What else should we know about how you took your side hustle and scaled it up into what it is today?
Yes, my side hustle evolved into my main career, shaping the journey of Sumthin Different Kitchen carries a special touch as my husband and I discovered a shared dream. What began as a culinary passion project became a joint venture, deepening our connection and commitment. Together, we navigated the milestones, blending our individual strengths to shape a culinary haven that reflects our shared vision and love for innovative cuisine. The initial step was experimenting with recipes, gaining feedback from friends and family. As the positive responses poured in, I saw the potential for something more.
The first milestone was establishing a small pop-up presence at local events, introducing our unique flavors to a broader audience. The positive reception fueled our ambition, leading to the opening of a dedicated kitchen space. Key milestones included expanding our menu, fine-tuning operations, and fostering a loyal customer base through word of mouth.
As demand grew, we strategically and branched into a full catering company. Each step, from a pop-up restaurant, represented a commitment to culinary excellence and a response to the enthusiastic support of our patrons.
The journey wasn’t without challenges, but overcoming them strengthened our resolve. Today, Sumthin Different Kitchen stands as a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and a commitment to offering something truly distinct in the culinary landscape.

The story of meeting my business partner, who also happens to be my husband, is a tale of serendipity. Our paths crossed in a culinary class, where our shared love for innovative cuisine sparked a connection. As we bonded over flavors and dreams, it became evident that our aspirations aligned.
The journey from acquaintances to business partners unfolded organically. Late-night discussions turned into brainstorming sessions, and our shared passion evolved into a concrete vision for Sumthin Different Kitchen. It was more than a partnership; it was a fusion of our individual strengths and dreams, creating a synergy that laid the foundation for our culinary venture. Today, our shared commitment continues to shape the unique identity of our business.
