Lucas Fine Foods, offering “an array of seasonal gourmet-to-go foods cooked using fine artisanal ingredients,” is getting ready to open across the street from the Park Slope Food Co-op. They’ll be providing prepared meals, catering services, salads, sandwiches, Balthazar pastries, coffee, and boxed lunches for kids. The chef behind the project, Misty Kurpier, is identified on the shop’s website as a “Park Slope resident and mom.” A twitter update from the shop that was posted last week said, “Hood, Fire Suppression, plumbing complete! Painting in progress, 75% employees hired…almost there!” GMAP
Lucas Fine Foods Coming to Union [Brownstoner]
Very cool!
good luck to them
Is this in the old Tea Lounge spot?
I do agree we need something down in South Slope, although Union Market is down there too
I beleive “Get Fresh” opened with the same concept on 5th Ave – it failed miserably and they were smart enough to abandon it before it took them down, they converted to a full service restaurant and an excellent one at that.
Its a small sample but I think they are oing to need luck with this idea,
The “mom” thing was just annoying. I admit, I am a partnered gay man, but that description, especially in that area (which is my neighb) is so off-putting. Why would anyone add that to their ad. It just makes me think of their kid spitting on my food. The sign, the descriptions, everything about this place already seems so cheesy.

Waiting ’till rob reads this description.
hahaha. this place doesnt particularly come across as obnoxious tho. best of luck to them!
*rob*
I think the area can support them. As to why not the South Slope, probably because of a bit less disposable income in the immediate area.

brooklyn heights to gourmet foods markets: please join us. how does (1 street in) park slope support all those places while brooklyn heights with its perennially high rents, working professionals &ct. &ct. have only lassen and hennings (really not even close to the same league — it’s like a single A team v. triple A) and a dismal supporting cast of grocery stores? union market in particular, i’m looking at you: if you build it, we will come
Amen, fawn.
The co-op requires membership and has long lines. Blue Apron doesn’t have a lot of prepared meals that I can see. Union Market has good choices but it’s not all they do.
Looking forward to this opening. The Union Market prepared food section has sometimes saved the evening when I’m working late and too tired to cook.
