The ownership group behind Richmond’s Kitchen Table restaurant is launching Kitchen Table Market & Café at 1160 Williston Road in South Burlington. The new business will take over part of the longtime location of Chicken Charlie’s Rotisserie, Grill & BBQ, which the Kitchen Table group bought in 2022. Chef and director of operations Craig Anthony, 38, said construction will start the first week of September and he hopes to open the café later that month. Chicken Charlie’s will remain open for pickup and delivery during and after construction, but it will no longer have seating.

The new Kitchen Table Market & Café will offer counter-service breakfast and lunch menus with seating. In the morning, choices will include yogurt parfaits, breakfast sandwiches and a top-your-own oatmeal bar. From lunch to 8 p.m., the café will offer premade grab-and-go sandwiches, custom sandwiches, salads, and soups.

Cooler and freezer cases will hold take-and-bake meals such as macaroni and cheese, lasagna, chicken pot pies, and other “hearty, homemade casserole-type dishes,” Anthony said. Sam La Croix, Anthony’s partner and the Kitchen Table pastry chef, will supply a wide selection of desserts, including moon pies, Swiss cake rolls and slices of her signature Matilda chocolate cake.
