Today is a full-circle moment. 🥔🎉

In June 2024, Martina Scott walked into 6888 Kitchen with Boss Potatoes — loaded baked potatoes built from a story of resilience. Martina lost her job during the pandemic and started cooking from home to provide for her family. That hustle became a business.

There were ups and downs. Blood, sweat, and tears. But Martina stayed persistent, stayed consistent, and never gave up.

Today, she's officially opening her own space at West Social Tap & Table — our first 6888 Kitchen graduate to move into her own storefront.

When Charlynda, Jamaica, and I started this journey, our vision was simple: build a launch pad for entrepreneurs working hard to provide for their families through food, who just needed guidance, mentorship, education, and resources to get there. We believed that 2-3 years in our space could give someone enough room to learn, grow, and go out on their own.

Martina is proof of concept. God makes no mistakes, and we are so incredibly proud of her.

Go show her love today:

📍 West Social Tap & Table — 1100 W. Third St., Dayton, OH 45402
🕔 Soft Opening: Thursday, Sept 24 | 5-10 PM

Try the BOSS potatoes — Chicken Bacon Ranch, Loaded Potato, or Spicy. Each just $15.

Come hungry. Come support. Be part of Martina's next chapter.

Year one is officially in the books! 🔥 The inaugural From Scratch Food Summit brought together local food, founder stories, business insight, resources, and new connections — all in one room.

That spirit is at the heart of 6888 Kitchen Incubator's work every day: helping food entrepreneurs build, grow, and find the support they need to keep moving forward.

A special thank you to our presenting sponsor, iBROC, along with all of our sponsors, speakers, vendors, volunteers, partners, and everyone who showed up and made the first From Scratch one to remember 🎉
