Tazza launching The Big Kitchen, a drive-thru, gourmet food to go concept in Scott’s Addition

Tazza Kitchen, the local restaurant chain with six locations–including one that opened last December on Roseneath Road Scott’s Addition–is doubling down in the neighborhood with a forthcoming gourmet to-go concept on Altamont Avenue.

The Big Kitchen, as the new business will be known, may sound familiar. It’s been the home and namesake of Tazza’s test and prep kitchen for all of its area locations since last year.

Now, the restaurant is opening the operation to the public in a drive-thru-type operation. Think of it as Brew Thru for freshly-made prepared foods to take home or serve to a large group. The restaurant will also offer delivery.

Danielle Goodreau, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Chicago, will serve as The Big Kitchen’s Executive Chef and will assist in recipe development company-wide. You may remember her from Rancho T or The Sharper Palate.

No word on when The Big Kitchen will officially open, we’re hearing it will be sometime this fall.

In the meantime, you can sign up for updates on the business’s opening on their website.

The Big Kitchen is located at 1600 Altamont Avenue in Scott’s Addition.
