If you’re selling food without ServSafe… you’re limiting your business.

Let’s be real.

Without your Food Manager Certification:
– You can’t pass inspections confidently
– You risk getting shut down or delayed
– You miss out on bigger opportunities (events, contracts, kitchens)

With ServSafe:
✔ You’re compliant
✔ You’re taken seriously
✔ You can step into real business opportunities

This isn’t just about food safety.
It’s about access.

The vendors who grow this season?
They’re the ones who are prepared.

Don’t wait until you’re turned away to get ready.

Spring is here—and if you’re serious about your food business, this is your next move. 🔥

ServSafe isn’t just a certification.
It’s the difference between operating and operating correctly.

It tells clients, inspectors, and partners:
✔ You know the standards
✔ You understand food safety at a real level
✔ You’re ready to run your business the right way

If you’re building something this season, don’t skip the foundation.

Get certified. Get compliant. Get positioned. 🚀

📅 Monday, May 4
⏰ 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
📍 Foodservice Learning Center – Minneapolis

✔ Class + Exam
✔ Renewal + Exam
✔ Exam Only

Exciting news from City Food Studio!

We are so proud of the work we've done for the last decade, providing anyone with a talent and passion for food the opportunity to pursue their small business dreams. The kitchen has been the home to dozens of start-up and growing food entrepreneurs – many of whom now serve you from farmers markets, bakeries, restaurants, and grocery shelves across the Twin Cities. To all the people who have been involved in the project from its inception – we can’t possibly tag you all but you know who you are – we are full of gratitude for sharing this journey with us.

And now City Food Studio is excited to share that ownership is transitioning from Journey Gosselin to Lachelle Cunningham. Chef Lachelle is the founder of Chelles' Kitchen, LLC and the Healthy Roots Institute, and supports new business development at Neighborhood Development Center. With her unique experience, talent, and energy, Lachelle is the perfect person to steward the kitchen for its next ten years - we look forward to cooking up new dreams with her and with you at our kitchen.
