I just went to the local American Legion and they sounded pretty positive about letting me use their kitchen. If you join, it improves your chances I think. It has to be approved at their meeting next week though. Might want to try that out JD. Good luck.

Why do you need a catering license. Can you not do personal chef work in WA?

http://www.kingcounty.gov/healthserv...dBusiness.aspx http://www.kingcounty.gov/healthserv.../catering.aspx Can I prepare food from my kitchen at home? No food service can be approved in a home kitchen, unless there are two separate kitchens. A commercial kitchen must be totally separate from the kitchen used by the people who live there. An approved kitchen in a home would have to meet all of the requirements for any commercial food service. These requirements are detailed in the Food Service Plan Guide. As an alternative to constructing your own kitchen, the catering business could be operated out of an already approved kitchen. All food preparation would take place in the approved food service. Restaurant kitchens that are not open all the time or that have extra work space could possibly be utilized. Some church, school or community center kitchens may also be acceptable. The "shared" kitchen situations are evaluated on an individual basis.

John your house is spotless. Build a separate kitchen in the back yard. The whole catering license thing is about the government getting their hands in your pockets and controlling you.

When my HD rep asked where I was going to do prep work I told her it all happens on site just like any BBQ. She said, " I get it you buy the burgers, pork, sausages,ribs, chicken etc. from the butcher or cash and carry then season it on the grill as you cook ...right!?" I said yup thats exactly what we do. She checked of the box and went to the next part of the questioning. Now I know things are not the same over here but can you try something going that route? The next part was transport and refigeration- At the time I was using ice chest to transport my raw goods and that's not a problem with them, the only thing needed it a way to check and keep record of temps. I'l look and see if I stil have a PDF copy of the log sheets. Quote:

That is standard language for most, I believe. When doing personal chef work, you are cooking on-site by contract for private functions. Next month when you are here, we will discuss in full detail or call me, info is on the website.
