“We just celebrated our seventh
anniversary as an organization, and we’ve
gotten on the radar of a lot of people. But
this (coronavirus) has naturally brought
us to the forefront and having to ever
explain why Giving Kitchen exists will
never be necessary. It’s going to be
self-evident for folks,” co-founder Ryan
Turner said. Turner is also one of three
partners in the Smyrna-based Unsukay
restaurant group, which owns Muss &
Turner’s, MTH Pizza, Local Three,
Eleanor’s and others.
