I'm still looking forward to trying their food again, but this rubbed me the wrong way a bit too. A similarly hip restaurant that recently opened used a microfinance campaign that seemed much more appropriate for a for-profit business. However, if someone wants to essentially tip them in advance, that's their prerogative.

I’m with you 412% if I see someone using Honeycomb or other crowdsourcing stuff to help run or start their business I’m all about it. I can’t wait to try EYV later this week for that exact reason!
Using the same platform people have to use to beg for help with medical bills for extra cash while opening your boujee restaurant is quintessential trashy.

EYV was exactly who I was referring to! I haven't been to their brick and mortar location yet, but their pop-up at Station we went to was really excellent. I think they're still BYOB and waiting longer than they expected for their liquor license, which has definitely not been good for business. (Something is jacked up with the county--Back to the Foodture is waiting longer than anticipated as well.)

It takes about a year or longer for license
