The Entrepreneur’s Space, our kitchen incubator in Long Island City, Queens, is home to emerging food businesses including Chee’Bonnet, purveyor of delicious cheesecake balls dipped in chocolate (above). According to the TimesLedger, Chee’Bonnet owner Pat Pilla uses the space’s “ovens, cold kitchen and mixer, [and] has also taken classes and learned how to market there.”
At the incubator’s first birthday, she attracted interest from various businesses looking to sell her product such as a hotel, a catering business and a major supermarket. ‘It’s not just going to a kitchen and cooking and then you leave,’ she said of the incubator.
