comfort of my kitchen or in a community kitchen to help stock in areas where food isn’t always a given was a no-brainer.

Last week I got the opportunity to make meals for some of the beautiful people in Oakland with superstar Home Chef Melinda Drayton. We made an aromatic CowGirl Chili with cinnamon and cocoa, and it gave all the fall vibes. It was the perfect introduction to how we can all become a CK Home Chef.

Here’s the beauty of it: you don’t have to be a “chef” to make an impact. You just have to have a heart for feeding others. Imagine cooking up a special recipe that’s been in your family for years, and sharing it with folks in who could use a little extra love. Town Fridges are open to anyone who needs a meal or has something to share, and they’re emptied within 24 hours.

If you’re passionate about sharing what you can, consider becoming a CK Home Chef too! You can cook on your own schedule, and all it takes is a for and community. Sign up, get certified, and let’s make this happen.

Happy Event Organizers Day to all the incredible planners, coordinators, and creators who pour their hearts into every detail!

As someone who lives and breathes this work, I know firsthand the passion, dedication, and hustle it takes to bring visions to life. Today, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement for the magic we create—a celebration, a gathering for justice, or an experience that feeds the soul.

Thank you for putting in the work, the late nights and early mornings, and always finding a way to make it all come together. You make moments matter, and that’s a gift in itself.

Happy World Food Day, family! 🍽️🌍

At FiftySevenNorth, food is not just what we do—it’s how we connect, how we create, and how we give back.

Today, on World Food Day, we celebrate the power of food to bring people together, heal communities, and nourish the soul. Whether it's a private dinner, an amuse-bouche party, or one of our signature culinary experiences, you can’t get full if your soul isn’t fed.

Food is love, culture, and tradition. It’s how we tell our stories and honor our heritage. And in every dish we serve, we are committed to using those ingredients to foster community and uplift. 🫶🏾

As we reflect on the importance of food and those who grow, harvest, and prepare it, let's remember the power we have to make a difference—both in our kitchens and beyond. 🍴✨

Here’s to good food, great company, and creating lasting memories. All I Wanna Do Is Feed You—mind, body, and soul.

🍴 Stay flava-full,

Chef Satia & The FiftySevenNorth Team
