My very first Kickstarter project had nothing to do with food. In 2013, I was the publicist (and boom operator) for Minecraft: The Story of Mojang documentary. My friends at 2 Player Productions were responsible for documenting a lot of the chip music scene around the world and I went along for the ride when they decided to document how video games were made. Their first project was ambitious: head to Stockholm to meet with Notch as he formed his first company around the runaway hit Minecraft. We couldn’t have produced this film without the generous backing of our community through Kickstarter.
From then, I made it a habit to support creators through what little money I had to spare and at the very least, a kind, encouraging word.
Since my stint as a Creator in Residence last year, I’ve kept the Kickstarter family very close through cooking. I was thrilled when I was asked to make a surprise lunch for their 10th anniversary.
This menu is so so special to me. It’s the result of many years of testing, honing and tasting.
| Kickstarter 10th Anniversary Menu: | |
| Adobo pulled pork Lexington bbq tempeh Bourbon cherry ribs Smoked mushroom and cabbage Wasabi and black sesame potato salad | Potato rolls Rice and bean stuffed poblanos Carolina bbq sauce Kansas City bbq sauce Spicy bananacue sauce |
I was also very moved when I found out that Kickstarter made 10th anniversary commemorative pins inspired by my Eggcentennial project.
