“The Local Crate/Food52 partnership delivers community-inspired, on-trend recipes paired with the freshest, highest quality locally-sourced ingredients,” said Frank Jackman, Local Crate’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “While national meal kit companies continue to struggle to address regional tastes, shelf life and food waste, Local Crate offers a sustainable solution, which is why Local Crate is on more retail shelves than any other meal kit company.”
Said Mike Stalbaum, Local Crate’s co-founder and chief culinary officer, “Local Crate and Food52 have partnered to delight and de-stress the holiday season with delicious recipes and the very best of local ingredients all boxed up in convenient meal kit at your favorite grocer. Our first two recipes from this partnership are simply spectacular: a delicious Spice & Salt Crusted Steak with Mashed Potatoes in a Creamy Mushroom Sauce available in the Upper Midwest and a fresh Seared Chicken Bowl with Tzatziki and Za’atar for our California Locals.”
“Community is at the center of everything we do, so partnering with like-minded Local Crate is such a natural fit for us," said Caroline Harris, SVP of partnerships and strategy at Food52. "Our hope is to inspire people to eat thoughtfully and live joyfully, so we're thrilled to extend the brilliant recipes of our home cook community to Local Crate fans."
