Crazy things are happening here on Nantucket! I have been given the opportunity to run the concession and gift shop at Children’s Beach!
I am so excited to soon share a full menu with you as well as some more about the concept. Basically The Hungry Minnow will feature family friendly, delicious and healthful food with a little bit of a twist. While we will have some favorite snack bar classics, we will also take a spin on some innovative items that I have come to love in my culinary journeys! Think street tacos, fries with eyes, skinny dips (dips you can dive into!), great baked goods and more!
Although the space is cozy there will also be a retail area featuring my recycled crafts as well as some art and crafts from local Nantucket artisans. Expect to see a few of my favorite gourmet pre-packaged foods from my talented friends in the industry and a few select gift items. Just as the whalers of Nantucket’s past have done I have sourced ingredients, recipes and souvenirs from across the world and look forward to sharing those with you! We will be renting beach toys and chairs and be a one stop hub for all your beachy needs!
With a lot of work to go, The Hungry Minnow is slated to open in time for Mother’s Day, or maybe sooner if the universe will cooperate. There is a lot to do to get ready. This all fell into my lap so quickly (sent in my bid on February 27, chosen March 1 and confirmed it was a go with the Board of Selectmen on March 22!) so to help finance things I have started a Go Fund Me account, anything helps, but honestly your positive intentions from around the globe help too!
Can’t wait to share some photos with you once I get the place spruced up!
Keep swimming,
Rebecca
