Best Commercial Kitchen

What is the scope and setup of this kitchen?

The space features a fully operational, commercial-grade kitchen, complete with multiple ovens, large gas burners, stainless steel work surfaces, a walk-in refrigerator, and full ventilation. It's tailored for serious culinary production and high-volume prep during shoots.

What kind of productions is this kitchen ideal for?

This kitchen is ideal for cooking shows, large-scale recipe development, food photography sessions, catering preparation, and commercial shoots that require professional-grade equipment and ample space.

How much crew and gear can the space handle?

With its spacious layout and commercial utilities, the kitchen supports full production loads. Think multiple camera stations, grip and lighting setups, food stylists, and production assistants all operating comfortably.

Is natural or studio lighting available?

Although primarily a utilitarian prep space, the neutral finishes (light walls and stainless surfaces) make it easy to light. Production-grade lighting setups work well, and there is enough space to rig overhead grids or install continuous/flood lighting fixtures.

How is power and ventilation managed?

This kitchen features dedicated high-capacity electrical service for appliances and production equipment, as well as full-range ventilation hoods to manage steam, smoke, and cooking odors, ensuring you can cook on set without compromise.

What culinary amenities are provided?

Expect a walk-in fridge/freezer, commercial oven burners, stainless prep tables, double sinks, and storage racks. Please bring in your pots, pans, and props, or coordinate rental options via our studio team.

Is this space licensed for food preparation?

Yes. This kitchen meets commercial health standards and is suitable for food production, recipe development, and cook-test shoots within professional health and safety requirements.

What type of crew support is available on-site?

While no in-house chef is provided by default, clients can arrange food stylists, cooks, or culinary production staff through our partner network. Studio rentals include basic production support and facility services.

How do I reserve the space, and are there minimum requirements?

Bookings are made through our inquiry form. We generally require multi-hour rentals due to the time needed for preparation, breakdown, and cleaning. Contact the team to discuss your schedule, staffing requirements, and production goals.

How does this space differ from other kitchens on your site?

Unlike shoot-in loft kitchens (such as Loft & Kitchen or 5th Avenue), the Brooklyn Commercial Kitchen is purpose-built for production-focused cooking and bulk preparation. Its industrial layout and fixtures make it less stylized and more fit-for-purpose for culinary execution at scale.
