09/10/10--10:11: Vote to make homeroom a top new food business, and we’ll give away 200 portions of mac + cheese! (chan 2717135)

Normally we don’t post twice in a week—but we’ve got some pretty amazing news to share.  DailyCandy, arguably one of the coolest websites out there that offers advice on things to do around town, named Homeroom as one of the top four small food businesses in America.  That’s right, America! Now it’s up to you to [...]


10/11/10--11:18: How to build a restaurant (chan 2717135)

We’ve been talking about it for months. We’ve been planning, designing, combing through pages of municipal code – and finally, after all the preparation, we have broken ground. Our space is a great big empty box– we have no electricity, no plumbing, no walls, nothing. So the first step is to dig big holes in [...]


10/26/10--20:45: The vision behind homeroom (chan 2717135)

In the past few weeks, we’ve been watching the walls of Homeroom go up with astonishing speed.  As we see our dream being built, it’s hard to believe that it was almost exactly a year ago that we (Allison and Erin) met up in a café and decided to open a restaurant together (even harder [...]


01/25/11--17:46: Homeroom gears up for opening day! (chan 2717135)

It’s here. That’s right, the time when you stop reading about our mac and cheese and actually come in and eat it.  After an exhilarating and exhausting year of fundraising, construction, recipe-testing, food events, legal hurdles, and good old-fashioned elbow grease, Homeroom is finally ready to open. We feel bad that we’ve been so delinquent [...]


04/06/11--16:04: Now that we’re open… (chan 2717135)

Well folks, we did it. A year after quitting our corporate jobs to follow our dream and open a restaurant – an exhausting year filled with planning, building, recipe-testing and wondering, “Are we crazy to leave our cushy desk jobs to open a mac and cheese restaurant?” We did it. And now, after six weeks [...]


04/19/11--22:47: You asked for it! (chan 2717135)

We get lots of emails. And phone calls, facebook messages, tweets and even letters. You’ve got questions – that much is clear – and we want to give you answers. So here we go. Responses to your most frequently asked questions. If we’ve missed something, leave a comment and let us know! We’d hate to [...]


06/23/11--09:59: School’s Out, Homeroom’s In! (chan 2717135)

Hey classmates, it’s official – summer is here. And even though school’s out, it’s the best time of year to be in homeroom. Why, you ask? Because we have lots of new tasty stuff on the menu that is perfect for the sultry weather sweeping through the Bay Area. When we first said we were [...]


09/14/11--23:34: Homeroom gears up for Eat Real 2011 (chan 2717135)

Exactly a year ago we found ourselves frazzled, exhausted, and elbow deep in grated cheese. We were preparing for our first huge mobile food event, the Eat Real Festival, using our meager home equipment and a posse of our dedicated friends to grate 400 pounds of cheese and boil hundreds of pounds of pasta. First Allison’s food processor broke. [...]


11/03/11--11:16: Pies, Platters and Winter Macs (chan 2717135)

It’s almost here. That one day of the year, when all you have to do is eat. When everyone sits around a big table with plates full of juicy turkey, salty stuffing, sweet potatoes with marshmallow and loads of gravy to top it off (or if you’re like Allison and Erin, you substutite a big [...]


11/29/11--12:47: Spend a Very Cheesy New Year’s Eve with Homeroom (chan 2717135)

Christmas trees. Latkes. Twinkly lights. Jingle bells. There are a lot of romantic images swirling around the holiday season. What all the chipper songs don’t mention are the two things that are more prevalent than reindeer—misguided holiday gifts and expensive, overblown New Years parties.  We’re here to change that. The best New Year’s parties in our memories were low-key affairs—ordering [...]
