Kickstartin'

Kickstarter has released a map of all the U.S. restaurants funded on the site, and at more than 500, it's a doozy. Oakland's mac-and-cheese parlor Homeroom has the distinction of being the first-ever Kickstarter-funded restaurant (it raised a little over $7K back in 2010), and the full list includes AQ, Rich Table, Hillside Supper Club, 20th Century Cafe, Radio Africa & Kitchen, Pal's Takeaway, Marrow, and many more. CEO Yancey Strickler also sat down to talk about what makes a great restaurant Kickstarter. [~ EN ~]
