After putting her vegan catering company on hiatus for about a year, Tracy Flitcraft is firing up her chickpeas, tofu and seitan into a full-on restaurant.
Yummvees is planning to open this month at 3511 Courthouse Road. The space was previously home to C and D’s Kuntry Kitchen, which closed in April.
The concept is a renewal of Flitcraft’s home-based catering company that went by the same name.
“I told myself I would one day do a brick and mortar, though I didn’t think I would do it during a pandemic,” Flitcraft said.
