MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - -
Curious Kitchen owners and mother-daughter duo Helena and Rachel Spensatelli
hosted their annual “Elegant Seafood Feast" from 5:30 – 9 p.m. on Nov. 15,
serving up a variety of food at 1602 W. Northfield Blvd. in Murfreesboro.
The “Elegant Seafood Feast”
offered a splurge of food from fried catfish to crab legs, to fan favorites
like the New England clam chowder. The event included a mixture of soups,
salads, sandwiches and seafood. The sandwiches are served with a house salad,
soup and a side of wheat, sourdough or a wrap. Everything on the menu is below
$11. There were different entrees and sides for everyone to enjoy.
The festivities were spread out across the
room on multiple tables. There were plenty of samples to choose from, including
lamb chops and soups of the day such as broccoli soup. They also served
beverages such as lemonade, sweet tea, coffee, tea and soda. There were many
desserts choices, from key lime pie to strawberry cheesecake.
“We are really laid back and
funny,” Rachel Spensatelli said. “We are always joking around in the kitchen.”
The Spensatellis opened their
business in August 2014, and it has since seen a lot of success. Helena
mastered her one-of–a-kind recipes at the original location in Los Angeles
before gradually making her way to Murfreesboro in 2012. In April 2014, after
graduation, Rachel joined her mother to begin their journey as restaurant
owners.
The Curious Kitchen offers an assortment of
foods, from soups to sandwiches. The Catery is known for its locally sourced
and organic ingredients, serving fresh food every day.
“My Husband and I just had lunch at The
Curious Kitchen, and the food was amazing,” said Curious Kitchen customer Maria
Hernandez Kalbaugh. “Everything was fresh, delicious and healthy. We will
definitely go back.”
The
Curious Kitchen provides sit-down dinners, beautiful buffets, hand-crafted
cocktail bars, private cooking classes for any occasion, and much more. It has
grown from a recreational cooking school for kids and adults to a café offering
catering camps. Catering events are more
for weddings and luncheons.
“Growing up with an Italian chef as a
grandfather, really had a big influence on the way we make our food,” Rachel
Spensatelli added. “Both me and my mother are extremely creative and love
bringing that creativity out in our cooking as well as in our classes.”
The restaurant is open Monday-Friday
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Hours are sometimes adjusted on busy days. Although the café
attracts an older crowd, its classes for kids and families are always full.
Each class can hold up to 16 participants, so guests can enjoy a quality
experience. After each meal is prepared, guests sit down and enjoy the food
they’ve made. All materials one needs for the cooking classes are provided.
Classes are $65 for adult and $50 for children.
